Roll Call!
Or was it confusticate ...? Oh bother.
The point got across either way. And I'm quite fond of befusticate.
Hi-I am Maggie and I am a geek!I could rant all day about that review (how can this woman claim to be a journalist), but I am making myself think of other things
Either forgot, or didn't know this was here. Woohoo! I'm @Marilyth on Twitter & you know me as Kari on FB. So, here now logging books and such. :)
So excited to see this link on Twitter today and read with everyone! I'm Jillian, @jtotheill on Twitter. Big damn reader, domestigeek, aspiring writer.
Anna here - and so excited that the first book will be the Hobbit. I have read it many times and have been telling myself it was time for a re-read. Thanks for the nudge.

Hi everyone. I'm Kelly and I am a huge sci/fi fantasy geek - TV, movies and especially books!I had been looking for a geeky girl book club to join here in Houston but had no luck, so I'm very happy to find this one online. I'm @krussohzg on twitter.
Is someone going to create a twitter list so we can follow everyone on here? I can help set one up if you think it's helpful.

Nice to see you here Derik!
Hey! I'm @prenden2 on "The Twitter," but, unless you're into random warblings on the state of international golf, it's probably best to disregard this sentence.Depending on your point of view, as a male I'm either an unwelcome interloper, or a pioneering social-rights activist.
Mod
Depending on your point of view, as..."
A most welcome interloper, I assure you! We're all-inclusive, round these parts.
Hi, everyone! I'm Amy - @and_we_drown on Twitter - and am looking forward to the discussion! I'm a theater geek, mostly (backstage primarily, onstage once in a while), but that doesn't pay the bills, so I work at a tax firm during the day. I read a lot, write some, watch way too many tv shows and movies, am online constantly, and have been a sf/f/h geek since I was a wee one, so yay for a group of like-minded folks!
Mod
Welcome Amy!
Hello! I'm a reader, blogger and writer. Even though I feel a little late to the party, I'm excited to be here! My Twitter handle is @ADDCulture. Looking forward to discussing books (and all things geek) with you lovely ladies (and fellows)!
hi, I'm @kelly_lindsay, I'm really excited to get to discuss some great geeky reads. oh, and I work in a library, I like to compost and I have two dogs and four pet hens.
Hi! I'm @krisrudin on Twitter, and I have a book review blog at http://bibliofilebk.blogspot.com. Most of the reviews posted there are also here on Goodreads. I'm an AVID reader, of all genres, but my first love is SF. I'm a huge Neil Gaiman fan (does that man EVER publish anything less than brilliant??), but I also love classics such as 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I really enjoy stories with girls/women who kick butt, either metaphorically or literally! :-)
Hi! My name is Kim Brittingham. I wrote a memoir called "Read My Hips: How I Learned to Love My Body, Ditch Dieting and Live Large" which was just released in May. I work in New York City and live in a tiny Victorian seaside town. I'm 40 going on...oh, I don't know...14? I still have dreams featuring the members of Duran Duran (as they appeared in 1984). Just last night I dreamed I was in a thrift store and found a new-in-package cardboard car air freshener in the shape of John Taylor and couldn't believe my good fortune. If it was possible to earn a living just being a college student, that would be my job. This past spring I took four courses at the local community college and it was bliss. I can't afford to re-enroll just now, but on occasion I pull up their online catalog and swoon. I've been unemployed since 2009, though I'm currently working a temp gig in a law office, which is conveniently located near a Pinkberry.
I'm Tayanna! My twitter is @annayatdaliese :) I love books, geeky books and graphic novels are even better and talking books is my favorite thing to do ever.
Hi, I am Laurie, @PurpleMamalee . I am a nomadic homeschooling mom of 3 avid readers, and one three year old, who I am sure will follow suit. My husband and I are both avid readers as well. Our adventure has us currently living in Barcelona Spain. I just started the October book last night, and I am very excited. Can't wait to discuss.

Hi, I'm new here - I found you guys through a link posted to facebook, and got really pumped! I work two jobs, volunteer, and attend graduate school, so I don't have a ton of time for reading.

Hey guys, I'm @glorious_clio on le twitter! My favorite genre of sci fi is mostly time travel. I adore Doctor Who! Anyone watch/read it? I am also obsessed with Connie Willis - everyone here should read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by her. I have an undergrad degree in History and am currently pursuing a masters in library science. Bring on the nerdy-ness!
Hi, I'm Antía, from Spain. I don't have twitter account, but I'm already following the group on Google+ Nothing much to tell about me, bookworm and cinema geek, I try to expand to all kind of reading. I've read and enjoyed some of the books you've read already (I've got really excited to know you're reading Princess Bride, it's one of my most beloved books) so I think this might be a fun place for me to be.
Hello ladies! I'm Kate, Twitter handle @FormerKateCook, though admittedly I'm not much of a tweeter! I'm 27, newlywed, mother of one Australian Shepherd puppy, Public Policy & English double major. So happy to have found you! I just finished the Song of Ice and Fire series (well, I guess to put it more accurately, caught up with the series)--I started it in June and am having extreme withdrawal, so I'm ecstatic to have stumbled on a community of well-read women who appreciate my literary sensibilities!

Hi! I'm @theHyperMonkey and I'm a mixed media artist. :)I've been wanting to join a book club for ages but I didn't want to join a FTF one due to the time constraints. This fits the bill!
