[Zakiya]

Understandable! Elyssa and I each have our own groups as well. Thanks for joining :)

[Kristen]

Hello, I'm Kristen. I am 26 and from Michigan. I read all the time and I write too. Someday I hope to publish Young Adult books. I like fake eyelashes, crafting, sharks, rockabilly music, zombie movies, and Lady Gaga.

[[deleted user]]

We love bookaholics here!

Welcome, jump in top some discussions or create a tab and so off your list already for this year:)

[Adrienne]

Hi, I'm Adrienne Isaacs and I am originally from TN, but I now live in NC. I am overly obsessed with reading and my parents say I should get out more as opposed to having my nose in a book all day. I am already very addicted to Goodreads and my TBR list has massively grown, although I don't always keep up with it here, I've got a list at home that is very daunting. I also love to go to theatre plays, my all-time favorite is a tie between Mamma Mia and Les Miserables. I love 80's music, and I just found out that I enjoy some manga too.My favorite genre is the classics, but I have found a few modern authors that I love as well, including Isabel Allende and Walter Moers.

[[deleted user]]

Welcome Adrienne, I know you from somewhere, Ha Ha, glad you are joining another of my groups:)

We love have your diverse reading genres here!

[Adrienne]

Hello Elyssa! I saw the link you posted in For the Love of Reading and I decided to check it out! I like this reading challenge because it doesn't have a stressful time limit and I get to sit back and enjoy reading at my slow pace.

[[deleted user]]

That is one of the reasons why I thought this group would be a great idea. It is all at your own pace with no stress. Hopefully, this group will also come with tons of encouragement! :)

[Lindsay]

Hello everyone! I was invited by Ginny and decided to join because this was my own personal goal in life anyways! Ok, a little about myself, my name is Lindsay. I live in eastern NC. I LOVE reading and I LOVE to listen to country and rock. Currently, I'm obsessed with Skillet. <3 I have no clue what I want to do when I grow up. I'm a sophomore in HS. Um, I love photography. I love Hockey. Go penguins!

Okay, that's enough I think lol.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks for listening to Ginny and joining :)

Thanks Ginny for advertising my group :)

[[deleted user]]

Always Lyss, you don't need to thank me, you know that :)

[Dannie]

Hello,

My name is Dannie, and I have already read nearly 750,000 pages (in a book), even though I am only 16. I am truly interested in learning more about books that I can't normally find. (I live in a small town and my book choices are limited.) If anyone has any suggestions about good romance, vampire, historical fiction, or military books, please let me know! :)

[Amanda]

Hi, I'm Amanda. I already started a topic here, but haven't had the time to introduce myself yet.
I'm eightteen years old and addicted to reading, obviously. The one million pages are, just like the X amount of books a year clubs, a great way to stimulate me to keep reading! ^^

[Zakiya]

Hello to all our new members! :)

[Harold]

Hi - I'm looking forward to participating in this forum. My tastes are pretty eclectic..

[Zakiya]

Hello Harold! Thank you for joining; enjoy the group! Sounds good (about your tastes)!

[Jen]

Hi, I'm Jen. :D Z invited me and I'm excited to see how many pages I actually read.

BTW - Is there an easy way to calculate pages read based on our Books Read list? Or do I need to go through all the books separately and find the page numbers and then add them up?

[Lauren]

Hi everyone! I'm Lola, im 14 and I'm really excited about this! I write poetry and I'm currently writing a novel, but I'm kinda stuck. Anywho, as long as I read the book before January, they count, right? I hope so.
Wish me luck!

[Zakiya]

Lola: As long as you've read the book this year. That means from January to present day. Thanks for joining. Good luck!

Jen: If you go to your bookshelf and look at the bottom left, there is the word "stats." Click on that. Although if you've reread any this year, it won't count those. :) Thanks for joining

[[deleted user]]

Welcome to everyone new. I'm glad you found this group (invite others if you wish), that you are looking forward to page counting and some encourgement from others! I also hope that you find new books for your TBR list with our Highly Recommend topic! Add to it if we are missing bookings, which I know we are :) have fun here!

Bookshelf? I thought My Profile...

[Zakiya]

Well I looked at mine through my bookshelf. It's on your profile as well, but I didn't discover that until after I got back on a few minutes ago from looking at someone else's.

[Zakiya]

Congrats Katie! Thanks for joining; enjoy! :)

[Robyn]

Hi Everyone - glad to be here - don't know how many pages I've read this year, but I'll check. This is an interesting approach to reading - maybe it will help me tackle a longer book I've been putting off reading!!

Robyn

[Zakiya]

Thanks for joining Robyn, and I'm sure you can definitely tackle that longer book. With all the great ones out there today, I'm sure you'll love it as well! Enjoy our group,

Zakk :)
