[Shaun]

I'm Shaun from the UK.

Found this group via a friend who joined it.

I read 34 books last year, and aiming for 40 this year.


I mainly read SF and fantasy but like to break it up with non fiction, drama and crime.

[Madelyn]

Hello! I'm Maddy and I'm from the United States! I am very new to good reads so I hope I am doing this correctly. I am a HUGE bookworm and even had a book blog. I enjoy all genres of literature but my favorites are the classics, contemporary, and horror. My goal is a bit of a stretch but I want to read 50 books!!! Wish me luck :)

[Olaoye]

Hello, I'm Hannah! I am from Nigeria! My favourite genres are Fantasy, mystery and thrillers. My reading goal for 2019 is 100 books and I'm kicking off the year with An Enchantment of Raven... May we always find wonderful books to read

[Dyn]

Hello everyone, my name is Michelle, just found this group and entered to keep in pace in 2019 reading challenge. My 2019 goal is to read 50 books, that splits into 5 books in a month. I'm starting reading "Subtle art of not giving a fuck" and "Becoming" by Michelle Obama.
I'm interested to read self-help, nonfiction books but this year I will read more philosophy and spiritual books.

I am definitely on the side of hard copies but I did receive a kindle for Christmas so I'm might take on a few ereads, although I will probably use it mostly for news and youtube. Holding an actual book in my hand will always have my heart, though!

[Ali]

Hello, all. I'm Alison, and I'm from the Houston area. I found this group by peeking into the Community section after popping on to Goodreads to update my reading goals for the year.

I'm a chronic re-reader, especially when I'm stressed and curling up with a well-loved book is a comfort, so my goal is to read 50 new-to-me books in 2019. I'd also like to branch out into new genres since I tend to focus primarily on mysteries, romance, and nonfiction about teaching.

[Tessa]

Hi everyone! I'm Tessa. I'm originally from Texas, but have lived in Oregon and Nebraska. I like to read a variety of things, but I particularly like dystopian books. I've been on Goodreads for a while, but this is my first time in a group. My goal is to get 19 books for 2019 :)

[Chrisia]

Hi Everyone, I'm Chrisia
I'm from Canada. I really enjoy reading sci-fi, YA and fantasy. My goal this year is to read 1000 books.

[Haritha]

Hi, myself Haritha, i am from US. I used to read books, since 2 or 3 years it was very less, almost nothing. So this new year one of my resolution is to read 200 books in 2019. and i am sure gonna complete my challenge..

Hi Morgan welcome! Stephen King is my favorite author do you have a book you can't wait to read by him this year. I think 50 books is a great goal. I learned last year that it is not about the number but more about having fun. Please look around and let us know if you need anything.

Hi Hannah welcome! That sounds like a fun way to start the year. Do you stick to just those genres or do you enjoy branching out? There are tons of challenges to help you reach your hundred I hope that you find one to love.

[Fiona]

Hi all. Ive just joined. Im Fiona and live in Ireland. I love to read and have done the book challenge the last few years on my own. However I looked for this group because I love to hear views and reviews on other books! My aim this year is to read 50 books this year. I managed 58 last year but I wasnt worried about the number really just that I keep going.
I read a lot of thrillers and history books mainly, but will try anything!
I love to lose myself in a good book! Looking forward to meeting some of you and thanks for letting me join.

Jamie I am happy that you found us and I also love all Stephen King. What I suggest is going to the Buddy Reads thread and asking if anyone wants to read that book with you. Welcome to the group I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Hi Rashidah Welcome! I am hopeful that our group will keep you motivated enough to want to read with everything we have to offer. There are short term and long term goals please pick what is most comfortable and join the fun.

[Ddub]

Hello and Happy New Year! I
I'm Deanna and I live in California. I've never explored GoodReads book clubs before but I was just perusing around and this one sounded pretty low key. I just set my goal at 12 books- a nice simple one per month. I used to be one of those people who wanted to read but didn't know what books to get, until a friend suggested using Goodreads best books of the year lists. I read a few of the 2018 winners and that has introduced me to lots of great authors. I'm currently reading Beneath a Scarlet Sky. Looking forward to hearing about all the great books out there!

[Demi]

Hello everyone I'm Demi and I live in Australia. I used to read just YA books but now I'm branching out to read adult fiction, mystery, thriller, contemporary, fantasy and sci fi.

I found this group by looking at other people's profiles.

My reading goal is 15 books.

[Ellie]

Hello everybody and happy 2019!!
I'm Ellie and I'm from Australia. I joined this group approximately two minutes ago, but I had found it about it few days ago when I was perusing the community section. This is the first group on here I have joined.
I'm open to read anything, but my usual genres include fantasy, historical fiction, YA, and adventure novels. My reading goal this year is 22 books, up from the 20 I read next year. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is reading!

[Andy]

- I am from the UK!
- Mostly read sciency non-fiction, sci-fi, and hopefully more horror
- Found this group... just by browsing
- My 2019 goal is 24 (two per month)... wish me luck!

[Merry]

Hi I'm Merry and I'm from the US (North Carolina). I've been on Goodreads for a while and found this group while looking through the "Community" section. I read 14 books last year and am hoping to read 20 this year. I read mostly novels and a lot of what I think is called literary fiction, but I also like mysteries as well as some historical novels, biographies and memoirs. I like to travel and I like to read books that are about (or take place in) places I have been or want to go. I'm looking forward to hearing about what everyone is reading, get some new ideas for my "want to read" shelf and generate some discussion.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Jeff from Tennessee.
I read mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy, but my goal this year is to read more non-fiction.
Looking forward to participating in some group and buddy reads.

[Donna]

Hi Everyone, my name is Donna. I work in a private library and have only recently gotten back to my love of reading. I spent one too many years studying in college and after being forced to read books that were not of interest to me, for a short while; I just could not read a book for anything as a result. That being said, working in a library certainly has its perks; but helping me to re-discover my love for reading is certainly one of the best.

My goal for 2019 is 20 books. For 2018, even though I only began my job in September, I managed to read 12 books (one of which, I finished in 3 days time, the last week of the year).

Hi welcome to the group happy to have you join us. There is a challenge tailored to lists this year that I think you will enjoy. 12 books seems like a stress free way to enjoy books welcome and happy reading

Welcome Donna I think you will see that we are a great bunch of people who love books. Looking forward to getting to know you and sharing book recommendations.

[Ashley]

Hi All! My name is Ashley and I live in Southern California. I really like reading romantic comedies, but right now am reading the Harry Potter series.

I was checking out the groups as I want to get back into reading more.

For right now, my only goal is to read more. I hope to get through 40 (or more) books this year.

[Dixie]

Greetings everyone and happy new year! I'm Dixie and I live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA (though my heart is in Britain). I have been an enthusiastic reader all my life. At the moment I'm reading mostly scifi and science fact but that can change without notice. I like participating in reading challenges here on Goodreads and on Habitica, to keep my reading varied and to keep discovering great new books. 2019 is going to be a busy year for me but I'm hoping to read 125 books by the end of it.

[Amber]

Hello everybody. This is my first year doing a reading challenge, though I try to read every day. My name is Amber, I live in Virginia USA, I'm a newly minted 38 year old and mother to 4 kids.

While I love to read, between working full time and having a family, I don't have the chance to read as much as I want, so I've set the goal at 30 books for the year and I'm hoping I'm not being too ambitious with that.

I'm not sure I have a particular favorite genre, if it sounds interesting, I'll generally read it. I'm not a huge fan of history per se, but again it depends. I really love post apocalyptic stuff, space stuff, YA, and plenty in between. I don't tend to gravitate towards non-fiction, but I have read some here and there.

It's good to meet you all!

[Anoop]

Hi
Anoop here from India.
I have been failing miserably in all the reading challenges I put up for myself in the last 2-3 years.
Maybe I couldn't do it as I was trying to do it alone.
So joining this group should help and push me to get to my goals.

Planning on reading 30 books this year.

Like both Non fiction and Fiction. No particular genre.

Would love to get hold of books like Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

Currently reading Murakami's IQ 84.

[Ariel]

Hi, I'm Ariel. I'm from Washington, DC. My goal this year is 70 books and I love romantic-suspense and sci-fi equally. If you recommend a book that combines both of those, we'll be friends for life. :)

[Tiffani Reads]

Hi I’m Tiffani, and I’m new here 👋🏻

A bit about me, I’m from Canada 🇨🇦, I will read almost any genre but I gravitate towards fantasy, historical fiction, and sci-fi/dystopian.

My reading goal for 2019 is 75 books!

Looking forward to interacting with this group!

[Richard]

Greetings all. My name is Richard, I'm Anglo-Canadian and live in Bristol in Southwest England. I'm a middle-aged ex-academic philosopher, and mostly read classical literary fiction. I've set myself a 2019 Reading Challenge of 25 books, which I suspect is going to be very difficult to achieve, as I'm also going to try to read the entirety of Proust in the original French, in which I am decidedly subfluent.

[Richard]

Since you like historical fiction, may I recommend Charles Dickens's two historical fictions, Tale of Two Cities and - something of a personal favourite - Barnaby Rudge.

[[deleted user]]

Hi all!
I love to read Clean YA fiction, Sci-fi, Fantasy and anything Dystopian.
My record for most pages in one day is 526...
My reading goal is to read 200 books in 2019.

[Amanda]

Hello, I'm Amanda and I enjoy all kinds of genres. Mystery and Fantasy are my favorite.
My 2019 goal is to read 15 books

[Michelle RA]

Hi everyone, my name is Michelle and I am from the UK!

I found this group as I was looking for something to help me achieve my reading goal - last year I had a few reading slumps and found it difficult to reach my target (I did with a day to spare) so hopefully this group will help 😁.

My reading genre varies, depending on what I feel like reading; although my main genres are YA and crime/thriller.

My reading goal this year is 50 books - fingers crossed I reach it!
