Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I prioritize book over other basic necessities like oh food and sleep. Example I’m in the middle of a really good book. My room mate “come eat” me “ in a minute” …. Three hours later still haven’t eaten. Or book I’ve been waiting for months comes out and I read through the night and end up going to work after sleeping for like an hour cause I had to read my new book.

[Tania]

Hello! My name is Tania. I've been looking for a group to join that has active discussion, and this looks like just the thing I've been looking for. :)

While I was earning my degrees (MFA and BA), I got used to being challenged by questions from other readers and lively discussion about what I was reading, but I haven't been able to find that as often as I'd like, now that I'm not in school. I'm also a writer/editor, and I sometimes need a reminder to read for enjoyment, not just for work. I'm hoping this will push me in the right direction! I look forward to talking with you all!

[Colleen]

Hi Sam! You're definitely not weird. ;) When I was in high school, me and most of my friends were avid readers, and we'd often swap and recommend all our different books. Our little group was probably the only one in our English class that actually read the required reading all the way through. (Well, mostly. I only actually finished a few...)
Welcome to the group!

[Tiffany]

Hi, my name is Tiffany. Although I joined this group about a year ago, I wasn't too active. I guess I just wasn't in a time and place when I could take on a reading challenge. I'm ready to do that now, and am glad I stayed in the group.
My birthday is November 21. I enjoy a good meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. I've been blind since birth but as I love the feeling of grass between my toes and enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass, I'll go with a favorite color of green. I don't have any pets, as my retired guide dog (a black Lab named Lara) resides with my parents. If I could live anywhere in the world, I'd choose Bhutan, which sounds so majestic and peaceful to me. To go hand in hand with that, my favorite book is The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Place on Earth by Eric Weiner. I enjoy reading cozy mysteries, especially the culinary sort. I know I'm addicted to reading because I could spend hours lost browsing Audible for new titles and spending hundreds of dollars there!
I hope to participate in some reading challenges, tackling my TBR pile, and meeting some new reading buddies here. This group seems large and a bit daunting for me, but hopefully it is as fun as it looks!
