I'm April and I'm from Florida. I am new to this site. I love reading (obviously lol). I really don't have a favorite type of book to read. I like pretty much all genres. I'm not big about romance novels or science fiction novels but I'll still read them. I'm excited to get reading and hit that 100 books goal! :)

message 107: by Eileen (new)

Eileen | 47 comments I'm Eileen, I split my time between North Carolina and Maryland. I absolutely LOVE mysteries but I read just about everything! I'm doing the 100 challenge because last year when I tried the 50 challenge, I made my 50 in April.

Daria (dariadeptula) I'm Emily. I'm a teenager and I live in southern Texas. I read every day (and most of the night too), and I'll read just about any genre as long as it's YA.


message 109: by Susana (new)

Susana (susana1) Hi, I'm Susana. This is the first time for me in this type of group and am looking forward to meeting some new people. I am the mother of 2 very energetic boys, so my reading time is in the evenings after they've gone to bed. This means I end up staying up late to read "just a few more pages". I can't get enough of paranormal romance, and have recently become a big fan of urban fantasy. I'll also dabble in some YA, contemporary romance, and thrillers to change it up a bit.

Wow, sounds like you will easily make 100 this year! I have also never read a mystery book, what is your favourite?, I fancy trying some new genres this year but would have no idea whats good or not without advice!

message 117: by Heather (new)

Heather (luvmy4brats) Hi everybody! I'm Heather (also known as luvmy4brats on KindleBoards.com). I love my Kindle because it rekindled my love for reading. I read just about anything (except horror). My personal goal is 120 books this year.

I look forward to meeting all of you.

Oh my, there are so many good cozies! I've just read the Haunted Bookshop series by Alice Kimberly. Even better are the Coffeehouse mysteries by Cleo Coyle. Both are written by husband & wife team Alice Alfonsi & Marc Cerasini. Kate Collins Flowershop,Jessica Beck's Donut Shop,and Elise Hyatt's refinishing mysteries are a few series I've recently finished.

Happy reading!


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | 28 comments Hello everyone! I saw this group and decided I just had to join it. I know I read well over 100 books last year thanks in big part to my Kindle so I thought why not do it again this year.

I love all kinds of genres but lately I seem to be more drawn to historical fiction and paranormal. Although I love mysteries, some light romance and some others as well.

message 131: by Marcy (new)

Marcy | 35 comments I'm Marcy from Nevada. I joined this group as incentive to wade my way through my long and ever-growing TBR list. I'll read almost anything, but my favorite genres are sci-fi and mysteries. I can't say that I actually enjoy them, but I read a lot of politics/current event books for the information.

I just started A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I've heard great things about this series, but perhaps shouldn't have chosen an almost 800 page book for one of my earliest challenge reads! It'll certainly slow me down...

message 137: by Jen (last edited Jan 15, 2011 03:52PM) (new)

Jen Hi guys, I'm Jen from NJ. I'm planning on reading a whole lot more than last year, and at the rate I'm going I'm sure I'll reach 100 in no time. I've no favorite genre...I'll basically read anything & everything I can get my hands on (anything that sounds at least a little interesting). I'm already a part of "1 million pages in a lifetime" challenge/group so I hope being a part of both of these will motivate me a little more. ~Happy reading!

Thank you! I'm only up to about 9,500 pages. I think that's because I joined in October or November of 2010, and you're supposed count from January of the year you joined. So I had to try and remember everything I'd read over the year, and I'm almost positive I missed a bunch. But this year should be a lot easier since I'm keeping track right from the start.


message 139: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahdaviswrites) Hi! I'm Sarah. I'm 24 and I live in Ohio. I read 100 books last year and I'm hoping to read 100+ books this year. I tend to read a lot of YA and historical (both fiction and non-fiction).

Good luck everyone! :-)
