Hello! My name is Jade and I from Belgium.
I had a bad reading year due to lots of reading slumps and personal issues. Let's hope 2024 will be a better year!

My go-to genres are fantasy, romance, distopian and magical realism. I hope to explore more genres, next year.

Also, I am looking forward to interact with other booklovers and the buddy reads! Happy holidays!

[Mo]

Hi all! I am Mo from St. Louis, Missouri. I found this group while looking for the 2024 challenge. Reading has been one of my passions since I was a young girl... I would be the girl sitting on the floor at the library looking for new Nancy Drew, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Judy Blume books. I love goodreads for the challenges, honest reviews, and the ability to track and remember the books I have read. My favorites are thriller/mystery, historical fiction, and romance. I also read quite a few biographies this year, and it is a genre I am enjoying.
I will set my goal to 80 books for 2024 and look forward to the wonderful places, emotions, and education that reading a new book brings.

[Liz]

Hello! I’m Elizabeth and I live in Indiana. I love to read but it has sadly become something I haven’t made time for in recent years. I’m hoping to increase my reading this year (2024) and discover new authors and genres.
I really enjoy fiction especially thrillers, mysteries, and a bit of paranormal. I do enjoy the occasional memoir and nonfiction as well.

[Haley]

Hello!
I'm Haley in Salt Lake City. I love to read, but I haven't read as much in the past few years. I like to read a variety of genres; lately, I've been enjoying science fiction and memoirs. My Goodreads account is several years old, so I decided to dust it off and found this group. I hope this group and its challenges will help motivate me to read more in 2024.

Hello all! My name is Sunny. I am a reader and an aspiring writer. I used to read a lot when I was a kid and then kind of fell off. So this year I decided to get back into the habit of reading for fun. My goal was 24 books and I've read 30, so I made it! I'm hoping to do the same next year. I'm from the US and I really like high fantasy, cozy fantasy, middle grade and YA books. My secondary goal is to try more sci-fi books. Cheers!

[Charley]

Hi all! My name’s Charley and I’m from the West Midlands in the UK! I love to read fantasy and YA novels mainly as I really do love getting lost in worlds and find it easier and more enjoyable to read books that are set in places far from our own universe! I am a fan of series personally as I really do like longer stories that span multiple novels!

I found this group by searching for reading challenges to help me get back into reading! I used to read a lot more when I was younger and now that I’m nearing my mid-twenties I want to try and get back into the swing of things!

My reading goal for this upcoming year is 12 books, just to ease myself into reading again! I’m hoping that I will read more and am excited to see what worlds I find myself in on my adventure!
