Welcome guys

[Zeni]

Hi my name is Zenaida. I use to be a really active reader before I had my son, now that he's a toddler and a little more independent I'm trying to be that active reader again. I'm also hoping joining this group will get me back on the wagon as well.

Birthday: December 1st
Favorite Book(s): Catcher in the Rye
Favorite Book Genre: Fantasy, Horror, Young adult, But I read just about anything.
Favorite Author: J. D. Salinger and R. A. Salvatore
Favorite Color: Orange
Favorite Food: Chicken Wings
Any Pets: 3 dogs, but they live with my parents
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Near the beach and somewhere mostly warm.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I savored my sons picture books hoping I had time to read something more adult.

[Jason]

My name is Jason, and I moderate two book clubs: The Eclectic Shade Tree (here on Good Reads) and The Holy Fools of Shepherd (at my church). I'm always looking for new ideas for future selections, so groups like this serve that purpose for me. As to the questionnaire:

Birthday: January 27
Favorite Book(s): Cloudstreet by Tim Winton
Favorite Book Genre: Literary fiction
Favorite Author: Charles Dickens
Favorite Color: Brown
Favorite Food: Tamales
Any Pets: No
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: London, England
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because...I sometimes worry about the floor of our apartment caving in.

And now I have a question for all of you. In The Eclectic Shade Tree, members take turns choosing selections so that all of our tastes are represented equally. I always agonize over what to choose, and so this time (my next selection comes around on February 1st) I've decided to put it to a public vote. I've chosen 10 titles as finalists, and I would like all of you to visit the List Challenges page that I've set up and cast a vote for what you think I should choose. Read about the books here on Good Reads before casting the vote, if you would. But make sure you click on "Update My Results" at the bottom of the page once you've clicked on the cover of your choice, otherwise I'm not sure the vote will have been recorded.

http://www.listchallenges.com/vote-fo...

A million thanks. :)

[G.W.]

Hi, I'm G.W. Eccles and Peach Publishing has just released the second in my Leksin thriller series Corruption of Power

I lived for many years in Moscow and Central Asia travelling extensively throughout Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan - often to places with restricted access to foreigners. During my time there, I advised a number of real-life oligarchs how best to take advantage of the opportunities that became available as regulation crumbled and government became increasingly corrupt. Not surprisingly, therefore, while my novels are fiction, many of the anecdotes and scenes are inspired by actual events.

I now live with my wife - and a cat called Lenin and a bulldog puppy called Boris - in a hilltop village in the South of France.
