Hi! I'm BookWol over on Fantasy, really excited to join in on Bingo this year and participate in book of the month discussions once I'm all caught up on Hobb's RotE series! Please feel free to friend me if you're so inclined, I love seeing everyone's reviews. :)
/u/mtidc88 Hi, new to the group, been on the sub a while. not posted much, going to get more involved from now on!
Hi folks, I'm /u/IHLaking - great to be here!
Hello everyone :)! /u/Sineadjasmine here, regular lurker on Reddit and more active member here on Goodreads. Participating in the Bingo this yeas so feel free to add me, would love to see your recommendations!
Hey everyone! So, I've been in this Goodreads group for over 2 years and on r/fantasy even longer and I just realized I never actually posted in this thread! I'm /u/mcmagpie over on reddit. Feel free to add me!
Hey y'all! I'm /u/CoffeeArchives on Reddit. Feel free to add me on Goodreads!
Hello all! I'm /u/bookeyman on Reddit. Looking forward to reading some great books this year with you all. Feel free to add me!
Hey all! I can't recall if I've posted here before...but I'm u/Titan_Arum. I love me some fantasy but I'm especially interested in any African fantasy now that I know I'm moving to the DRC in a year for work. Any suggestions?
Hey r/Fantasy goodreaders, I've been a member for awhile but I don't spend too much time on goodreads. However, I check r/Fantasy several times a week and try to post there when I can. I really like that community and was interested to see that so many people use goodreads to get recommendations for books.
I've read some of the books of the month, but I always seem to be out of sync. But, I'd like to participate more and look for some ways to get some recommendations.
My reddit name is u/htiw which stands for ... nothing. I was lazily trying to come up with an easy to remember name and everything I picked was taken and I really didn't want to add a number on the end. So I ended up with the conjunction "with" spelled backwards.
Maybe I'll try to come up with a better story.
Hi guys and gals,No surprise, but I am u/theadamvine. Always looking for new fantasy to read. Write some, too.
Hallo from Germany.
Hi everyone,I've been a longtime lurker on r/fantasy but only (today) committed to getting more actively involved. My reddit name is u/Sarrenai which is the name of my favourite character in the fantasy novel I'm working on.
Always interested to see what the Reddit community has to say regarding the latest releases, and looking forward to reading with you all. Feel free to add!
/u/amandaswords brand-spanking-new Reddit user, new to this GR group as well. I stumbled upon the Fantasy Book Bingo which is right up my alley which inspired me to join Reddit and the group. I'm looking forward to meeting other Fantasy fans, learn about books, share thoughts on books I've read.
/u/barb4ry1 - I try to post some content on r/fantasy and I'm always eager to find new interesting titles to read.
Hey guys! I'm /u/vicky216n
I mostly lurk the subreddit, but I comment from time to time. I like to read anything, but my favorite genre is fantasy. Feel free to add me on GR!
Hey all, so glad to find some fantasy redditors on GR! I'm /u/dkoboldt there and would love to follow what you're reading here.
Hey everybody!I'm /u/remixslayer on Reddit. I read mostly fantasy and sci-fi. Feel free to add me on Goodreads!
Hey everyone!New to r/fantasy, but have been on Goodreads for quite some time. I lurk r/fantasy on a daily basis and haven't posted there much, but I would love to become more involved. I'm /u/isadora_sweet on reddit and just now decided to participate in the Bingo Challenge for this year; I've already got 4 squares covered!
Feel free to add me on GR, happy reading!
Hey folks!I'm Phil Tucker, author of the Chronicles of the Black Gate. Great to meet you all!

Hi all,I'm pretty new to Reddit (/u/readeatsleeprepeat) but the idea of the fantasy bingo caught my attention. I read most things but for me fantasy is like the comfort food of literature - it's what I crave at the end of a long hard day, or when I'm feeling down or stressed. And just because it's comforting doesn't mean it can't be as good/well-done/delicious as some of the more high-falutin' literature out there!
Howdy all,My Reddit name is u/all_that_glitters_ and I go through phases of commenting, lurking, and avoiding Reddit. I do want to participate in bingo this year (I started last year and then got sidetracked). My goodreads page is a bit of a mess and I use it really infrequently. but looking around more I'm not sure why! Trying to get more involved, and figure it's a better way to track bingo books than the post it notes on my nightstand are. I'll probably be compulsively organizing shelves and stuff for awhile, and trying to figure out how it works exactly. cheers!
Hi, i'm u/AccipiterF1. r/fantasy has increased the amount I read massively and I'm very grateful for it.
Hi, I'm u/lmason115. I recently learned about fantasy bingo, and thought it sounded really cool (haven't done a great job keeping track of what book fits where, but I read often enough that I probably have at least a few squares completed by now). I'm also fairly recent to r/Fantasy, but now I check it at least twice a day to see what people recommend or think about other books. Sometimes I comment, but usually I'm a lurker. Feel free to follow me on Goodreads!
Hey /r/fantasy! I'm u/raivynwolf, long time lurker of /r/fantasy but haven't really commented much until recently. This year is my first time doing Bingo, so I've been trying to talk more. Super stoked to be read Nice Dragons Finish Last this month! I've discovered so many awesome books and amazing authors (especially indy authors! I had know idea there were so many great ones hiding on amazon!) because of /r/fantasy.
u/SwiffJustice is my r/ name, and I've been posting over there quite a bit recently. I've always been a message board guy, but for some reason never got into Reddit or GR until recently. r/fantasy has a fantastic community of readers and writers, and thanks to authors promoting their own work + the SPFBO, I've been reading crazy amounts of independent stuff I wouldn't have heard of anywhere else. Pretty grateful for what we've all got going here.
hello! I'm /u/livandletlive on reddit. Often lurk, but occasionally post. r/fantasy has introduced me to a ton of books I probably wouldn't have found elsewhere.
Hi! I'm /u/mybodyisapyramid. I mostly lurk, but I'd like to start participating in more discussions!
Hi! I'm u/Dingan and I've spent most of my time observing rather than participating. Had most of my books on an e-reader that got stolen and gave up on reading but I'm back in business now!I'll try to participate in the monthly book discussion if the piques my interest. I'm also looking for people to connect with in the hopes of finding more material to add to my reading lists so feel free to add me if you're like-minded!
Hi all. I'm /u/cheryllovestoread. I have really come to enjoy speculative fiction in the last few years. I read a variety of book categories (children - adult) and genres, but fully admit I'm mostly reading SFF these days. I'm very interested in everyone's shelves here on GR because I value & trust your recommendations on /r/fantasy.
Hi I really just lurk on reddit (u/doctorjeep666) but I enjoy the recommendations & lists & want to do bingo so here I am :-)
Hi.Mom says I should get out of the house more, and make friends, so I am here to begin to learn to talk to other people.
I hope it does not make anyone in this group uncomfortable that I am needy, clingy, and require constant affirmation that I am a valid human being and not a pest.
In return I will be everyone's bestest friend ever. I can do that. I will make eye contact across the internet and befriend all and cut your names on the souls of my left foot not my right one that has the names of my old writing group from Writeon which did NOT fail because I made everyone leave.
So; uhm, anyway; hi!
PS: I didn't make Authonomy sink either.
PS2: I am user u/RaymondStElmo
Hi everyone, I am u/ superdragonboyangel. I am looking forward to some good book discussions!
... hmm.m m.m m. .. I could've generated the Raymond message with an AI. Is there proof that "Raymond" is breathing oxygen, .. ?!..
Hi I'm /u/woltmann, looking to be more active in reading groups in general, since I don't have many friends who share my passion for books and fantasy, and it would be nice to talk to someone about the histories we have read. Anyway it's nice to meet you guys, and I will be adding whoever wants to be friends here on goodreads.
Hi all. u/TidalPawn over on reddit. Fairly new to the sub as well as goodreads. I've already discovered several new books through r/fantasy and I look forward to finding even more.
Hi all. Love to read fantasy books. Feel free to suggest me the awesome books you read
Hello! I am /u/slayra and I joined the book club because "Howl's Moving Castle" is one of my favourites. I love almost any fantasy novel, but I have a special respect for Pratchett.
Hi! I'm /u/30SecondFantasy, based off my first writing related project. I write general fantasy and urban fantasy. I'm hoping to learn more about writing, read more, and write more. With any luck, it'll free me from corporate drudgery. Probably more luck than I have, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful.
I joined this group based on the recommendation from the /r/fantasy sidebar.
Finally bit the bullet and joined reddit, though I've been on Goodreads for years and in the independent author groups. I'm /u/tracywc. One of the first things I found on reddit was this group!I write SFF, and have a couple novellas out, I'm also running a kickstarter for my latest book.

Hi, mainly a lurker on reddit, Lord_Aetius, though aiming to get more involved when I have the time. Self-published my first fantasy novel this year, Toric's Dagger, entered in #SPFBO. Would love to add friends on Goodreads with anyone who is interested.Jamie
I had never used reddit before, but I heard about the fantasy bingo, in April, and I've been doing it on my own. However, I guess I should join the group! I've read books for nine of my squares so far. So, where am I supposed to update what I've read? I use Goodreads, but Reddit is totally new to me as a user. I'm u/goldensunprincess.
I just finished The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories last night for my 5 fantasy short stories box.
Hi, I´m /u/XForce_19 and I´m new to reddit so I usually only read My passions are reading and listening to music, especially alt pop/rock. I get so many recommendations from reddit so I thought of join here.
Hi, I'm minlove on Reddit, but I mainly lurk. I am doing the bingo this year for the first time, and am currently reading my last book for it, Throne of the Crescent Moon, by Saladin Ahmed. Doing the bingo has definitely broadened my reading categories, and for the most part (aside from the nonfiction category) has been very entertaining as well as enlightening. I even enjoyed the horror book that I read, which was We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson.
Yo. /u/mysteriouspenguin on reddit, I mostly lurk on /r/Fantasy, /r/malazan, and /r/Cosmere. In terms of taste, I'm a huge Cosmerenaut, as well as liking Malazan, Discworld, Wheel of Time and Powder Mage, although you could figure that out yourselves. I'm not too interested in actively hunting down a bingo score, although I might come close, but I'm still looking to broaden my tastes somewhat.
Hello all! I am u/Heatmiser70 on reddit and a part of r/fantasy for a fair amount of time. I don't post very often, but try to comment when I have something helpful to say.Love reading just about any type of spec fiction. I've not been a very active participant here at all - mainly due to time constraints (work full-time, married, father of 3 kids, involved at their school and church, etc.) like many of you!
Hi everyone! I'm WhiteCollarWarlock on both sites. I came out of lurking on r/fantasy a couple of months ago, and I thought I'd try my luck here as well. I've actually never been in a book club before! Looking forward to the discussion, and I'll try my best to follow along with the books of the month.
