Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Welcome to RLftCI, Komal! I haven't read that one, but I've been thinking about it.


Rachel the Book Harlot Hi Komal! Welcome to the group! :)

Lina | 5563 comments Welcome Komal! I'm a big fan of multiple sub-genres myself, so I can relate. As long as it's well written, and there's some kind of romance at play, I'm keen. Great to have you in the group, look forward to seeing you in some of the discussions or challenges :-)

Idalis Brimos Hi, my name is Idalis and I joined this group a few days ago. I am from California and love to read romance books. My favorite book is Beautiful Disaster which I reccomend highly. I do not have a favorite author though.

Lina | 5563 comments Hi Idalys! Is that the one by Jamie McGuire? I noticed there are a few books with that title, but I saw the Jamie McGuire one was given a great mixed review on the Dear Author blog. It's one I've been thinking about for a while.

I don't know if I have a favourite author either, but I do have a few that I have on an auto-buy list... as soon as anything comes out from them, I'm gonna buy it, lol. Do you have anything like that?


Rachel the Book Harlot Hi Idalis! Welcome to the group. :)

Hi everyone;

My name is Kathryn Le Veque and I'm a Medieval Romance author. I've been writing for about 25 years now and really watching the world of publishing change. Back when I started, the only way to get word out on your books was the traditional way - with a traditional publisher! Things sure have changed.

My books are historically accurate with intricate storylines and fabulous H/H. I hope you'll check me out on Goodreads, and also on my website at www.kathrynleveque.com. I've got 20 books on Amazon (including some freebies right now), so I warmly encourage you to check me out and wish you very happy reading!!

Rachel the Book Harlot Hi Besmala, welcome! I am also a fan of Noam Chomsky's work. :)

It still amazes me how the lines separating the readers from the authors and publishers have seemingly disappeared and there's a lot more scope for interaction between the three. Which is a great move forward in my book *pun intended ;-)*

Laura (lglovett) Hi Everyone, I love reading everything and decided to get a little more active in more than just the two groups that I am already a part of.

I especially love Historical Romance and Paranormal Romance books, but again, I will read just about anything that catches my interest.


message 669: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Thanks! Its always fun to make new friends on Goodreads.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Hello Laura! Check out our newsletter where you can see in one place what we are up to this month. I've linked July's newsletter. The August issue will be "out" sometime next week. Hope to see you around!


message 671: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Thanks for the link to the newsletter. Its awesome that it is posted as a thread.

I am going on vacation on Friday, but I hope to still be around during the five days I will be gone.

*waves* Hi everyone!

My name is Kyra, and I'm hopelessly addicted to romance books of all sub-genres. And I'm definitely challenge-impaired. I absolutely love the idea of them, but have trouble finding ones that both appeal to me and are "open" for participation at the same time. When I saw the name of this group, the description, and the number of members (I find big groups to be too overwhelming), I knew this was a group I had to try. :)

I look forward to getting to know everyone!


message 675: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Welcome, Kyra! I just joined this group, but I too have problems following through with completion of my challenges. I forget about them and then realize months later that none of the books I have read seem to fit into the challenges I entered. I am hoping that I get better at them as I go along. My goal this year was to at least finish three. I have finished one so far.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Hi, Laura! Neat to see you made it here to our little group. **waves** Welcome. ☺


message 677: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Welcome RLftCI, Kyra! I hope you enjoy our challenges. We try to make them easy reasonable but fun.

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Welcome, Laura and Kyra! I hope you both enjoy trying some of our challenges :)

Laura (lglovett) **waves to Lisa Kay** Hi! It seems like you are in every group that I have joined recently, LOL! Glad to see a friend from another group here!


message 680: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Yes, Laura, you are moving about GRs, aren't you?


message 681: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) I am trying to broaden my horizons, so to speak.


message 682: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments You stayed in your little corner of GRs for quite awhile before venturing out, though.


message 683: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Yeah, I did. I got kind of comfortable with our little NBRC group and just stayed there. Then another friend Janfra invited me to another group and then you invited me to another group, and then I just went out searching and found a few more!

I only had three friends when I started on GR and in the last week or two I have grown it to nearly ten, LOL. Its a start.


message 684: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Its pretty sad that for the first 7 months on GR I only had three friends and one group.


message 685: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Ah, Laura, I'd call you selective. ☺ Well, I'm glad you're making more GRs friends. (BTW, I would call NBRC "little." LOL!)


message 686: by Laura (new)

Laura (lglovett) Thats true it is rather large.


message 687: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Hello and Welcome Kyra and Laura!!


message 688: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! :)

@Jenny - I hear you...I'm mostly a lurker in the big groups, too. I watch for good recommends.

@Laura - 3 sounds like a reasonable goal. At this point, I'd be happy to claim I completed 1! LOL

@Lisa Kay - Hahaha! Thanks for the honesty. ;)


Rachel the Book Harlot Welcome to the group, Kyra! :)
