Hi everyone!!
I’m 15 years old and I love to read (obviously). When I’m not reading I like to write down ideas for books in a notebook. I also like to draw and binge watch Netflix series. 😁

Hi, everyone! I'm Natasha. Love reading, especially fantasy, but I fell into a slump and looking to dig my way out. What better way than to have accountability buddies/other reading fanatics? Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome, Faiz! You might be interested in our Classics Catchup challenge. Here is the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[ThirTeenTh]

Thank you for your recommendation. But the problem is that i have my own want to read list. What if your challenge collide with it. I only read 5 to 6 books per month.

Faiz,

The Classics Catchup challenge lasts all year, so you do not have to read a classic book every month to participate in it. What you could do is look at your “want to read” list, then look at the monthly and yearly challenges in the group. Do any of the books you are going to read fit in any of those challenges? If yes, then you can post that book title in that challenge message board. If no, then don’t worry about it. We are a very relaxed group and we do not pressure our group members.

[ThirTeenTh]

Currently reading sapiens. I will attempt the challenge after that. Looking forward to hearing from you people.

I’m glad you decided to post, Amanda. We are a very easy going group, so you never need to feel pressured to do anything here. There are a number of members in this group who also enjoy romance novels. You can always post about any books you are reading in this thread:

If you know what the book is called please let me know!!!!!!!

Hi Alex, welcome to RMFAO. I am a pet-parent too! I have 4 cats, what about you?
Sorry, I don't know which book are you referring to. Can you share more details about it?
Please have a look around at all the challenges we have, I bet you might be interested in at least one of them :)

[Pete]

Hi, Heena I have 2 dogs, named Ghost and Goldy. They are my world, and that’s really all I know about the book. I had forgot to add it to my want to read list and now I have no clue what it’s called or who’s it by.

[Cheryl]

Welcome to the group, Enigma!

[Pete]

Thank you, Cheryl😁

[Pete]

Thank you, and yes hopefully I’ll find it.

[Arshad]

Hi everyone, My name is Arshad from India. I'm excited to link up with the readers in this community and hopefully get a few recommendation along the way. My quarantine reading is going on well(currently reading 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers). I'm not the fastest reader, but I leave a book bone dry.
Happy reading!

[Lukutar ☘]

Hey everyone! I have been a member for a couple of months now but I have been mainly just lurking around. But that changes now :D So I'm Lukutar, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Finland! I mainly read fantasy, scifi, ya and historical fiction but I'm not really picky about books I read. I'm a student. When I'm not reading, I like to play video games, do some yoga or go for a walk, listen music and surf around the reading groups :) I also do geocaching, go for a longer hikes, cosplay and go to conventions and concerts. Nice to meet you all!

Hey Lukutar, welcome to RMFAO! Finland is such a beautiful country, I've always wanted to go there! Wow... you're hiker! I'm also in gaming though I'm not able to play a lot these days (or even some.) Anyway, do join us for the YA challenge Dagny mentioned. You might enjoy it :)

[Lauren]

Hi my name is Lauren. I am new hear. Working on my first reading challenge (52 books in 2020). Started in May so I’m not sure I will make it! Struggling with “Cloud Atlas” right now. Anyone willing to buddy read w/ me?

Welcome to the group, Lauren! Good luck with your reading challenge. It’s always fun to set a goal and try to meet it.

I’ve tried reading Cloud Atlas and it just wasn’t for me. Maybe someone else in the group has read it and can give to advice on it. Or maybe someone will take you up on the buddy read. Don’t feel bad if you choose to give up on a book, though. Life’s too short to force yourself to read a book you don’t enjoy.

[Elise]

Hi my name is Elise I just joined because I love reading and my tbr list is huge and I love to discuss books and do reading challenges. I might not do as much as some as a nurse in this crisis my time is short for hobbies but I need a release and some interaction with people feeling a little lonely from this social distancing. Since I just started advice on where to start with this group. Challenges have been going awhile can I still join in?

[Cheryl]

Welcome to the group, Elise! Please feel free to join in any of the reading challenges at any time. Even the Genre Challenge does not require you to participate every month for every genre. We are a very relaxed group and emphasize reading for enjoyment above all.

Being a nurse must be stressful right now. I hope you take some time for yourself to just relax. You can talk about the books you read in this group, and hopefully that can be a good escape from stress.

[Alejandro]

Hello, all!

My name is Sash, I'm 27 years old and I live in beautiful Sweden with my wife, my 3 human kiddos and my 3 furry ones.

My hobbies are: reading (I had abandoned the habit for many years due to hard work but got sucked in due to free time), writing, watching TV shows and movies and discussing them with my wife (she's a scientist so she HAS to analyze everything), studying online courses related to all my areas of interest (mainly STEAM) and dancing (latino dances: salsa and bachata).

Nice to be here and I hope I get the hang of knowing how to use this group. :D

Welcome to the group, Sasha! Please look at our message boards to see all of the group reading challenges. We want you to have fun when reading, so you can join as many or as few challenges as you'd like. You can also tell us your thoughts about a book you've read when you post a message, if you want to.

[Alejandro]

Thank you for such warm welcome!

I look forward to doing as many challenges as I can. 😃

[Heena]

Hello, Lauren, Elise and Sasha. Looking forward to seeing you guys around. Please feel free to explore and participate in the challenges :)

[John]

Hi. Adelaide, our moderator for "Classic Trash", mentioned this group and have been reading some of the books the group is into and jumped in. Am a "boomer" but just love the wonderful world of reading. audio books just have a missing ingredient for me( the inner voice) but they are great on long trips up to my hometown of Petawawa, Ontario. The book club at my local library is in flu
x and the prospect of starting up any time soon seems bleak. Sad. Have ventured into "aboriginal" writers lately, Cherie Dimaline, Edin Robinson. Alam Katsu and Jonathan Whitehead to name a few. The mixing of "first folk" tradition in our modern time are fantastic! Well any how thanks for allowing this boomer in your group. Later. Keep Reading.

[Joan]

Hi ~ My name is Joan. Born and raised in Lansing, MI. Worked as an RN at the local hospital for many years. After retiring my husband and I moved out west to enjoy the sunshine.

[Cheryl]

Welcome to the group, Joan! Please look around and feel free to join any of our reading challenges. Some are monthly, but some go on for the entire year. You can begin any challenge at any time. And you can post a review for the books in your reading challenges, if you want to.

[Mez]

Hi Everyone ! I'm Mez , I've been on GoodReads for a little while but just getting around to trying to be more active on here.

I've previously used the app to remember books I would like to read in the future ^_^.

I'm open minded and like all genres, but tend to lean towards more thrillers and suspense . Im hoping to meet other book lovers and make new friends :).

[Cheryl]

Welcome to the group, Mez! Please feel free to join any of our reading challenges. I have found them a good way to find new books and author I'd have missed on my own.

[Heena]

Welcome to the group, John, Joan and Mez. It is great to have you all here! Please have a look around and check out our reading challenges and feel free to jump in whichever sounds interesting to you.
See you all around :-)

Hi everyone! My name is Steph. I’ve been on Goodreads for most of this year, but have spent most of the time putting my books in, and not realising there was probably a community of bookworms like me on here (I get there eventually🤣).
I’m a married mom of three teenagers and an elderly beagle. I have read constantly my whole life and am a data dork about my reading habits (thanks #bookly). Looking forward to joining this community.

I'm Malorie and I am a little 5'2" sheep farmer that frolicks in the field with my 3 guardian dogs (Athena, Aslan, and Bailey) and my other 2 pit mixes Sarge and Pearl. Yes thats 5 dogs all around 150 lbs a piece and one 5lb cat to rule them all 😁 God I'm a nerd 🤦🏻‍♀️I'm also a firefighter and I read a lot of books. My favorite genres are historical mystery, historical fantasy (I adore steampunk mysteries), general mystery and adventure, and really anything but romance.
