Short intro and a quick hello!

[Alex]

Good day everyone!

I am a new member of the Goodreads family and have joined this group today as my first attempt at contributing in the forums.

I got attracted by the group's name considering these 3 genres are the ones I tend to read most of the time.

My name is Alex
I'm 25 going on 26 in a week
I was born and raised in the Montreal area of Quebec in Canada and have travelled quite a bit. I speak both French and English fluently along with a basic knowledge of Spanish.

Currently reading
The Final Cut

Last 3 books I've read
The Girl with All the Gifts
Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders
A Fatal Grace

I guess I'll keep it simple and say that I love to read. The feeling I get when I find a book I can't put down or I want to get back to every night until I'm through to the end is a great one to say the least.

Why do I read? To find myself in a world that is not mine and try to understand it.

Please feel free to ask any questions, and I will gladly participate in the discussions as much as I can.

Hi Alexandre and welcome to the group. You have some good books in your list, and you will certainly find lots more. The members have a very wide range of reading tastes!

Welcome Alexandre, this is a great group!

Welcome!

I absolutely loved Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders, although I made a big mistake reading it alone at home one night. Didn't sleep until the sun came up.

Welcome to the group, Alexandre. I'm also from Canada, just the opposite coast. I've got a couple of Louise Penny's books on my shelf awaiting my attention. I'm looking forward to starting them. I hope you enjoy yourself here.

Thanks for the welcome everyone :) And yes, Helter Skelter was quite the shocking read. I can understand why you had a hard time sleeping Nancy!

I was living in Los Angeles at the time, so it was even worse. LOL
