Nice to meet you all!

Hello. My name is Ashley. I am 30 and I'm a lawyer. I have been practicing for 2 years now. I enjoy reading and read horror, mystery, and crime mainly but do try to read other things once in a while for something different. I tend to read more fiction and don't really enjoy nonfiction but try some every now and then.
Hello! My name is Erin. I'm 30 years old, and I grew up in the St Louis area. Most of my favorite books have relatable characters and happy endings, but I also enjoy more realistic stories. I like mystery, romance, historical fiction, fantasy.... I'll read basically anything as long as it's engaging. When I'm not reading, I enjoy watching movies, playing board games, crocheting, playing video games, and cooking with my husband (I like it better when he does most of the work and I just get to chop things and hand him stuff). I'm so excited to be a part of this group! I've been on the website for a long time, but just discovered the group feature. I am looking forward to doing some reading challenges and bonding over loving and hating books together! :)

Hi! My name's Natasha. I'm a reader, writer, and project manager living outside DC. Originally from Baltimore.I fell into a reading slump and am hoping to find my way out of it. 📚 😊
Hey! My name is Cristiana. I'm 22 and I'm an electronics engineer, finishing up my master's degree. I'm from Portugal and I like reading fantasy and mystery, mostly
Mod
Welcome, Natasha! I know what you mean about a reading slump. Our Genre Challenge is great for getting out of your reading "comfort zone" and trying books you normally wouldn't have tried. It really has helped me in this area.
Mod
Hello Cristiana! We're so glad you joined the group. December's genre is Fantasy in our Genre Challenge, so feel free to join in.
Mod
So glad to have all of you on board! We have a lot of exciting challenges and buddy reads to keep the reading spirits of all the members up all year round, so don't forget to drop by and them all out.
Happy reading :)
Hey! My name is Natalie and I'm currently a senior in high school so I don't really know how much I'm going to be able to be active, but I love reading so hopefully I'll find some time to participate. My favorite genre is fantasy, and like many people, what first got me into reading was none other than Harry Potter. Although I love fantasy, I would basically read anything that seems interesting or engaging enough.
Thank you Heena and welcome Natalie 😁
Mod
Hi, Natalie! Welcome to the group.
Mod
Welcome, Natalie. Hope you'll discover more genres here that you'll like.

That area is so beautiful! I have a friend that wants to bike the Katy Trail for her birthday in September, and I am thinking about joining her for that leg because of the scenery!
Dagny wrote: "Sounds exciting, Erin. Do you bike a lot already or will you need to get in shape?"I will most definitely have to get in shape first! I enjoy biking, but it's been years since I've done it. I don't even own a bike right now! Most of my time on the Katy Trail (while not much) has been walking the last couple of years. Did you spend any time on it when you lived in the area?
Hello! I'm an undergrad finishing up my degree in earth science with a focus on geology. That basically means I spend a lot of time looking at rocks, thinking about rocks, talking about rocks, hiking to look at neat rocks, and so on.
Beyond that I read a bit, and write a bit. My preferred genre to read and write is sci-fi, but I read a bit of everything!

Hello Bailey, welcome to the group. I am a writer as well, though I mostly write dark fiction (psychological and horror stuff.)
I'm sure you'll enjoy the Fantasy challenge that Dagny mentioned.

Hey Samah, welcome to RMFAO. Student life is hard indeed - I used to read Jeffrey Archer's books during lectures and got caught too many times to even count ;)
Do have a look around at our challenges and buddy reads threads and feel free to participate in the ones you like. We're all here if you need any suggestions or recommendations.
Looking forward to seeing you around!
Hiya, everyone! I'm a rabid reader (duh), also a writer. Love every genre except horror because it gives me nightmares. :-/
Mod
Hey Errin, welcome to RMFAO! I'm a writer too, but I write dark fiction including horror, lol.
I hope you'll enjoy taking part in the reading challenges and the buddy reads. See you around.
Hello all, it's very nice to meet you. My name is Tearshiani Glass and I'm a new author. I have one published fantasy novel and currently working on book 2. I love to read and make new friends, so I'm happy to be here and can't wait to get to know all of you.
welcome Youmna, and thanks Cheryl
Hello everyone, I’m Matt and I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I usually stick to mystery/thriller, sci-fi and non-fiction. I’m been on GR for awhile and trying to get back in the habit of reading. It looks like the group might help keep me focused and motivated to take time for myself to read.

We also have a buddy read coming up next month so keep an eye out for that too.
Have fun reading :)
Hi all!
I'm Ashley, and I've just joined Goodreads on the recommendation of some fellow book fans.
I'm a Canadian teacher (I teach at a Francophone school), and I basically spend all my spare time either planning, grading, or reading. I do like some specific television shows as well, but if given a choice between a book and a show, the choice is always the book!
I enjoy reading fiction (the less realistic, the better), and cookbooks (mostly due to the love of cooking, but the pictures are always so much nicer than I can accomplish!). I am a big fan of YA fiction, thankfully, so I find it easy to find interesting reads for my students.
I've already posted in the December reading challenge, so I hope I'll see comments from many of you soon!

Thank you Cheryl!
Hey everyone! I'm Tiphanie. I am 21, I live in Houston, TX, and I am about to graduate with a degree in mortuary sciences but am currently working as an administrative assistant for an electric company. I love the horror and macabre more than I love myself, and have been an avid fan of reading since I was much younger. You can usually find me reading, playing video games, or watching horror movies. I love going to oddities shops and collecting wet specimens and old skeleton keys. That's basically the gist of me - I love being sociable so feel free to talk to me! Also would love to find someone to continually buddy read with!

Hello everyone. My name is Veronica. I'm from El Paso, Texas. I work at a convenience store and am a proud firefighters wife. I have 3 kids....the youngest is 19 but they're still my babies. Now that they've all graduated and are spreading their wings I find that I have more time on my hands. I enjoy reading (I've loved reading since I was a little kid). I also love music, movies, travelling, dogs, coloring, baking....the list is endless. 😂 i hope to meet fellow book dragons and make friends along the way. 📖📖😊😊

B'jour! (Sorry - couldn't resist -) I'm a bit of a francophile myself, tho. Wish we lived closer to each other 'cause we could trade cookbooks to read - I have about a hundred, I swear!

Hello, I'm Mere! I'm 25, and going to be 26 next month! I'm a Children's Assistant at my local library, so I'm pretty much in my element all the time there! I love reading, especially fantasy, historical fiction, LGBT+, and mystery books!
I'm owned by a tiny black kitten named Circe who likes to get in the way of my reading at times!
My name is Belinda Noah and I was born in Live Oak, Florida, to American parents of African American, Native American, and European descent. I have practiced law since I was in my mid-twenties and I have also been a director, professor, and actress. I just published my book Ageless Secrets that is available on amazon.com. It shows you how to stay healthy and reverse the aging process. I do my best writing on airplanes, at my husband’ zoo, and on my sunny pool patio at my Florida home. I love to play the role of health care mentor and advisor, explaining to everyone how to prevent and repair any damage to their body in order to stay healthy and combat and reverse aging.

We have an Authors section here where you can talk about your book: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
We like to keep book promotion to that section only. That way, more people can immediately find information about your book. Congratulations on getting your book published!
Hello, I'm Victoria Maye. I love fantasy and horror books. Most people say I'm obsessed with sharks. I can go through a stack of books (with 800 pages or more) that weighs 30 lbs in less than a week. I tend to draw a lot of book characters or read in my free time.

I adore music, Jazz is my favorite genre (did you ever heard Holly Cole singing? She's amazing!) and I'm a weirdo here because of it. But I like rock and heavy metal too.
I got dumped because I'm "too nerd" and it was hard but I'm proud of myself.
English is not my first language so sorry any mistake and hiiii!
