Introduce yourself (share your reddit id)

[Alex]

Hello, all. /u/NoBrakes58 on reddit. Read mostly sci-fi and fantasy with occasional forays. As I type this, I've been reading Brain McClellan's Wrath of Empire and I'm just a bit past halfway.

I work as a technical writer in my day job, so reading isn't always what I want to do when I get off work, but I also get some times at my job when I can pop on an audio book while I work on system maintenance, which accounts for about a third of my recreational reading this year. Unfortunately, my commute got cut in half as a result of company expansion, so I don't get to listen in the car anymore.

[Sean]

I (/u/Jubei-Kibagami) just started using reddit and decided to try book bingo. I’ve got most of my card filled with things to read. Missing ocean and recommendation but I’ll fill them later. Will see how it goes but I’ve got a good start. Already have 6 done.

[Scarletizm]

My reddit username is Scarletizm. I'm from San Diego, CA, USA and I've only started reading fantasy/scifi in the last couple of years so I feel like I have so much catching up to do (I'm currently knocking out a lot of YA Fantasy) . The book that sold me on the genre was The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

I've been on a reading spree this year and it's my first solid year of constant reading since I was in high school, I'm beaming with nostalgia.

Add me as friend if you'd like. I constantly just rant and talk to myself about the books I'm reading on here.

[Maša]

Hello, I'm /u/badMC, and I'm looking to get into books of the month!

[Angela]

My reddit username is u/akayu and I am currently in Boston MA but am from Cleveland OH. I have been a pretty constant reader the past few years but am starting to get into reviewing and chatting on goodreads and the fantasy subreddit. Feel free to friend me if you want to chat about books! I love having people on my feed to get new recommendations :)

[L.R.]

Hello! My reddit username is u/LRBraden. I read (and write) mostly fantasy, soft sci-fi, and YA.

[Sarah]

howdy, you can find me under u/stars_and_stones on reddit and i decided to take the plunge and sign up for this month's discussion of Vita Nostra. honestly i'm more of an audiobook kinda gal so sitting down and burning through a book visually is out of my comfort zone but the book looked so interesting and i love being able to discuss books with others, so here i am.

there's very little in ways of genre that i won't consume, favorites are fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural horror, suspense and mystery. occasionally, when the mood strikes i love me some historical nonfiction. but if the book sounds good i'll probably pick it up and give it a chance.

[C.J.]

Hi there I'm u/steelerengineer on reddit. I'm the author for A Not So Dead Man's Journey and I like to occasionally read adventure fantasy.

[SmadsRoller]

Hello! I just finished the October read (Strange Practice) and was directed to this site and group. Looking forward to some good discussions and sharing some favorite reads.

My reddit info is u/SmadsRoller

[Nicole]

I'm /u/nicolekristiner

I'm new to the reddit community, but really excited to dive head first into this. Super excited to knock out some bingo squares so if anyone has some recommendations I would love to hear them.

[Stuart]

hi. im /u/boris_ignatievich

mostly intend to lurk the fuck out of this group for recommendations, but if theres a book for the monthly reads im into, then sure ill join in!

[Rahil]

Hey everyone, I'm u/bggs318 on reddit.

Long time user of Goodreads and trying to get more involved in discussions on Goodreads and Reddit.

I'm trying to read all kinds of books (except the uber classics which never work for me) and hopefully the monthly reads and recommendations will help with that.

[Beattz]

Howdy! I'm /u/beattgirrl and I'm pumped to try this book club, since I'm also doing the read52 challenge on reddit. I've been an avid reader my whole life really, settling into mostly fantasy after reading Philospher's Stone and Eragon. Although, I do also really enjoy some hardboiled detective stories as well.

[Hannah]

Hi, everyone. Happy to be here. I'm a professional ghostwriter and editor operating under my own business, PurpleInkPen. My YA fantasy novel, Arcamira, is coming out in March 2020 from Cosmic Egg Books. It’s a fantasy-paranormal crossover wherein classic high fantasy species like elves, fairies, and griffins face off paranormal monsters like vampires and werewolves. Some of my all-time favorite authors are Stephen King and Cassandra Clare, and a new favorite is Stuart Turton. If we’re talking poetry, I’m all about Poe. Some tidbits about me: I’m the mother of a wild toddler, I own the sassiest corgi known to man, I married my high school sweetheart, and I identify heavily with Hermione Granger.

[Gracie]

Hi! I am really excited to give this group a try. I just joined reddit. /u/ gracearnes. I love to read am trying to expand my horizons. I can't wait to join in the this upcoming book of the month. I didn't start reading much fantasy until a few years ago.

[LOLtohru]

I'm LOLtohru on Reddit! I don't know how consistently I'll use Goodreads but it seems like such a useful resource for so many people that I wanted to have an account.

[Tej]

Hi, I'm u/heckillwingit over at Reddit. I am trying to be more active on r/Fantasy and Goodreads as I have not been social on these platforms (but have been present on them).

I look forward meeting you personally on Goodreads and r/Fantasy!

[Calum]

I'm u/PassportSituation on Reddit, and look forward to seeing what you're all reading here

[Alex]

Hey everybody! I'm Alex, /u/Fellborn on Reddit and I just recently started going to r/Fantasy quite a bit. I'm currently working toward my goal of reading 20 books this year and am a day away from finishing #5! It feels great to be back into the swing of reading a ton of books and am currently going through the fantastic Mistborn series. Nice to meet you all.

[Jo]

Hi, I'm u/diazeugma on Reddit. My in-person book club is out of commission for now for sadly obvious reasons, so I'm hoping to get more involved with this one. Looking forward to the new bingo card, too.

I'm /u/erikvanmechelen on Reddit, hope to see you there

[JC]

Hi! I'm u/NennerNineNine on Reddit. I've been involved in IRL and online book clubs for a long time, but new to Reddit. I mostly look at what others are reading, give and get recommendations on r/Fantasy. I'm active in the r/SuggestMeABook, r/BookSuggestions, r/Books, r/WhatsThatBook subreddits. Also r/Baking and r/Weezer, but those aren't book related :)

[Eliza]

I am u/ElizaRapsodia I am fairly new to reddit so there are things I do not know how to use.

[Zachary]

Hi! I'm /u/pagevandal
Lately I've been posting more than I have in the past--what--six months? I want to stay active now and post more reviews--if you've seen the post on Nimona, Wyrd Sisters, or Summer Knight, that was me and those are some of the books I'm reading/am interested in. I'm excited to try to be more active and am excited to be a part of the community again!

[Raymond]

Welcome, Phurnix!

[Diana]

Hi, I am u/HeLiBeB. I am new to r/Fantasy and have not been very active yet when it comes to posting or commenting. But I really enjoy reading what everyone else is writing!

[Ginger]

Hello! I'm u/gentlyepigrams and I mostly lurk, and will probably be the same here. I do enjoy reading along, though, and getting recs.

[Jean]

Hi there!

I'm u/_Mandos_The_Doomsman and I'm looking forward to making new friends and knowing new books in the realms of Fantasy reading. I'm also focused in becoming a writer myself, so r/Fantasy is also a place for inspiration.

I intend to join challanges and bookclubs in the subreddit but I'm still getting acquainted.

There was an earlier writer named Quevedo. He wrote: from eleven to noon I read good and bad authors; because there is no book, despicable as it can be, that does not contain something good.

[Gregory]

Hi, I'm /u/gregoryamato on /r/fantasy.

I'm more of a lurker than a poster. Recommendations and meta-analysis of the genre are some of my favorite posts. I gravitate towards books with strong characters and dialog, and away from random "chosen one" and "farmboy with a sword" tropes.

I am also an aspiring fantasy novelist (Norse themed fantasy), Judo blackbelt, and more importantly, a pretty good homebrewer.

[Suzie]

Aw hi friends! I'm u/deathbychai on reddit. I've recently found the subreddit (Idk why I literally only used reddit for r/aww for like a decade but I'm finally branching out!) so I've been sporadically commenting on there. :) Excited to make new goodreads friends!

[Dawn]

Hi all! I'm u/DawnkyKawngJR. I'm an SFF audiobook addict and proud of it! Audiobooks are books - @ me if you wanna fight about it. In all seriousness, though, long live literature. ^^°°^^

[Sandy]

u/beardedbits, checking in.

Been a fantasy fan for as long as I can remember. I started on the Fighting Fantasy books before I could truly read them. Had a spell where I didn't read at all, but I found a hostel and bought Tad Williams' The War of the Flowers, and I was hooked all over again.

Last year I read 110 books. I read a real variety, and 50/50 male/female, but I got so engrossed in the numbers that I was foregoing some of the books that I really wanted to read. This year I chose to read only bigger books, but seem to have got carried away with that, too. Oops!

[Nicolás]

Hi, I'm Nico, my reddit id is u/KhalNico. Been reading the sub a lot ever since I discovered it three months ago, though only commenting ocasionally and I don't think I have ever posted yet. I've always loved Fantasy, but finding the time to read has been hard, so I still haven't read many of the great series out there. Currently finishing LOTR and planning to move on to The Wheel of Time.

[Rainah]

Hi there! My name is Rainah (u/rjkrm on reddit!) I’m a big big biiiiig fan of reading and I love my fantasy. I also like fiction and crime :)

I’m a late bloomer to fantasy so I’m slowly going back and reading all of the classics that I missed out on in my younger years. (I’m making myself sound really old but I’m only 25 haha). Feel free to add me as a friend, I wish I had more fantasy readers on my homepage so I can see what everyone’s reading.

Thanks! :)

[Becca]

Hi everyone! I'm Becca and I also go by /u/BeccaConsumesBooks on reddit because it's my book account!

I'm a huge consumer of both adult and YA SSF and I'm a library frequent flyer. My favorite book tend get away from the monarchy/generically historical European setting and branch out into newer and weirder territory! If you'd like to add me as a friend, go for it; not too many of my current friends read a lot of adult fantasy, so it would be great to balance things out a bit.

[Raúl]

Hi,
I am Raúl, my reddit user is u/raulcd. I love reading and love fantasy so here I am. I also read fiction and other types of literature. I just love learning new things. I discovered audiobooks not long ago and I use them on my hikes or when I am around home doing something that doesn't require much concentration, cooking, cleaning.
I hope everyone is safe and reading and remember to wash your hands.
I am from Spain, feel free to add me as a friend.
Thanks,

[Alexa]

Hi! I'm Alexa, and I'm u/dianora on Reddit (named after one of the characters in Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay, a fantasy book I really loved). Like everyone else here, I love reading fantasy! I also love reading sci-fi, but I'm not really picky with genres. Currently reading LOTR, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Frankenstein, and several other books I started but am only able to finish now because we're on quarantine. Hope everyone is keeping safe!

[H.A.]

Hi, everyone!

I'm u/Bibliogoblin.

My favorite genres are fantasy, historical fiction, biographies, and literary-style fiction. I have written one book, a fantasy.

I have recently become active on Goodreads and am finding it to be the social media site where I feel the most at home. I suppose that's because books. And readers. I love meeting folks who read.

I'm having a blast writing reviews (just a couple so far, but it is fun.) I'm starting with reviewing work by famous authors. It doesn't help the authors any, but does give me some practice and I'm learning tons about myself.

Feel free to add me as your friend--the more the merrier! I love networking.

[Molly]

Hi, I'm /u/mollyec. On reddit and r/fantasy I mostly lurk and upvote and hang out on drama subs like AITA, but I love reading and reviewing books and recently started a book blog, The Library Cryptid. Although I probably won't participate in the book club every month, I'm looking forward to it!

[Jen]

Hi, I'm /u/sahndie. I've been a longtime reddit lurker, occasional commenter, but I'm trying something a little different here! I'm a lifelong SFF fan and am willing to try a variety of styles and subgenres. I just found out about the Bingo card last month and am having fun!

[Ceri]

Hey, I'm /u/adventuresinplot. I'm a sometimes commenter, mostly lurker on reddit and r/fantasy. I'm a big fan on fantasy bingo and have been doing it for a few years and figure I should give the book club ago!

[Utopicdrow]

Hi I'm /u/utopicdrow. Been reading fantasy awhile, only been semi-active on reddit and goodreads since recently. I'm a fan of well written litRPGs and progression fantasy. Feel free to add me as your friend! I try to be very fair with my reviews/ratings.

[Veenaa]

Hi everyone! don't have a reddit id but I do love reading fantasy novels. currently reading the Raven's shadow trilogy. down to the last book. hoping to get some good recommendations from this lot! have a good one all!

[Pete]

Hi all, I'm u/ripetedraper. I haven't really used reddit much and I'm still trying to figure out how. I mainly read low fantasy and grimdark. I've been reading Joe Abercrombie books for a while and recently got into Scott Lynch

[Dan]

Hey everyone, I'm u/thebishop8. I've mildly lurked r/fantasy for a while, but now I'm interested in joining in some of the book clubs.

[Rai]

Hi folks, I've followed r/Fantasy for a while but I'm not on Reddit too much - I am u/raix-corvus - and only just spotted the link to this group in the sidebar today. I'm a long-time fantasy reader and this year I'm flying through books like never before so I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations and readalongs!

[Jason]

Hello, /u/claw_of_captain here.

Total lurker.
I’ve been thinking of joining a book club with discussion for a while. I can’t believe I missed doing The Black Company, it’s one of my favorite books.
