Introduce Yourself Part Two Showing 301-350 of 1,852

[Rika-sama]

Hey there,

This club looks really nice and I'm looking forward to try some challenges! Unfortunately I had little time to read lately, but even reading about the challenges was nice. I think many are a bit too intensive for me, so maybe I'll just start with a buddy read :)

I joined because I don't have a lot of friends who read and I'd like to see other people's interpretations and thoughts on books. Some of my favorite books are Alice in Wonderland, The Old Man and the Sea and The Godfather. I mostly read 'classic literature' and sometimes fantasy/science fiction and some non-fiction. I read books from various writers and don't really have a favorite yet. I know I'm a book addict because... I dream of one day having a library room (and preferably a house attached to it).

Cheers ;)

[Becky B]

Welcome to the group Rika-sama. ☺
Be careful with the challenges, they can be very addictive. All of them have different levels so everyone can participate. Even if you don't read much.

If you want to make few 'quick' friends here, I suggest checking out tower teams challenge. It's easy one, all you have to do is read books (and it doesn't matter how many you can read). We are divided in several teams and we are competing who'll be first to reach certain number of points.

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to the group Madam Malice. ☺

I'd live in library if they'd let me. :P

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to the group Lois. ☺

We have a part of the group for authors Author Self Promotion where you can tell us more about your writing.
Of course you're welcome to hang out with us in other parts of the group too.

Same! It's like the scene in Beauty and the Beast when he buys one for Belle. I'd be totally smitten by that. :P

That library is only reason Belle stayed with Beast, no matter what Disney is trying to tell us. We know what's important :P

[R.C.A.]

Hi, I joined this group because I like challenging ideas and I like to challenge ideas. I'm also an author, but that's all I'll say about that here.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because I need less self-destructive compulsions.

[Earwen]

Hello. I joined in because I don't really have many friends who read. I kind of avoided the community side of GR and just focused on my personal list until now. Time to change that.
Ahem. I'm living in Turkey and studying computer engineering. Other than books I'm into video games and pro wrestling (don't tell anyone). Used to be a big anime fan in my early teens, now not so much but I still watch some.

Birthday: 10th July
Favorite Book(s): Too many, but among the stuff I read this year I really loved The Casual Vacancy.
Favorite Book Genre: Fantasy. Also children's literature. Though I can like pretty much any fiction.
Favorite Author: JKR, Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket
Favorite Color: Black.
Favorite Food: don't have one.
Any Pets: Used to have a kitty. Also several birds, but not anymore. I want to have a pet again when I have my own place. Probably a cat or a small dog.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Maybe Prague. I've been there once it was too beautiful. Either way not where I am right now that's for sure.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because....I'm not an addict I can quit if I want to! :)

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to the group, Earwen ☺

Welcome to the group Maggie. ☺

Look around. You'll find some great books being read. And some great challenges being played.

Have fun!

[Joshua]

Hello! This is my first group on goodreads! I have been looking for a local book club for some time, but to no avail. I then remembered that I have the goodreads app, so here I am! unfortunately, I'll have to post from my phone for a few weeks so please forgive me if I don't respond quickly or post a lot of typos. since my phone is stubborn, I will answer the questions I remember seeing:
favorite book: hard one.... catch-22?
favorite genre: I'm going to go with Sci - fi since that's most of what I read. I'm pretty open to everything, and probably the only genre I have little interest in is romance.
favorite author: another hard one.... vonnegut?
favorite color: green
pets: 1 choc. lab mutt, Moby ~2 years old.

I don't remember the rest of the questions, but I am 24, live it fort smith, AR, and am currently occupied as a chemist.
Nice to meet you all and I'm very excited to read with you! For my first event, I plan to join the group read for the Great Gatsby, which I have never read before! I went out and purchased a copy today!

[Joshua]

Ah!

favorite food: sushi
live anywhere: Germany (munich?)
I know I'm a book addict: because I broke my roommates shelf under the weight of my books, and have experienced a "bookslide"

[❀Tea❀]

Hello Joshua and welcome to NBRC. ☺

Thank you for picking us as your first group on GR. Hope we'll live up to your expectations.

There is plenty of us here using app so you won't be the only one with 'weird' posts. :P

Glad you'd already found something you're interested in joining.
If you have any other wish to buddy read with someone, you can always ask in our BR thread.
Also if you want to meet new people quickly, I suggest checking tower teams challenge. Nothing complicated, you only read books and get points for it for your team.

No pressure, of course, for anything. Only friendly suggestions. ☺ Take your time, explore the group and join in in whatever you like. ☺

[TerryJane]

Greetings! I'm Terry. Decades later, I still don't understand my parents giving me a mae name, but it sure added interest in middle school when I was put in the boys' gym class. I live in rural north Georgia with my husband and three homeschooled daughters, who are also avid readers. I recently followed my friend, Kathryn, to GR and this group.

Birthday: Dec. 26
Favorite Book(s): I'd have to go with either "The Stand" or "Gone With the Wind," as I found both worthy of re-reading despite their immense size.
Favorite Book Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Crime, Horror. Some Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Bios/Memoirs. I'd like a crossover involving a couple who travel through time to various historic periods in order to solve crimes with the help of a spirit friend. :)
Favorite Author: Stephen King
Favorite Colors: Green, Blue, Pink
Favorite Food: Popcorn, but it must be made the old-fashioned way, on the stove-top with kernels and oil. Not microwaved, air-popped or stale theater popcorn from a bag. *shudder*
Any Pets: One blue parakeet. I do wish he were a cat or a Great Dane, but then he'd be awfully unhappy in that bird cage.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, the Starship Enterprise, or maybe Inkworld.
I know I'm a book addict because... my biggest regret is not having started a lifetime book list when I was a kid. So very many forgotten books that will never make it to my GR book list. :(

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to the NBRC Terry. ☺

Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Food: Sushi
Any Pets: My dog, Whiskey, is my favourite reading buddy.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: London.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... one of my teachers at school once yelled at me for reading too much. I didn't know that was a thing?

[Elspeth]

Terry wrote: "I'd like a crossover involving a couple who travel through time to various historic periods in order to solve crimes with the help of a spirit friend. :)"

Have you tried the Out of Time series by Monique Martin? I've only read the first book and there was no spirit friend but there was a vampire!

[❀Tea❀]

Welcome to NBRC, Elspeth. ☺

Thanks for making us your first group on GR. Hope we won't disappoint you.

As you can probably see, we have plenty of (great) challenges. And people are great too.
If you want to jump into crazy immediately, I suggest checking out tower teams challenge. It's easy one (just read and collect points based on page numbers) but we all get little nuts in those trying to beat each other to the finish line. :P

Thanks for the welcome and, hmm, I think I could live in Narnia!
