Sue | 205 comments Hi Everyone, I noticed this group because of an update post from a fellow reader friend and thought, why not? I'm not a "named" challenge person, meaning an assigned book is read and discussed. That's why I don't belong to any book clubs, the attraction of that group is huge but I can't get by the "named" book. With that said, I see there are areas where you can be more flexible in this group and over time I'll discover that more fully.

I'm from US, Boston area of the country. So long winter nights are part of my upbringing and books a passion from my early readings of Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys to everything else, I have to many favorites to post. A favored book has me hooked where I can't sleep if I put it down, I've lucked out and had a lot of those. I'm predominately a R/S reader, but love mysteries, chick-lit, historical, classics and a few thrillers. I force myself to have variety and audio lets me have it easily. Audio books is my preferred method of reading books (two things at once attracts me), though I read tons of eBooks as well. Paper is no longer a passion of mine, though I respect others that prefer that medium.

message 1804: by Jonel (new)

Jonel Hey all! I'm Jonel. I'm a sucker for romances of all types. I have a tendency to start series, fall in love with them, yet rarely have time to get back to the later books in the series, because something else catches my eye. I'm hoping that this group will help out with that.

Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse (mcurry1990) Hello, my name is Margaret and I am from Muskoka, Ontario. I love all genres, but have a soft spot for Paranormal Romances. I adore the "Women of the Otherworld" series by Kelley Armstrong, and one of my favourite books is "Remembrance" by Jude Deveraux.

message 1818: by Phoenix (new)

Phoenix (phoenixjohnsonauthor) Hi all!
I'm Aussie Author Phoenix Johnson. I'll admit that I'm not on GR as much as I'd like. However I do try! Haha. I just find the notification system a lot more full on than I'm used to, and the discussion boards etc do scare me a little. A fear I'm working on facing.
Focusing on the paranormal stories, I dabble in romance, erotic romance, horror and thriller/suspense sub-genres. I have about 14 works in progress that I currently juggle in between finishing studying for a BA and home life.
Oh, and we have 4 pets and counting, including a dog, 2 cats and 1 snake (so far, 2 more snakes coming soon!). I'm a bit eccentric, but then aren't most authors? We're all pretty crazy in our own ways ;)

message 1821: by Nicci (new)

Nicci Carrera Hi, I'm Nicci, I joined a bit ago and just finished my second challenge, Shelter Mountain (loved it). I'm really having fun and especially enjoy reading the same book as other readers, sharing thoughts, and discussing.

I'm a romance writer. My debut novel turned out to be a small town contemporary romance. I just placed its sequel with the same publisher, also small town romance. I'm falling in love with that subgenre. I come from a small town originally, so maybe I'm going home in a way. I'm loving the Virgin River series.

Lesleya | 3 comments Hi, I'm Lesley and I'm in California, originally from Washington state. I joined because I am interested in doing some fun challenges and discussing my favorite romances. I love Historical Romance, and especially Regency. If I have to pick a favorite, it's anything by Mary Balogh. I'm trying to branch out into other sub-genres, just finished a fantasy romance, Radiance and I LOVED it. I'm looking forward to being part of this group.

Il was so happy to stumble upon the Virgin River series here on Goodreads. One of the groups I belong to had it as a group read of the month. Now I am slowly working my way through the series.
