Introduce Yourself and Make Friends!

[Rachael]

Hi I'm Rachael
I love reading, watching anime and playing games. My favourite manga/anime is One Piece. I'm up to date with One Piece. My favourite game is Overwatch. I also like games like Terarria, Stardew Valley and Minecraft

[Heather]

Hello all! My name is Heather, but I go by Mynx on social media. I'm 38 years young and a kid at heart. Other than games, I'm obsessed with coffee, reading books (mostly fantasy and romance with a splash of science fiction), anything purple, squishmallows, the night sky and anything to do with space, pop punk/emo/rock music, and dragons. I was always a PC gamer until I bought my Switch, now I play both interchangeably. I've played ALOT of different games, but I love things that let me be creative the best. I'm a financial database and reports developer and also a mom to a teenager who keeps me on my toes. I'm a new mod here and always a message away if anyone needs anything! :)

[Jonathan]

Hi! I'm JT. I mostly enjoy fantasy, but I'm presently reading Spinning Silver due to a recommendation.

Also, I write. I mostly write fantasy, but I'm trying my hand at a few different genres as well as various POVs. I've written one novel, and I'm working a few others, the main one being a fantasy romance called Star Fire.

Gaming wise, I enjoy RPGs. I'm presently playing Last Epoch. The most influential game I've played is probably Final Fantasy X. That game was all 10s! 😁

[Alyssa]

Hey there! My name is Alyssa :)
My main hobbies are rock climbing, gaming, and reading. I enjoy RPG, horror, and survival games. Whether I’m lost in the pages of a fantasy novel or immersed in a gaming world, I'm always on the lookout for new adventures and experiences. It's also the reason why I rock climb :)

[Bee-Bow]

Hello! I'm Bee!
You can call me Bee, Bow, or Mittens! My favorite things to do are reading, writing, drawing, volleyball, and gaming! I watch and am also a creator on youtube! And normally can be found in the corner at family gatherings with my nose in a book. Most would call me 'different' or 'weird' based on how I act, but honestly I imbrace that difference!

[MyBees]

Hi! I'm E*** and I'm addicted to buying blind date books (it's the only time I buy physical books). My reading preference is ebooks on kindle, and audiobooks. I also love gaming, I sporadically play Cyberpunk on PS5, but my reading obsession has gotten in the way of that. My favorite games of all time are Red Dead 2, Fallout New Vegas, and BotW. Other hobbies are cats, junk journaling, and hiking to get away from the metropolis I both love to live in and love to escape from. Favorite reading genre used to be horror, but as of late, all I want to read is Romantasy (and smut haha). I don't know what caused the shift, all I know is that fantasy romance is so comforting.

[Claire]

My favourite series (books) is Shatter me or All That's Left In The World. I listen to all sorts of music but love kpop, rock and Classic the most. On top I love The Sims, Sun Haven, Stardew Valley, A Date With Death, the Obey Me games, Baldur's Gate (3) and Until Dawn. Oh and Sweet Amoris. I am open to questions!^^

For video games I love Baldur's Gate 3, Skyrim, anything Nintendo, and I'm very into Fortnite right now (even if I'm not very good) ! :)

[Rainy]

Hi everyone I'm Rainy my pronouns are Rainy I'm 33 i have a 1yr old and a soon to be 4yr old so i don't get a lot of downtime to read or play games but i enjoy both. I mostly read nonfiction autobiography biography, historical, historical fiction, i like some fantasy, some thriller lgbtqia+ romance but I'm pretty picky and have ridiculous standards for books in things that aren't nonfiction. When it comes to videogames when i do get to play orts mostly mobile or xbox one. I stream on twitch. I been playing Naraka Bladepoint, Mobile Legends, PokemonGo n various other pokemon games, Fortnight as of 3 weeks ago, Hearthstone, Assassin's Creed games. I like some fighting games. Thanks so much for inviting me to the group <3

[Chian.EXE]

Hello, I am Chianna (Shy-Ann)~~ I am just a reader who likes to play video games and thought this would be a great group to join. It's my first time joining a group on GoodRead so I am still new to how it works. I like to play all genres of video games and my current plays are Baldur's Gate 3, Silent Hill Short Message, and Cafeteria Nipponica. As for books I am open to most genres, but I read a lot of manga, fantasy, romance, and horror. I just got back into reading novels thanks to working at a library, but I consider myself a veteran manga reader. I also love TTRPG, anime, and most music genres as well. Nice to meet you all!!

[Aurora ☽]

Hi everyone! I'm Aurora.

I'm 26, I'm French although I currently live in Belgium with my girlfriend and my kitten. When I'm not reading (or working, sigh) I play Stardew Valley, I cuddle with my cat, I watch Everest documentaries or get brunch. I love travelling, hiking and swimming. I drink tea all day.

I'm a Slytherin but I probably could have been sorted into Ravenclaw if I insisted (I'm an INTJ lol).

I mostly read romantasy and draco + hermione fanfiction. In fact, if you're into that too, I've just created a group called Dramione Addicts because I realised there was none, which I thought was odd seeing how many fanfics are on GR! I'd like to find friends who also enjoy reading dramione and with whom to share recommendations and discuss our reads.

[Dominik]

Hello! I am from Poland. I like narrative-rich games and interactive fiction.

[Alexis]

Hellooooo! I'm Alexis - I love bouncing between reading and gaming. I mostly play RPGs. Lately I've been hooked on Baldur's Gate 3 (my favorite book series is the Legen of Drizzt masterpieces) and Planet Zoo now that it's finally on console. I want to have a PC someday but just don't have the space for one currently. I play on switch and ps5 so if anyone wants to add me just shoot me a message! :)

I love reading fantasy or romantasy and have a hard time reading anything without magic or supernatural beings. I love watching anime and just finished Bungo Stray Dogs and Frieren. Now I'm on a reading kick and trying to finish the Blood & Ash series!

Add me here and let's talk games and books! ;3;

[Shae]

Hi I'm Shae - I've been playing a little too much Overwatch and now I'm eyeing off some new Final Fantasy. Or maybe hold out for the new Destiny stuff?

Anyway, as you can see by my shelf, I'm a little all over the place, but love dragons, magic and sci-fi.

I'm getting more into Australian authors now too.

Good to meet you all :D

[Kate]

Hiii. I'm Kate. I read a LOT of fantasy and romantasy, but also enjoy crime/thrillers/horror. My favorite author is JRR Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings will forever be my favorite series.

I'm a nurse, so coming home to relax with a good book or to turn on my Nintendo Switch helps me wind down. I have been and always will be obsessed with Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda. Tears of the Kingdom is my current cozy game obsession.

Feel free to add me if you have some similar interests. However, you might want to be 18+ to send me a request. Some of the books I read have quite a bit of adult content in them. Excited to see what everyone is reading and which games you all are playing!

Happy belated Nurse's Week!

I'm Cammy, I have worked in healthcare for the past 7 years. I am disabled, autistic, queer and a lover of board games and video games. I have a special interest in researching cozy games in particular. My current favorite games are Disney Dreamlight Valley, Disney Magical World 2, Calico, Palia, Grow: Song of the Evertree and Alchemy Story. The most recent book I read was a volume in the manga series She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat. Before that, the most recent books I read were the Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and House on the Cerulean Sea, both of which I love. I really enjoy fantasy books that have a good mix of depth and vulnerability with lightheartedness and humor.

I love everything Star Wars and have been obsessed with it since I was a kid. I love video games, especially Stardew Valley (no 1.6 spoilers please I play on switch) and less cozy games like God of War.

[Tiffany ✨️ Bergamot Book Reviews]

Hi! I'm Tiffany, my fave games are classic nostalgia with the whole Final Fantasy and Zelda franchises. I'm also a sucker for everything Harvest Moon, and all of the games it's inspired. I also have a minor obsession with almost every jrpg I get my grubby hands on, as well as Diablo, because who doesn't love a mass hoarde of death multiplayer game!

I read pretty much anything, and usually choose my next book based on mood, reccos, or what comes up as an ARC option and looks cool.

Feel free to add me if you're into the same!

[heather]

I like to keep track of what I am watching, what to watch in the future and what episodes I am on. I like cosplaying, writing fanfiction and just being creative. I LOVE music. I have playlists with thousands of songs on it.

Hi, I'm Nova. I'm 44, I have a 10yo son, two dogs, and a million plants. I'm a writer (cozy mystery and soon cozy fantasy & litRPG) but I'm also a huge reader. My favorites to read are sci-fi (especially cyberpunk), litRPG, fantasy, mystery. And I've been gaming my whole life--fell in love when my family got the very first Sega. I love it all, console games, computer (Stardew Valley, RPGs, Roblox, Valheim), board games (Frosthaven, Dune, Terraforming Mars). Thanks for having me, hoping to find some reader friends and new game/book recs!
