Justin (rockstarintraining) Welcome aboard, Karsten. Your post made me hungry so I'm toasting a Canadian Jewish cinnamon raisin bagel. Honestly, I'm not sure of the nationality, but I'm hoping it's delicious.

Ah, denial is first sign of a problem. ☺
No worries. Just being here (in this group and on GR) will fix that. :P

message 208: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (thatcrazymama) Hi I'm Danielle! I am super passionate about animals & rescue, and am a foster mom for a local rescue, I foster kitties, and also foster dogs once in a while, too. I used to read a LOT and I always have loved reading, but for some reason I have kind of just stopped, and am starting back up currently. I have always wanted to be able to read books with 'buddies' and kind of have a book-club kind of thing, and am hoping this will be the place to be. I am going to try to be active here & read books with all of you and make friends!

Birthday: April 30th, 1988
Favorite Book(s): Currently I would like to say... Marley & Me.
Favorite Book Genre: Chick-lit. (I guess)
Favorite Author: Kristin Hannah, Jodi Picoult.
Favorite Color: Pink.
Favorite Food: Chinese food... mm
Any Pets: HEHE. I am a crazy animal lady, I have lots of pets, and love them all very much. I have 2 dogs, 7 cats (a result in being a foster mom for a local rescue) 2 bunnies, 2 guinea pigs, and a few hamsters! My passion in life is animals (clearly) and they are all rescues!
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: I honestly haven't gotten to travel much so I can't tell you.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I keep coming back to reading.

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 ☺

Jennifer Schell | 2 comments Hi! I'm Jennifer and completely new to good reads. My favorite book that comes to mind would have to be the Mistborn Trilogy, the Inheritance Cycle shortly behind that one.

I Have two little ones, 6 and 7, as well as two kittens, barely 4 Months of age. I am excited to get ideas for new books, and discuss books I have read. Thank you.

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9624 comments Welcome to the group Julie ☺

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

message 247: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cgraham698) Birthday: April 29, 1981
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.

message 249: by Chris (new)

Chris Martine | 1 comments Hi, My name is Chris and I live in Victoria. I liked the name of this book club so I joined it to see what kinds of books people are reading and recommending. I read a lot, but get bored easily with fiction that just don't strike me as original enough. It's like every second book is just a rip-off of some recent best-seller, except not as good, and most of the time I don't like the best-seller either! So I'm looking for some original stuff. Right now I'm reading a guy named Sergei Dovlatov, a Russian who died in 1990. Some call him the Russian Kerouac. His stuff is great.
I also like books about dogs, but I also joined a dog book club here, so don't worry about that.
