Yup. All the time. I'm sick of them. Better now, but I do feel as if I've been hit by a truck.

[Lauren]

Hi everyone, I'm Lauren and I'm a bookaholic!
I'm South African by birth but have lived in Israel for the last 25 years.
I'm addicted to reading challenges and romances so I'm hoping to feed my addictions here.

[Lina]

Welcome Lauren!! Glad to have you here :-) Your in good company with those two addictions! What are your favourite sort of challenges?

[Lauren]

Thanks CaroB!
I love any and all challenges but my favorites are ones that you need to find a book to fit a certain category.

I'm doing the Battle of the Bands challenge at RRRC and the Year of the Dragon and Seasons of Love at SOS. I'm also playing Bookshelf Bingo and really enjoying it. I think I need help, lol!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Welcome, Lauren! I'm doing "Year of the Dragon" in SOS, too. I'm behind and keep picking up on book I know I need to read. I saw you were doing Book Shelf Bingo! Neat! (♥Challenges. I think I need help, too!)

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Hi Lauren! Welcome!

[Lina]

I did Bookshelf Bingo last round and was bummed I missed out on this round, it's a load of fun. I'm supposed to be doing Year of the Dragon as well, but haven't gotten very far at all into it.

[Lina]

It's a team challenge over at SOS: Serious Overload of Series. Very fun game!

I wonder if we could do a team game here... hmmm...
*goes off to ponder*

[Lauren]

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

I'm also a little behind in my Year of the Dragon challenge. Hopefully I'll catch up this month - think I'll read .

[Tracie]

Hi! I'm Tracie. I've been a member for a while but decided it is time to come out of lurkdom.

I'm 35, mom of 2, and live in NJ. I read strictly historical romances up until about a year ago and then tried out a few contemporary romances. I also read category romances in between. This next year I want to branch out into other subgenres and try them to see if I'll like them. I'm finding that mixing up the subgenres keeps things interesting for me.

For historicals I like Eloisa James, Julia Quinn, Sarah MacLean, and Jennifer Ashley. I love older Julie Garwood historicals and The Bride is one of my favorite books of all time. For contemporaries I love Julie James and just recently discovered Jill Shalvis. Typically I prefer lighter reads, but occasionally I love a really good angsty book.

[Tracie]

Jenny: Thanks for the welcome. I haven't read any of her books yet, but I do want to read the Pennyroyal Green series soon.

[Lina]

Great to see you join discussions Tracie! (Can I still say Welcome? Or is it too late for that?) I found myself nodding as I was reading your post above. I cut my teeth on Historical Romances, moved into Romantic Suspense, and it's only been in the last five years that I've branched out into more subgenres.
The Bride is one of my all-time favourite comfort reads!! It's such a funny, adorable, feel-good book :-)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I'll risk it and say, "Welcome, Tracie!" Love . I had to buy it again a few years ago because I couldn't find my copy. The girl behind the counter, who must have be 35 years younger than me, said, "Oh! I love that book." Books like that narrow the generation gap.

[Tracie]

Thanks for the welcome :)

I love that book so much and all of her historicals that I tracked her whole backlist down on ebay a few years ago so I'd have them again. I first read them when I was a teenager about 20 years ago. I'm due for a reread of it soon.

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Hi Tracie! Welcome! :)

[Jennifer]

Hi everyone! I just joined the group today, and I've really enjoyed reading through the posts so far. I love that there are so many different sub-genres represented! I myself love all different kinds of books, anything from narrative non-fiction to romance to historical fiction. I just love great story-telling. An author does have to hook me fairly early on, though, or I stop reading. But once I get hooked, I can inhale a book. I read all three Hunger Games books in about two and half days.

My favorite book of all time is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston. I read it for English class in high school (a VERY long time ago) and fell in love with it! Some of my other favorites are To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, Breaking Dawn, and all the Harry Potter books. It's so hard to pick just one.

I've also recently ventured into the world of self-publishing with my first novel, . It's been a wonderful life lesson, and I hope to continue publishing more.

I hope I get to meet and talk with you all, and I can't wait to get started on my challenges. Happy reading!

[Lina]

Welcome to the group Jennifer, glad to have you here!
I've never heard of
Their Eyes Were Watching God but have added it to my list. I'm always on the lookout for good books.

Best of luck with your self-publishing venture. I hope it leads to many great things for you. I find it a fascinating endeavour! Also added your book to my list :-)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Welcome to the group, Jennifer!

[Jennifer]

Thank you, CaroB and Lisa Kay! This is a great group, and I'm looking forward to getting involved.

[Komal]

Hi my name is Komal and I'm from Chicago (more towards the suburbs). I can't choose just one favorite romance novel but my last favorite was , it's more urban fantasy then romance but almost all the books I read have some sort of romance.

P.S. I love that this group is broad enough to except so many different types of romance genres. I love everything from Highlander romances to PRN & UF with romance. It's nice to know that I can discuss all different books here. Can't wait to participate :)
