Introductions - 2021

[Sasha]

I’m actually at a night shift at the moment (don’t tell anyone 🤫😅) but when I’m home I will do!

[Jocelyn]

Agree with Janice- sometimes I open it on safari on my phone as well.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Welcome, Sasha! I agree with Janice. Using the website is much easier than the app and it has more to offer as well. I'm sure you'll catch on to everything quickly once you're able to view the whole site. Don't worry if you have newbie questions. We're a very friendly group.

Welcome Sasha!

[Margo]

Hi Sasha, welcome!

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Welcome Sasha!! I agree with Janice, the app is terrible. But if you can look at goodreads through a browser like chrome or firefox, even on a tablet/phone, it's heaps better. We have heaps of tricks to help :D

[Sasha]

I’ll definitely give it a go and explore more once I’m done with work this week :)

[Travis]

Hey everyone!
I’m Travis. I’m pretty new to reading as a hobby. School had kinda ruined it for me but glad to be back and glad to be in this group.

I just read song of Achilles and project Hail Mary. Working on Dune right now before the movie comes out. Hopefully I can get some good suggestions from you all and look forward to meeting more of you!

Thanks for having me!

Welcome Travis!! Lovely to have you join us, and welcome back to reading for fun. School has a lot to answer for sometimes. Look forward to chatting with you more and see what you read :D

[Tasha]

Hi everyone. I'm Tasha, trying to get back into reading more regularly, so thought i would try a book club out. I like reading a bit of everything really - currently reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley. Looking forward to discovering some new reads, just picked up Remarkable Creatures to join you in August! Thanks for letting me join.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Welcome, Travis & Tasha! Glad to see you are both diving back in to reading more. This club will definitely offer up many suggestions!

Welcome Hannah! Have you checked any books out yet? What genres are you planning to read?

[Lorraine]

Hi I am Lorraine and just joined this group. I love reading and always on the lookout for new books to read. Am a newbie to this book club/ group thing so will be learning as I go. Thanks for accepting me to this group. Lorraine

[Jenn]

Welcome Lorraine 😃

[Margo]

Hi Lorraine 👋 There is lots going on here so jump in where ever takes your fancy!

@Hannah, that's a good way to start. I like to dip in and out of most genres.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Hi Lorriane! Welcome :D Please feel free to ask any questions you need, and look forward to you joining in any of our activities

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I agree with Margo, Hannah. Libraries are a great way to work out what you like.

[Janice, Moderator]

Welcome Lorraine. I see from your profile that you want to read The Lost Apothecary. That book has been nominated for our November themed read.

[Angie]

Hi! I'm Angie and joined to broaden my reading horizons. I typically read horror/thriller books, but became stumped on what to read next so here I am.

[Janice, Moderator]

Hi Angie! Welcome to YLTO>. I'm also a fan of horror books. I also like other genres as well. Hopefully, you'll find some activities here that will help you with that "what to read next" question.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Welcome Angie! We are full of ideas and excuses to read different things. Hope you find something interesting, and please let us know if you have any questions at all :D

[Jenn]

Welcome Angie 😃

[Margo]

Hi Angie, you're very welcome to the group 😀

[Anusha]

Heya,
I'm Anusha. I'm here as I found this group interesting and would like to diversify my reading. I love reading fictions, mostly fantasy, mystery thrillers. Hoping to participate in the challenges here next year. :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Welcome, Anusha! We read a lot of different genres in this group and the challenges will certainly help you to diversify! :)
