[Shelly]

Hi, my name is Shelly and I found this site through Facebook. I have always enjoyed reading but lately I can't seem to find anyhting to hold my interest. I am currently reading The Year of Pleasures, by Elizabeth Berg.
I am hoping to meet other friendly book lovers here, which it seems from reading the posts here, I will.
This seems like a nice group to join.
Thanks!!

Welcome Shelly! This is a great group, and I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to getting to know you.

[Chrissie]

Hi Shelly, with GR you will have no problem finding good books to read. Instead we all talk about the problem of having too many books we want to read! We talk of our Mt. TBR - our mountain of books "to-be-read". We are all book adicts! Nice to hae you here.

[Lisa]

Welcome to the group, Shelly. We're glad you found us.

I'm curious: How did you find us via facebook?

Have fun perusing the discussion threads, and jump in when you want. Also, check out our polls and vote if you'd like; they're just for fun. ETA: And feel free to check out our bookshelves.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Welcome Shelley, and as Chrissie said above, you will soon be floundering under piles of good books to read!

[Shelly]

Thanks for the warm welcome! I was searching FB for "book clubs" and found the Good Reads fan page!

Shelly, Thanks for that information. We're glad you found Goodreads (an amazing site for book lovers) and especially this group.

[Ann]

Hello!
My sister recommended this group to me and I'm quite anxious to become acquainted with it! :)

Hi Ann,

Have I seen you on the Jane Austen group? Welcome! You'll have fun here on Comfort Reads -- I do. :)

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hi Ann, welcome to the group!

[Lisa]

Hi Anne, Welcome. I'm glad to see you here. We have friends in common so I've seen you on Goodreads quite a bit. We're happy that you've found us and hope you enjoy the group.

[Ann]

Thanks you two! :) I'm quite pleased to be here!

And yes, I am a part of the Jane Austen group as well! :D Though, I haven't posted much there lately... I got back logged on reading reviews for a while and when I tried to fix that I got back logged in my group posts! lol! But, I'm getting caught up now, so I thought it safe to go ahead and join another group :) Looks like this will be a fun one! Thanks for making such a neat group available :)

[Ann]

Oh! Thanks you THREE, haha! Lisa, you must have posted while I was typing. But thanks for the welcome, Lisa :) I was very glad to see you were a part of the group. I feel at home already ;->

Check out the general threads: "just to chat" in particular. When you don't have time for book discussions you can always just pop in to say hello. You never know what Christine will come up with! xp

[Ann]

:-D Cool! Thanks for the tip, Jeannette!!!

[Lee, Mod Mama]

And don't forget to check the Comfort Snacks thread. It's pretty interesting to say the least!

I'm caught up with groups but so backlogged reading reviews! And, really behind in reading books.

Ann, I see you found the polls too - great! Yes, we can keep you busy in here too. ;-) But, it's fine to participate at whatever level you have time/interest for.

[Lisa]

Hello Barb. Welcome! Do you have any particular favorite Nora Roberts books? If so, feel free to post them in the appropriate thread.

We hope you have fun here. Check out the threads, bookshelves, and polls.

Welcome Barb! I have a four year old daughter and I live in Ontario too! I look forward to chatting with you and I hope you have fun discussing books and other things with this great group of people.

[Sheila]

Hi Everyone. My name is Sheila and I live in Illinois on the Mississippi River. I am 58, married, mom of 2 , grandma of 2. I very recently retired after 37 years as a respiratory therapist. I am very fortunate that I live only about 2 blocks from our new million $$ library. I have a difficult time reading regular or paperback print so usually order everything either in LP or audio. Our library is in a network with a whole bunch of other libraries so I can usually get what I need delivered to my local libary. I LOVE my library.

I am currently reading 5 books. (My hubby says I am the Queen of Multitasking. I just discovered goodreads this week and have been busy putting in my book list. (I am only up to the C's). Anyway I look forward to meeting you folks and sharing as well.

[Lisa]

Welcome, Sheila. I'm really glad you decided to join this group. I hope you enjoy it and we're looking forward to getting to know you. When you have time take a look around at the discussion threads, the polls, and the bookshelves.

When you post your favorite comfort reads, feel free to say if it was an audio book. We have an audio-books shelf so those books can be added to that shelf, in addition to any other shelves that fit them.

Oh Shelia, I can tell you are going to love Goodreads! It's a fantastic place to catalogue your reads and find new ones. Welcome to our group!

Hi Shelia! I just joined this group a few days ago, and I'm already loving it! Hope you enjoy it just as much :)

hehe - okay, thanks, Lee ;>"

But be warned, don't be drinking or snacking when you read comfort snacks. :)

[[deleted user]]

Especially chopped nuts. :)

[Ann]

Oh my.... what have I gotten myself into? ;->

And you haven't even posted on Comfort Snacks, yet. :)

[Fran]

Hi, my comfort read is Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I read it last year for the 1st time and fell in love with the Story. I was hooked after reading the 1st paragraph. "It was a quiet morning,the town covered over with darkness and at ease in bed. Summer gathered in the weather,the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow. Your had only to rise,lean from your window, and know that this indeed was the firs real time of freedom and living, this was the first morning of summer."

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Oh my goodness, if only it were summer now Fran! I have a copy of Dandelion Wine here on a bookshelf asking to be read along with dozens of brothers and sisters. Welcome to the group!

[Lisa]

Welcome, Fran. I'll have to check out that book!

ETA: Of course. It's already on my to-read shelf, but it wasn't yet on my speculative-fiction shelf. I think it made it to my to-read shelf, and fiction and novels shelf before I created a speculative-fiction shelf. Guess I might bump it up. Thanks, Fran.

[Diane]

Hello to Shelly, Barbara, Sheila, Ann and Fran.
Shelly, your days of not finding books to hold your interest are over! I have read so many wonderful books that I otherwise would not have if it weren't for goodreads. Great site and this is a great group.

[Figment]

Hi Everyone. My name is Sarah. I'm a constant reader... which really doesn't help with my insomnia, but at least gives me something to do on long nights. :) I look forward to getting to know you all and goodreads. I also look forward to finding new and interesting things to read.

[Lisa]

Welcome to the group Sarah. We're probably not going to help with your insomnia either, but hopefully we'll be fun. Feel free to check out the discussion threads, polls, and bookshelves, and participate in any/all as the mood strikes.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hi Sarah and welcome to the group. We hope you find lots to keep you entertained with during your long wakeful nights. We are a fun and friendly group to hang out with.

[Diane]

Hi Sarah! Welcome! You'll have no trouble finding interesting thing to read, that's for sure : )

[Sheila]

Hi Sarah, I also have issues with insomnia but find audio books a good option. Welcome to Goodreads.

[Figment]

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I know I will like it here.:)

[Fran]

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I am really excited about this group. I can't wait to check out some of your favorite books.

[Fran]

Hi Diane, thanks for the welcome. I noticed you have the Art of Racing in the Rain as one of your favorites. I loved that story. I have 2 Choc. Labs and always wonder what they are thinking. I fell in love with Enzo. He was such a loyal family member. What a beautiful ending.

[Lindsey]

Hi everyone!
My name is Lindsey. I'm in my mid-twenties, and I work as a web developer.
Lisa so kindly invited me to join this group when it first started, and I haven't said anything yet!
I've been reading some of the daily digests from this group in my email for a while now, so I figured I should say pop in and say hi. You all seem like such a wonderful group, and I've really been enjoying getting some new book ideas.
I like to read pretty much anything, fiction or nonfiction. I seem to really lean toward fantasy in recent years.
Anyhow, I don't know how much time I'll have to fully participate here at the moment, but I thought it was only fair for me to actually say something since I've been lurking for so long :)

[Fran]

Hi Lisa, I am new also and I agree this is a really nice group to be in. I have already picked up on a few books I will have to put into my to read list.

Happy reading

[Lisa]

Hi Lindsey, Glad you joined and glad you introduced yourself. You're always welcome to lurk, and feel free to vote in polls or post in threads if you find the time and wish to do so. Thanks for saying hi.

[Lee, Mod Mama]

Hi Lindsey, I'm glad you decided to say hello! I'm also happy to hear you've gotten some good suggestions. Pop in whenever you feel like it!
