Tori Coulson Hello!

My name is Tori and i'm just getting back into reading but I have no one to chat books with :( which is why i wanted to join a group

I'm from the UK and I work as a purchaser for a soft drink factory. i'm getting married next year and I have two cats called Bill and Ted

I'm currently reading The Martian by Andy Weir and I'm about 95% done but I ran out of lunch break :( I think Station Eleven is next in my queue :)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Welcome to the group Tori.
I'm sure you'll find plenty of people here willing to chat books with you. :)

We had Station Eleven as our Book of the Month not long ago (discussion). So when you are ready to read it, stop by. Someone will be there to talk with you. :)

I loved The Martian. At first I didn't even plan to read it, but had to because of challenge and now I'm glad I did. Now I'm trying to get RL friend to read it so she'll be ready when movie comes out. Knowing her she won't do it :(

well it was a toss up between that or the invisible library and ive just seen thats nexts months book so i think ill go with that one instead.

Do you pick which book to read next based on whats on sale on amazon? or is that just me?


message 1106: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Are you asking me or group? :)

I'm mood reader, so I usually don't know what I'm going to read until I pick it up. Not to mention that usually I have couple of books going on in same time. :)

Group picks are done by members. Each month we ask members to nominate book in couple of categories and then we have a poll. Winner of each category is BOM next month :)

Hi-I'm Sara and I joined the group yesterday :)

Lately I've gotten the reading bug again and I just cleaned up how I use my time, so I can fit in more reading (goodbye Facebook and blogging, hello library!). Excited to get plugged into the group and jump back into the whacky world of reading challenges :)
