Hello all!!! :)So great I found this group!
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Andreas, my birthday was less than 2 months ago (july 3), I love any good book from fiction to non fiction, I'm a doctor, and besides reading during my spare time, I enjoy writing, and I also love music. My favorite color is green, I mean, who doesn't love green right :).
Ok, can't wait to get more actions in this group.

Cool! :)
I live in the suburbs of OKC :)

Welcome to the group Andreas, Wren and Dee :)
Hi!My name is Teri. I've been in this group approximately a month. I don't think I've introduced myself.
I love apocalyptic and post apocalyptic books the most. Then dystopian, scifi, young adult and fantasy genres. Of course, I LOVE to read and I'm thrilled to have found goodreads. Though, I'm not sure why I didn't find it years ago?!! Considering I'm techy.
My goal on goodreads is to find books that interest me. Please *friend request* me if you have the same interest in the genres I've listed above. It doesn't have to be exactly all of the above and even if you enjoy other genres there maybe something outside my comfort zone that I might read. Please! I'm not a stalker or spammer. Im a plain ol' reader. Not an Author. that's it. (Not intended as an insult to authors at all) authors ARE the reason I'm here. Right? I'm genuinely looking to fill my feed with what you are reading and talking about. Listopia is great but it only touches on the most popular and not those hidden gems!!:)
Thank you and can't wait to connect with everyone!
Teri

Any Pets: Barkley, or Barks for short! My 90lb. "lap" German Shepherd
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Edisto Island, SC. So many sweet memories made here, my little piece of heaven!
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because....Even though I may possibly be the slowest reader on the face of the earth, I still love getting lost in a great read while cuddled with my pup, then realizing it's 2:00am!
Thanks for having me, y'all!

Hi, everyone. I'm a new member and am still trying to figure out how this works. I'll start by following the guidelines:

Pets: Other people's dogs
If I could live anywhere in the world: on the Gulf of Mexico coast near a wetland, but close enough to drive to a city
I know I'm a book addict because I spend money I can't afford in order to buy a new hardback book by an author I like just for the feel of it in my hands and for the smell of the fresh, crisp pages. Sigh!
Birthday: 4-1-88

Welcome to the group Teri, Lauren, Constance and Jessi ☺Hope you'll have fun here with us :)
Birthday: April 9Favorite Book(s): Picking a favorite book is like picking a body part I'd least like to lose. That being said I love the Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
Favorite Book Genre: I don't have one. I like to read from every genre. If it sparks my interest I will read it no matter the genre.
Favorite Author: Again I really don't have a favorite author. It is to difficult to narrow it down. The only reason I was able to name two books is because I read those recently and they stuck in my mind.
Favorite Color:I'm on a red kick right now, but my color preference changes as often as the books I read.
Favorite Food: Umm all food? (I feel like I'm saying everything to everything.)
Any Pets: A cat named Arthur who behaves like the reincarnation of the Once and Future King.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: A house with a huge, fully stocked library. Beauty and the Beast Style.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because...when I was younger and I would get in trouble my parents would take away my books as punishment. Even now my family and friends are constantly threatening to take away my books when I am being irritating or not paying attention to them. I have more books in my room than I have clothes in my closet. 90% of my gifts on birthday's and Christmas are either books or gift cards to bookstores.
Birthday: October 20Favorite Book(s): Ahhh, just one? Every book I am currently reading becomes my favorite.
Favorite Book Genre: Romance / Suspense / Mainstream / Thrillers / basically anything I can get my hands on.
Favorite Author: Again - so difficult to choose. Liane Moriarty, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jackie Collins, KJames Patterson, Jodi Picoult, the list could go on forever, but these are some recent favorites.
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Food: Chocolate
Any Pets: Siberian Husky - named Arkham
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Paris
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because....
Once I pick up a book, I can't put it down until I'm finished with it. I have been up until 5AM just finishing a book I am reading, which makes for a very sleepy and grumpy morning. :)
