I'm honest not on Twitter much but am @LNypaver. That said, I recently joined up and am super excited about this group. I always have at least 2 or 3 books going (even if I am horrible about updating on here) and am always looking for the next great book to enjoy. Mostly I read SciFi and Fantasy, but I will literally read anything. My office is upstairs from a library and I am often guilty of going in during my lunch break and just picking up a random book and reading it through.

Hello! I'm April. I have twitter but never really used it and can't remember my twitter name. I found GGBC on Hello Giggles. I've wanted to be a part of an online book club for a while to read the discussions to help me learn to read between the lines a little more. I'm super excited to be here!
Hello all I'm @krystleskarma on Twitter and I've been a Geek Girl from a young age when I started reading Piers Anthony (oh "Isle of View" look what you started!!) in Grade 3 or 4. I'm trying to branch out a little in my reading but I always manage to get back to my geekiness at least 3 times a month :)
Hello everyone! I am @jacksonpancakes on Twitter (though I don't use it as much as I want to). I am currently living in Hanoi Vietnam and teach Kindergarten with mostly non-English Korean students (go figure!). I read just about anything that I can get my hands on to.

In Winnipeg.
Love a good science fiction/fantasy. Graphic novels are also way up there on my list. Glad to have found a book club that has the same interests as myself. Most others I have found are interested in romance novels or Oprah book picks. Definitely not my taste. So thanks for starting this up and having us all.

Oops, I never introduced myself. I'm Melissa, or @karmic9 on Twitter. I'm older than I like to think about. I have a B.S. in Zoology, and work in the Veterinary Industry. I grew up reading Fanatsy & SCiFi and really anything I could get my eyes on. I also game a little. Happy to be here!
Hello. I am @hulksmash02 on Twitter. Geek to the core. Married for 15 years this year. Just looking for a book club and have been following Nikki for a while and thought the idea was cool and finally got up the nerve to ask to join. Um yeah and I am definitely male.

Greetings to everyone! My name is Heather, no twitter account. I am an artist and geek. I love reading (sci-fi/fantasy, comedy and pretty much anything else), comic books, t.v/movies (mostly comedies and fantasy), gaming and, of course, drawing. This is the first book club I've joined. I am really looking forward to the book selections and discussions.
Mod
Thanks for joining us Heather. So glad to be your first book club!
Hi, Pat here. Liked your group's selections, will take me a little time to catch up, though pathetically slow reader. I wish I'd gotten in on the Martin discussion...I am suffering angst over-load with that saga.
Mod
No worries! We are just glad you could join us.
Hi everyone my name is April. I have a twitter account but I really don't use it (@pudrizzle) This is the first book club I have ever joined! I am currently in school and I would like to read some books just for fun for once :). I don't have a lot of sci-fi/fantasy books under my read list, but I love those genres and I am excited to read all the books this group picks out!
Hello, my name is Sherry. Occasionally on twitter as @smdasilva5. Mom to 5 kids, computer programmer, writer wannabe and all around geek.
Hi Ladies, I'm @melissa_rivero. Currently reading a Feast for Crows and looking for more sci-fi & fantasy books to read. Glad I found this group!
Hello! I'm Kim originally from Montreal (Qc), now living in Auckland (NZ) as an Indie writer, married, with 2 kids. Happy to meet you all!:)@kimdallmeier for Twitter
I'm @BearcatKayt [or Kayti IRL] and I work at a gamestore in Kentucky, looking around for a geeky group of gals to share some literature with! :D And HEY! I KNOW NATASHA! [Kentucky Geek Girl] :D

Hello, all. I'm Mike, a book rep and UF author from Bloomington, IN. I'm @MikeRUnderwood on Twitter, and I'm excited to participate here and help show the awesomeness of geek girls (since the protagonist of my first novel is, herself, a geek girl).

Hey I'm @bron629. I'm a nerd and a theatre kid from CT about to graduate from college in a few short weeks.
Salvete! I'm Rachel. I have a twitter account (@rachelcinis), but it's completely dedicated to teaching, so I'm not sure how interesting it will be for anyone else. I love sci-fi and technology, as well as fantasy (I have to--I play D&D).Is there a place to recommend books?
Mod
Mod
Rachel: you can recommend books on Twitter at #GGBC, and at our FB group. I will start a list for Goodreads as well "Book Ideas" will be here in General info.
Hello group! I'm Katherine and am new to this genre. I am late discovering the SF/Fantasy genre and look forward to seeing what you are all reading. I do not use Twitter.
Thank you! I put a recommendation down :)

Hiya, I'm Sue-Ann, Twitter handle @ysabelkid. I really enjoy the paranormal fantasy genre, especially in an urban fantasy setting, but I've been reading classic fantasy, sci-fi, horror and various forms of romance (particularly historical) for nearly four decades. I discovered the awesomeness of the geek girl community via Twitter, so it's fitting that that's where I found out about the GGBC!
I'm Cassandra, 20 and from Malaysia. I started out with JRR Tolkien and that was when I fell in love with fantasy. I also read some sci-fi books (though I'm pickier about that) and I also read Marvel Comics. I'm currently rediscovering Diana Wynne Jones and I love her books! Other than that I'm currently reading the Song of Ice and Fire series.I'm thrilled to have found this group!
