I am Pritam from Kalimpong - a surprisingly warm town near the Himalayan foothills, in India. The only word that best describes my reading is "indiscriminate". Found your group to be just what I'm looking for as I plan to read at least 72 books in 2018 and would love to yak about them with the group.

That's enough of me. Hope to engage with you'll in the 2018 Reading Challenge!

Cheers!

Hi everyone. My name is Petula. I read all types of books. I go through either author or genre stages occasionally, only books by certain authors or genres. Right now I am into Christine Feehan. I love her Carpathian series. I have had to update my reading goal recently as I have surpassed it and there are still 6 weeks left in the year, lol. I don't get to read as much as I would like since I am now working again full time after being out of work for over a year. But I squeeze in every minute that I can.

Welcome everyone! We are gearing up for 2018, and we are so happy to have you join us!

[Nat]

Hey guys! My name is Natalie, I'm from BC, Canada. I'm new to goodreads, but I'm enjoying it so far.

I love to read pretty much all fiction genres - except westerns and romance. I love good solid stories with interesting, complex, characters. And I love a good psychological thriller!

I found this group just browsing around. I was interested in joining to meet likeminded people who love reading!

This year I've read 28 books; next year I'd like to read at least 35. Might be a bit of a stretch though - we'll see. In my defence, I have a 2 year old, so life can be pretty hectic sometimes ;)

Some of my favourite authors are:
- Liane Moriarty
- Amy Tan
- Kate Morton
- Audrey Niffenegger
- Diane Setterfield
- Gillian Flynn
- Stephen King
- Karin Slaughter

If you have any recommendations, please let me know!

[Sandra]

Hello everybody!! My name is Sandra and I hail from South Pasadena, California. I am newly back on the reading wagon and glad to have found your group! I am open to all genres though I generally gravitate toward historical fiction. I have begun to explore science fiction/fantasy and I also enjoy regency romance novels and recently read my first Memoir. I have never done a book challenge but I am very excited to try it out in 2018. I want to set reasonable goals so I do not become discouraged: 20 books of which three should be in Spanish.

[Susy]

Hi Sandra, welcome to the group! This group has some awesome challenges. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did this year. Wishing you good luck with your goal and happy reading!

I've been a reader since a kid, but now i want to "get in a next level" and read more classics, philosophys, YAs, thrillers and everything that can be interessing, so i think this group may help and encourage me to read new things.
