[Rebecca]

Hello, my name is Rebecca Rasmussen. I know this is strange, but my favorite comfort read is Gilead by Marilynne Robinson -- it's my kind of church, I guess, and it always restores my faith magically.

[Lisa]

Hi, Rebecca. So glad you found us. No book is a strange comfort read here. As a group, we have very eclectic taste!

[Lisa]

Rebecca, And, the book is already on our shelves, so at least one other Comfort Reads member has it as a comfort read too!

[Rebecca]

I love eclectic taste! Funny, I didn't notice it on the shelf. I have to peruse more carefully...thank you for making me feel so welcome :)

[Lisa]

Rebecca, Definitely take a look at all of our discussion threads and all our books. Not all our books are on all their shelves, yet, but we're working on it. Have fun and participate whenever you feel like doing so.

ETA: To see all our shelved so far books: click the "bookshelf" link near the top right of the page.

[Rebecca]

Thank you, Lisa!

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hi Rebecca, welcome to our cozy, little group. Well, it's not so small anymore but it still feels cozy. Whatever you find comforting is cool with us.

[Rebecca]

Thank you, Lee!

[Linda]

Good Morning Everyone: My name is Linda, I live in Toronto and I am a retired piano teacher. Now I am enjoying a lot more time to read and having a wonderful time with it. already this summer I have read 15 books. I am happy to have found this group and hopefully I can contribute some good reads too. Almost every book that I enjoy is a comfort book, really, but I am not into any kind of extreme violence, love mysteries and stories in general.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Yay! Welcome Linda! I'm from Toronto too and I'm a terrible piano player but I love it! It sounds like you've had a great reading summer so far, I hope the fall continues in the same vein for you. Dive in wherever you feel comfortable.

[Lisa]

Maria, welcome to the group!! I hope you enjoy it here. Oh, and if your favourite books are the Anne of Green Gables books (mine as well), you should join the "Kindred Spirits" group here on Good Reads, it's a group devoted to Lucy Maud Montgomery.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Welcome Maria! I've never read any Malika Oufkir but I'll check it out.

Lee, I think you'd like Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail. It's very grim in places, but so good.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Oh that rings a bell, I think I saw the author on Oprah!

[Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos)]

Hi, Meghana. Welcome to the group.

We have a young adult folder and a young-adult bookshelf, although not all the books that belong on that shelf are there yet. We try to shelve all the books mentioned in the discussion threads. Feed free to start new threads in that or any folder and you can also post in any exisiting thread that interests you.

Hi Meghana! Welcome! I think you will like it here. I like your positive attitude! :D

[Vicki]

Hi, I'm Vicki. I teach English in NJ and when I am not reading books for class, my long tbr keeps me busy otherwise, I like fiction, historical fiction, some mysteries and YA. In my spare time, I like making my own jewelry, spending time with Daisy, my maltese, floral arranging, reading and of course, goodreads. I think as of right now, my favorite comfort read would be Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. Look forward to meeting all of you!

[Lee, Mod Mama]

A warm welcome to Lizz, Meghana and Vicki!

[Lisa]

Hi Vicki, Welcome to the group.

[Brenda]

Hi, I'm Brenda. I have been with Goodreads for awhile and have been following along with the groups comments and thought I should just join right on in. So many people I know from other groups are here. My comfort read is the Harry Potter series. I can read it over and over and still enjoy watching the movies. Especially if I have some hibisicus tea with honey or a nice cup of hot coffee near by.

[[deleted user]]

Welcome to the group, Brenda! Harry Potter with a nice cup of tea just sounds right to me! :)

[Manybooks]

Hi Brenda!! This group is very addictive.

[Brenda]

That's ok, it seems friendly as well which is what I like.

[Lisa]

Hi Brenda, Welcome to the group! Yes, we're very friendly, and we hope that you enjoy it here.

[Maude]

Welcome Brenda, I remember when I read the first Harry Potter and thought it was one of the most imaginative and fun book I had ever read.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hi Brenda, welcome to the group! I guess I need to finish the Harry Potter series because I only read the first four or five and then stopped. Maybe it didn't help that I read them one after the other.

[Lisa]

Lee, I'm shocked! Shocked!!! ;-)

[Brenda]

Yes, but who's counting? :D

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

I'm Kate. I've been on goodreads about a year now and was looking for a new group and found y'all.

For those that like Harry Potter, have you checked out the unofficial fan sequel series that follows Harry's son James to Hogwarts? You can find them free here: http://www.jamespotterseries.com/

James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
James Potter and the Curse of the Gate Keeper
James Potter and the Vault of Destinies

They are very good. The first two are 400 page ebooks. The last is around 500 pages.

[[deleted user]]

Hi Kate! I've seen you around goodreads; welcome to the group!

Thanks for the links. I had heard of this series but I have never given it a try. I like Harry Potter and I like free books. :)

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hey Kate, welcome to Comfort Reads! I'm sure all the Harry Potter fans here will be interested in those links.

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

Thanks Lee. I discovered them awhile ago. They're very good. My son is now on book 3. I've also befriended the author online.
