New Mods!
Huzzah!! Welcome and thank you for helping keep this group so fun!
Mod
Everyone, you can now start to guess which Madness books were Hank's :D
Woohoo, great choices!I hope you have a great time modding! ^_^
Very excited for them to be on the team!
Woot woot! Welcome to the mod-team, both!
Mod
Just to introduce myself - I’m Sarah. On Discord, I’m Schix. I’ll answer to either. Goodreads tells me I’ve been on the platform since 2010 though I think I wasn’t really active on it til 2015 or so. I want to say I’ve been part of SFFBC since 2017…? (It was 2017- my first group read was Too Like the Lightning, also my favorite group read, don’t get me started talking about it because I won’t shut up).
I read all genres. My specific taste in the Science Fiction Fantasy realm has a tendency to lean into horror and the dark side, as well as more modern reads rather than the classic. I love guessing games and making TBR lists but rarely do I complete them.
Congratulations and thank you for stepping up!

I could have sworn you were a moderator here before...or was it in another group...
My introduction...I think the first thing I did when I joined Goodreads is join this group. I have been somewhat active since 2013. I have been reading sci-fi/fantasy, as most of us, since I was a kid about 100 years ago.
I try to read most of the club books and have reasonable opinions about them, sometimes I succeed.
Hopefully the other mods will prevent me from steering this massive ship over a waterfall but they have their work cut out for them.
Congratulations and a big thank you to all mods, while I usually stay quiet I do enjoy this group!

No, just ever-present probably. lol
congrats!!! I'm still a newbie to the group looking forward to being a part of this,
Mod
And of course this shenanigan...
Mod
my name as part of the mod team has been revealed (and very quickly unearthed!) as part of a special Mystery Mod poll.
I'll confess without hesitation that this group has given a lot, in literary as well as human terms, and I'm enthusiatic to have a chance give back. I hope I can at least aspire to match the level of excellence that we've been shown over the years in the group.
For the lucky few whom I haven't annoyed yet: I'm Italian and my real name is Alessandro. The mod team takes pride in an international roster, and felt it was important to have at least a male member to lower the average IQ and social skill level.
Now let's uncork the prosecco...
Congrats!! We have a resident vampire, the unsettled and of course the neutral party, what will you be?

Welcome to your positions in SciFi@Fantasy!
Hey, that’s awesome! Lovely that you will be joining the amazing team to make it even awesomer!
Ale, are you trying to take over my circadian heretic ways?! *squints eyes suspiciously* XDGood luck Becky and Ale, I hope you have as much fun as mods as I used to! ^_^
Mod
But I am most obliged nonetheless.
Welcome Alistair to the mod job. Always nice to have fresh blood.
Alistair wrote: "I haven't the slightest idea whatever you mean"My mod title was "circadian heretic" (because I don't believe in clocks/time, in a "yours in calendrical heresy" from Ninefox Gambit type of way) and "chronically anachronistic" sounds like a similar mindset :)

cool and welcome to the two new mods
Welcome mods and thank you for stepping up to keep this group so amazing!
Mod
Again, we've had such outstanding mods in the past here, such as this person... ↓
Anna, I was pulling your leg. Of course I'm aware of your (now honorary) mod title! I guess mine is a similar mindset, except on a grander scale. As in "you're from the wrong century" kinda scale. Also, mine isn't really a choice; I just happen to be a steampunk time traveller!
Mod
Yeah, where is Becky? The cake is almost gone!(Ale, I guess you're taking over for Ryan then, pulling my leg :D)
Mod
I should probably switch my title to "professional leg-pulling" or some such.
