i'm pretty good with any book, but i'm not really interested in books made in the 1800s or anything like that... i'm more of a supernatural girl! gimme a paranormal romance or urban fantasy book and watch me go! (or not cos i guess it would get rather boring)

Welcome to the family!!! :)
I just started this month myself but it is incredibly fun. You should really try a few of the challenges if you get the chance. Not only can you get new ideas for books to buy. You can also cut down some of those books laying around the house.
It's pretty fun and highly recommended :)

[is mee... kissa]

[Gayle]

[Lily]

Hi y'all! My name is Lily and I like historical romances and some fantasy and science fiction. Also want to read more children's books.

[Rebecca]

welcome Lily

[Lily]

Waves to Rebecca!

[Ann]

Hi Lily! I love historical romance. I'm getting more into the fantasy and science fiction, but it is kind of hit and miss if I will like a book in that genre though. What types of chilren's books are you hoping to read?

[AnnSecret]

Hi everyone, I'm new here.

Technically, I read all kinds of books but I tend to go for the bestsellers or award-winning books. Oh and romance of course -- smut ;)

I also tend to be attracted to books with nice covers -- don't judge a book by its cover, I know.

Anyway nice to meet you all. Hope I will enjoy my time here :)

Happy to have you join us. We read a lot of romance books, but we also try other genres, so I'm sure you'll get plenty of ideas. : )

[[deleted user]]

Hiya everybody,

Someone gave me the link for this group because apparently this is a fun place to make friends. I only have one! And am not even sure what to do with her! (oops)

I read any romance novel type except paranormal. Which might not be very good since I saw that seemingly everyone's favorite genre is just that.

I like books where the hero falls in love with the heroine first. And I like books where the heroine has a violent streak to her, (e.g. she can kick major ass)

I really like reviewing and commenting and since this is my first social networking site, I'm looking for places to do so. This group sounds potentially active. So glad I found you guys!

Well, we like romance books and reading and talking about them. So feel free to jump into any discussions or start one when you feel like it.

If you have any questions, just ask. : )

[Karen]

Thank you for your warm welcome and calling me a "newbie" and not an FNG that we often refered to the new people at work. I look forward to the challenge...just a bit intimidated as I am not a book a day reader. I love reading just at my pace.

Happy New Year!

[Dee]

well, we can call you the FNG if you want!! lol! I love that term...use it on my new guys all the time - I have 2 right now that are making me want to pull out my hair

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I haven't heard this abbrev/term... I'm guessing what the FN stands for, but what is the G?? Or should I just live in ignorance??

[Karen]

Delicious Dee thanks for making me laugh...gotta love them...we were all new once...keep using it...they will get it one day. Jane...the F stands for something inappropriate but the rest goes as "New Guy"...I will behave here.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Ahha! Thanks Karen. :)

[Tina on the Hill]

Hey Ya'll!
As a newbie, I just want to say "Hello"! I love reading and have signed up for 2 of the challenges offered here!

Hi I'm Katrina, I'm new here and there's so much challenges going one and it's so exciting! :)

Hey all! I am super excited to have stumbled on to this website. I have been an avid reader my whole life, until -dun dun dun- college hit. Now that I am constantly being forced to read, reading for fun has lost all meaning for me. I'm hoping this group will get me excited about books again! I don't know how much I can participate during semesters, but I hope this becomes my new summer project!

[Michelle]

Hi Katrina, I am only here a couple of months.Yes it is exciting to have found this site and I am sure you'll love it as much as i do.Be warned though as you will find yourself getting addicted to being here!lol!Look around and choose a challenge or two depending on how much you read.The best part is no pressure,just alot of fun with alot of people!
