[Cat]

Hello, lovely book taggers! I'm Catriona and I had previously joined this group a year or two ago. I reset my Goodreads profile because my TBR got out of hand and now I'm really interested in playing along with you all, as it's in danger of getting out of control again! I also hope this group will inspire me to write more reviews. I'll join you for the tags in Jan. Looking forward to getting to know you all better too! Happy New Year!

Welcome, Kelly. This discussion is always active and we always welcome new members.

Our tag of the month is Science and you can find a discussion about that here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

YOu might also want to introduce yourself here:

Kelly, we would LOVE to have you join us. I am an administrator here, and want to welcome you. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. I am happy to help, but our members know a lot and are also wonderful resources and always willing to help.

I do want to mention that we have another very active Kelly in our group, so if you explore and decide you like it here, you may want to add an initial to your name. We have a lot of challenges and opportunities to earn "participation points" here, and without some way to differentiate the two Kellys it might get confusing!

Kelly - jump right in! Most find it easiest to start with the monthly tag - I did that in August 2018. And posted reviews of other books I was reading. I found the year long challenges too confusing to join at that point but being the beginning of the 2022, we are all still figuring them out so don't hesitate to try one.

Very shortly after joining in August 2018, I found myself joining a buddy read on Circe which helped pull me in quickly as well. Next thing I did was Fall Flurries. By the end of 2018, I had my reading and member feet under me and haven't looked back!

[Ellen]

Welcome Kelly! There is always room for more members.

[annapi]

Welcome, Kelly! Jump right in and ask any questions, we're a friendly bunch!

[Amy]

Kelly, you are going to love us. We are active friendly characters, dynamic, quirky, and welcoming.

[Joanne]

Welcome Kate! Great crowd here, I am sure you will love it

Welcome Kate! We are sure to add to your growing tbr.

We are also doing a Fall Flurry, using holidays and events from October to December. You might have fun with that as well.

Welcome aboard, Kate. ANY time is a good time to Play Book Tag, but you're joining at a perfect time. You should have your feet under you and a good idea of how the group works by the time the 2023 annual challenge(s) is/are announced.
