Welcome to RLftCI, Vicki! How are you liking retirement? More reading time, right?

[Vicki]

Yes more time to read but never enough enjoying retirement and getting into challenges. Never been one to post more of a lurker but will try

[Sarah]

Hi everyone
I'm Sarah and I'm from Switzerland and English is not my mother tongue so I hope you forgive me for my language mistakes;)

I am very new to goodreads and this group thing so I hope I get a grip very fast and don't make too many mistakes;) However I am very happy to join this group as well as a few challenges:)

I am an avid romance reader. I like books of Nora Roberts, Mia Sheridan, S.C. Stephens, Linda Kage, Brenna Aubrey, Sylvia Day, Toni Aleo, Catherine Gayle, Jessica Sorensen and many more.

[Halima]

Hello. I am Halima. I'm a student. An avid reader, and a bit partial to the romance genre. I'm into Historical Romance at the moment. Really hard to choose a favourite author or book because, well, there are so many to choose from. I love writing too.

[Jennifer]

Hi all! I'm a clean historical fantasy romance author currently obsessed with Atlantis! My book is Atlantis On the Shores of Forever. Here's an excerpt:

A princess seeking to balance duty and her tempestuous heart...
A wanderer searching for a purpose...
A soldier destined for glory...
A doomed civilization.

The princess of an exiled kingdom, Gwenwhyfar's marriage was decided at birth. Enter Marcus Duilius, a career soldier with an eye for beauty. Although drawn to his fatal charms, she knows this son of a Roman naval hero will never allow a woman to stand in the way of his ambition. With her husband's untimely death, she discovers a freedom she never imagined possible.

Ready to make her own destiny, Gwenwhyfar finds she must put aside her desires once more and reforge ties with the mighty Atlantis. Mysterious ships have arrived from the east, leaving destruction in their wake. The known world is threatened. To complicate matters, her former Norse bodyguard has suddenly returned to claim her for his own.

Can she uphold her duty, save her world, and still find true love?

[Jaybird]

Hi! my name is Jessica (or Jaybird). I am new to the challenge world but I am excited because I think this will help keep me out of reading ruts. I love paranormal romance. My all time favorite currently is Darynda Jones Charley Davidson series.

[Late To]

Hi My name is Fiona from Melbourne Australia. Difficult to say what my favourite romance title is- if I could only take one to a desert island, it would probably be Linda Howard’s Duncan’s Bride. As my Goodreads name suggests, I have only been reading romance for a few years so have quite a lot of catching up to do. My tastes are pretty broad- Steampunk is the only genre I tend to avoid. Current favourite authors include Sarah Mayberry, Kelly Hunter, Molly O’Keefe, Sarina Bowen, Lisa Kleypas, Kristen Ashley.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Welcome to RLftCI, Fiona! I love . I used to read it every year... but I finally bought the audiobook.

I'm trying to remember if I've ever read a Sara Mayberry book or Sarina Bowen; they sound familiar. Love all the others.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Ah, yes. I have several of Mayberry's books 'tagged' as "to-read." I've never read or 'tagged' Bowen; I'll check her out.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Welcome to the group , Fiona!
I love Molly O'keefe and Sarah Mayberry too.(specially since all of her books settings are in Australia )

[Late To]

Thanks Lisa Kay and ShoSho. Happy to be part of the group!

[Carly - Resident Supergirl]

Hey everyone! I'm Carly and I am new to Goodreads as of the middle of last year actively speaking...and lately I have been becoming quite obsessed with reading more romance based novels than anything else though I DO try to break here and there and read others as well but I have found I get through the romance ones the quickest! Ha. I am looking forward to expanding my horizons a bit and any tips as to how I get started here would be appreciated!

Hi,

I'm brand new to both goodreads and the group. Looking forward to trying out some challenges.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

[Gisela, Moderator]

Hi, Annie!

[Ricardo]

Hi I am Ricardo Reyes, I love reading and writing as well. I started reading Romance in the last year. I know it sounds silly, but I loved the Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I also loved the classic romantic tale Persuasion by Jane Austen. My favorite non-romantic books are really two: The Things They Carried by O'Brien and A Place to Stand by Jimmy Baca.

I live in Los Angeles with my two dogs.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Welcome, Ricardo.

[David]

Hello. I'm David. Brand new to the site, and challenges. I've finished reading exactly one (1) romance novel. The others I've tried I ended up discarding due to poor writing technique or awful dialogue.

I'm hoping the group will help me find some books I can actually finish. I'm also hoping to make any friends I can, as I don't know a SOUL.

[Cassandra]

WELCOME TO THE GROUP...ENJOY

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Welcome to RLftCI, David.

Hi Everyone I'm Ash~
I read a lot....a lot. Haha. I average anywhere from 75-150 books a year and LOVE a good romance. :D I usually mix up reading with YA, NA, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and memoirs. Looking for new things to read and fun discussion. :)
