Rebecca | 1 comments Hi All

I'm Rebecca, and I love to read pretty much anything. My favorite author is Nick Hornby: I've read all of his books. I used to read a lot of chick lit, but now, I've started reading a lot of YA novels. I also love entertainment biographies - I have a deep admiration for actors and actresses of classic Hollywood. I'm currently studying to be a librarian, so I basically try to read as much as possible.

Hi there. I'm Vicky, just thought I'd give this group a try.. I like all kinds of books really. I'll read everything from children's books to big hefty books about the war. I don't know that I'll always be able to keep up with the group on what they are reading, but when I can I'll try to. Anywho, nice to meet all of you and I look forward to talking with you!

Rianne (riannem) | 3 comments Hi there!

My name is Rianne. I'm from Colorado. My first love is music, but reading comes in a close second. There aren't many genres I won't read but, fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction are my favorite.


message 132: by Lindsay, Moderator (new)

Lindsay (ltg584) | 478 comments Mod
Hi Rianne! Do you play music, or listen? I'm more of a "sing embarrassingly loud in the shower" kind of music lover, myself. :)

Krystyna Faroe (elanclose) | 3 comments Hi: I'm Krystyna, I write, read as much as I can when I have time and have lately found some great books by Indie authors. I read a variety of genres but lately I've been more inclined towards fantasy novels, just because I write them myself.

message 139: by Gayle (new)

Gayle | 9 comments Hello Everyone! Thank you, Tasha for invite! My name is Gayle. I live in a small town just west of Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
I'm a nurse by profession but took very early retirement to be a full-time dog mom. ( Yes I have grown human kids, but they have flown the coop.)
My passions are my four dogs and reading!


message 140: by Lindsay, Moderator (new)

Lindsay (ltg584) | 478 comments Mod
Hi Gayle! I LOVE dogs (and yes, cats too), but my son has asthma and allergies. :( I miss all my babies!!
My husband is also nurse, but we're still (too many!) years from being able to enjoy a little retirement. ;)

And I am a little ridiculously happy to see so many Canadians on here!

Hello Marissa! :)
I have two boys, myself, 4 and 6. My 4 year old falls asleep in a pile of books every night. Sweet enough to make me cry!


message 144: by Marissa (new)

Marissa Yes mine tends to sneak books into his room after I have put him down for the night. It is very cute!! I laugh when I find the pile under the covers.
