Hi Danielle and welcome to the group!
Our members read a variety of genres and we do have a lot of chick-lit and romance readers.
If you want to request a buddy read stop by our Buddy Read Request thread and make a comment stating the book you are interested in.

You'll find we read everything, and I really mean everything. :P
Best way to find buddy would be buddy read thread (check under requests). It's little crowded at the moment since we are starting new team challenge, but I think you'll manage.
And to make some new friends quickly, I suggest checking out (said) team challenge - Tower Teams III
Edit:
Amanda was faster ☺

I'm new to the group & looking forward to exploring a variety of genres/authors.
Birthday: January 5th

Favorite Color: Green

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Scotland. I made a very brief visit years ago on a family vacation and would love to go back and spend a lot more time there.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because...I always have a book close by & my bookshelves have exploded into stacks/boxes but I can't seem to get rid of any books.

I love Amanda Quick & Julie Garwood. Also did plan to reread them after joining GR, but somehow never started. All this new (to me) authors and all this different genres seems to interfere with it. :P

Favorite genres - Horror, Classics, Post-apocalyptic, Dystopian
I live in New Delhi, India along with my wife, some stray geckos who seem to have adopted me, and an assortment of books.
I would love to challenge myself to read more and read better, through this forum.

I'm sure we'll help you to read more. As for better, that's more personal thing. ;)

I am an avid book fan and enjoy all genres. I just love books and stories of all and any kind.

There is no such thing as a Favorite Book, Genre or Author. I can keep an open mind.
My favorite color is blue but I also like green, pink and yellow.
I have one dog and would love if I could have a house full!
I know I'm a book addict because I can talk about books like the charaters are alive and I sometimes forget that they are fiction and only live in my heart. I can reread books and do so often. I am always looking for author and book recomendations.

I also like books about dogs, but I also joined a dog book club here, so don't worry about that.
