Hi Julia, welcome. We had the opportunity to visit Nova Scotia on a cruise ship a couple of years ago. What we saw was fantastic. I would like to go back on a ferry or just drive (we live in Buffalo, not far from Ontario), so that we could take our car and explore inland. I'm sure it would be a great experience. I am, of course, an Anne of Green Gables fan, myself being reheaded and was precocious as a child, I identified with her. Ontario is also beautiful!

[Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews]

Hello:

I have been posting, but not sure I wrote something about myself...forgive me if I did.

I live in Pennsylvania and work full-time as a business teacher. My reading is the highlight of my day. :) I also love to cook and bake.

I have a blog with all my reviews and photos of my trip to Scotland last summer.

Nice to meet and talk to everyone.

Stop by my blog if you like.

Hello to everyone and thank you to Rick for the friend request and group invite. This looks like a great group and I'm looking forward to tip toeing through the threads. I've been on Goodreads since 2007 and have been a reader my whole life. I love books. All types of books. I love reading books, reading about books, shopping for books, talking about books, well...you get the point. I also love movies, especially the "oldies but goodies" movies so this group will be quite a treat for me. My husband, three kids and I live in Michigan where the weather is pretty terrible most of the time, but it doesn't tend to get too violent so we put up with it. I don't work, instead I do the hundreds of little things that keep my loved ones clothed, fed and able to go out and function in the world. I also volunteer at the elementary school and the local animal shelter. At all other times, I am reading. I'm also an incurable insomniac, but hey, books can be read any time of the day and that's what dvd's are for.

I'm off to have a look around...

That sounds like work to me.

The weather in Chicago is no great deal this time of year either.

Hi - Thought I'd drop in on this group and see what people are up to.

[Holly]

Hello all, My name is Holly Weiss and I am happy that Rick invited me to join the group. My main love is historical fiction. I am a teacher of singing, author and reviewer of books. I am also a polio survivor and advocate for Eradicate Polio Now.
My book, Crestmont, is set at a bustling summer inn during the 1920s. A giveaway and interview just came out at http://bit.ly/g4GKXx
if you'd like to check it out.

Your group sounds very well-rounded. I look forward to reading with you.

[Holly]

I'd like to invite you to join a Question and Answer group here on Goodreads for Crestmont .
Sorry I forgot to put that in the last post.
The link is http://bit.ly/gcoLCO.
Thank you

[Holly]

Hi, again. I thought I introduced myself, but most not have hit "post". My name is Holly Weiss. I love historical fiction. I am a former professional singer, current voice teacher and author of Crestmont. I enjoy reviewing newly published books. A polio survivor, I am an advocate for Eradicate Polio Now, an international effort by Rotary.

Do we have a group read here and if so, where might I find it? I poked around a bit and didn't see it. Then again, there are so many posts! Thank you.

You can find me at http://www.hollyweiss.com. I look forward to enjoying this group. Thanks, Rick, for the invitation.

[Robin]

Hi Holly, I am new to this group as well. I posted a few postings ago.

Hi, I'm Kay from UK (London). I have fairly catholic tastes and will read pretty much anything.
I have a particular love for fantasy engendered by Tolkien and a fondness for Pratchett and all things Discworld (I want to live there! LOL).
Thanks to Rick for inviting me. I'm looking forward to exploring all the discussions and getting to know everyone.

Hi Kay and Paul. Paul, I'm the same way. Right now I only have 3 or 4, and it feels weird.

[Lillian]

Hi, and thanks for asking me Rick.

I am a tax accountant and author from Australia. My all time favorite author is Hunter S. Thompson but I read almost anything, within reason.

[Diane]

Hi and thanks for asking me to this group I am a nurse in geriatric nursing. I read almost constantly, when not working. Lost interest in TV for the most part, years ago. I love mysteries, but read most genres other than science fiction, and even a little of that.

[Holly]

Hi, everyone:

My name is Cheryl Landmark and I'm the author of a young adult fantasy novel called Wind and Fire .

Aside from writing, I'm also a book fanatic and read them by the truckload. I enjoy many genres, including mystery, suspense, paranormal and fantasy, but mystery and fantasy are by far my favourites.

I'm excited to join this group and learn what other people are reading.

[Cheryl]

Thanks so much, Rick, for inviting me to join your club. I'm excited to be here and learn about what other people are reading and what their thoughts are on the gazillion books that are out there for us book addicts to devour!

[Bill]

Hello, all. I'm a graphic designer, multimedia producer, and occasional writer, living in Pittsburgh, PA with my wife, college-student daughter, sheltie, maltichon, and 5 cats.

I've been a SciFi/Fantasy geek since I was a wee kid. In high school I devoured LOTR, Dune, and Thomas Covenant. In college, it was David Eddings, the Foundation Series, and Piers Anthony. Lately, I've been all about Simmons' Hyperion series, Alastair Reynolds, Steven Erikson's Malazan Books and D.M. Cornish's Half-Continent books.

Recently finished World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, currently reading Factotum and looking forward to The Name of the Wind.

[Bill]

Hi everybody. Excited to be here - especially today. Rick, thank you for the nice invite.

My book, "The Third Miracle" - a nonfiction exploration of highly secretive Catholic miracle investigations - debuts today. The narrative is anchored by the Church's scrutiny of a claimed supernatural healing in Indiana in 2001 - 93 years after a nun said she was cured of terminal cancer on the same ground. The twist: the man at the center of the 2001 case, a convent caretaker, wasn't particularly religious and wasn't so sure he even believed in miracles. Follow the caretaker from Indiana to Rome (where he was dubbed "The Miracle Man") as he searches for inner peace with the surreal events. Hope you enjoy.

I look forward to dropping in on the many conversations here!

Thanks for posting this. I love a good non-fiction. Plus the subject matter interests me very much. Put it in my wish list.

[Bill]

Thanks Holly and Bill. I look forward to sharing more about the book with you.

Crazy week for me (book launches today) so my posts here will be sporadic until I can catch my breath.

In time, I would love to answer any questions you have about the book - and discuss with you some of the colorful mysteries it attempts to dissect.

[Gary]

Welcome everyone. Lots of new additions. I thought nobody read books anymore.

[Nadine]

Greetings, all!

I'm Nadine, an author and a book lover, invited here by Rick. I LOVE reading and writing. I've always been quite a bookworm, I think, but I've become more of a manuscript worm over the past couple of years or so. I discovered Goodreads a few months ago, and it actually rekindled my love for reading!

[Helena]

Thanks for the invite, Rick.

Hi All, I’m an avid reader of just about any genre. I think I may actually have an addiction to books- I start to panic a bit if I’m without one to read before bed. I’ve been known to read various pamphlets, cereal boxes, and instruction manuals when I am deprived of reading material. I look forward to meeting like minded individuals... so I don’t feel so alone (wink).

[Mark]

Hi. My name is Mark, I got an invite from Rick, he's apparently working hard to make this the largest book forum in the history of the world.

Mostly I like to read science fiction and history. These days I'm reading more political stuff. My favorite writer of all time is GK Chesterton.

I've published two books, "A Sane Approach to Database Design" and "No Errors in My Bible, Sorry About Yours". I've also contributed chapters to several textbooks: "Population", "Crime and Criminals", and "Women's Rights". But I'm hoping to branch out more in the future.

Mark- not the largest..but the best- and given the great members we have- I already succeeded!

[Johnny]

Hi Everyone,
First of all I would like to thank Rick for the Invitation into this wonderful group of Authors and readers. I am the only son of Famous Gaelic Irish Author = Ger Kavanagh who rowed around the coast of Ireland in 1975 in a Canoe. He wrot a book about his Journey which he titled Cogarnach ár gCósta(whispering of our shores), he went on to write three more in Gaelic and they became part of the Irish school Curriculum, sadly passed away in 2008 and missed dearly by all family members. Here is a link to a piece from one of his books translated into English.
