Looking forward to reading with fellow Geek Girls.

Hello all, I'm @NikkiSticks...and I am proud to have so many of you here starting GGBC! I am so thrilled that so many amazing people are getting together to make this book club a reality...I could never have pulled it together without all of you.

[Beth]

Hi, everyone! I'm @ladypembroke. I'm a mother and an astrophysics major who has been into fantasy books since I first read Madeline L'Engle's "A Wrinkle In Time" when I was 6. I'm so glad to find more kindred spirits to play with.

[Jenn]

Hello! I'm @quietjenn and I'm another children's librarian.

Hi, I'm @emmaryal. I'm a single mum that loves reading. I will happily give anything a read. Never been in a book club. I remember my mum reading me the Hobbit when I was young and I'm determined to make that one o my son's memories.

[[deleted user]]

Hello all! I'm a fantasy writer (and reader) and mother to a 16 month old Geek Girl. My Twitter handle is @mishellbaker if anyone wants to chat!

[Ruth]

Hey all! I'm @soxxers. I've loved to read since I was eight, but this is the first time I've been excited about a book club. Go GeekGirls!

[Megg]

Hey, I'm @Nutmegg98. I'm a kindergarten teacher who fell in love with the LOTR books back when I was 12-years-old. I'm also a huge fan of Star Wars and anything else that's probably considered to be geeky. :)

[Erin]

I'm @GingerNinsja and I love all things kitties and gaming (plus a lot of other nerdy things ^_^). This is, too, my first book club!

[Tracey]

I'm not on Twitter - is that OK? I am in all other ways pretty darned geeky - a Tolkien geen since the age of about 12, a comic book geek all through my teens, Doctor Who (LOVE the group logo image) and Star Trek and Renaissance Faires - and fantasy fiction, of course. This is a terrific idea!

[whimsicalmeerkat]

I can vouch for Tracey's awesomeness. xD

I'm @meerkatwhimsy. I'm also somewhat confused about the twitter tie in, but I'm all about some geekiness.

[Tracey]

LOL! And I can vouch for Denae's awesomeness.

[Nicole]

totally fine that you aren't on Twitter. Glad to have you here!

[Leighann]

Hey all I'm also not on Twitter...but have been a geek my entire life :) Glad someone started this group :)

[Megan]

Hey, my name is Megan. I am a twenty something English Major who loves to read books. I read everything from typical book club fair to fantasy.

[[deleted user]]

Hey. I'm @knitiot on Twitter. Great idea for a book club! I'm a boring bank employee but I love fantasy fiction.

[Leighann]

My copy of the Hobbit is on the one bookshelf I keep in my room - it is the one with all the books that are falling apart because I re-read them so often...ah might need to get around to replacing some copies soon. I think a few of them are on copy two or three already :)

[Nozomi]

Hello everyone. I am @QuarkyGirl, I am currently in school for Computer Science, after being a Anthropology/Japanese Studies Double major for two years. I love to read and am very excited to have this group!

[Bridget]

Hi from @BridgetMcKenna--longtime geek, mother to geeks, grandmother to yet more geeks.
The idea for the Geek Girls Book Club was born on Twitter, during a frenzy of posting about (drum roll) The Review. That's the connection, for those who wondered, and I predict a lot of Twitter activity around this, so why not leap in and join the conversation?

[Zinge]

Hello all! I'm Ginge (@aemjae) and I was recently led to GR via my friend Keli. It feels so nice to be among fellow geek gals! :)

I'm not very well at intros, but please feel free to check out my profile and friend me if you'd like! I look forward to mingling with all of you. :)

[Kymmy]

Hi! I am @KymmyHoff and desperately trying to finish my current book in time to start off this classic with you all. Been a long time since I have read it but hubby and I are big Tolkien fans, so much so that we named our beautiful girl Arwen. You don't get much geekier than that!

[Sonja]

Hi, everyone! I'm @crvena_sonja (Red Sonja really :) and I'm a recent CS grad. I absolutely adore The Hobbit, graphic novels like the Sandman & Fables series, and A Game of Thrones, just to name a few... Can't wait to read and chat with everyone here!

[Ed]

Hi there! I heard the geek girls podcast and the discussion of the silly nyt editorial (iPad made nyt into nut). Glad to see this group. I'm Ed and happy to be a part of this group. I'm @edspillane on twitter and http://Facebook.com/Ed.Spillane.

[Jenna]

Hi all, I'm @jenna_goodall on twitter. I'm a college student studying French and Library Science, and I can't wait to share my geekiness with all of you!

[Basic]

Thank you so much for the blog mention!

[Annie]

Hi I'm @AnnieEvett on twitter and wish I had more time to read. This group - hopefully will give me a reason to MAKE time...I'm an author, editor, speaker, mum - a thaumaturg . stuff about me and the insane life I lead can be found here http://annieevett.com/

[Steph]

Hi! I'm @melme and I finally got around to looking into the goodreads group. :)

[Inger]

Hi, I'm @inger - closet geek (although the closet may be made of glass). I've never belonged to a book club before, but this one looks fun.

[Michelle]

Hi guys! My name is Michelle (@shellysaurus__ on Twitter!). I'm a little intimidated right now, cause it seems like everyone here is older than me - but you all seem so nice, I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm greatly looking forward to being here! (:

[Jessie Leigh]

Hey I'm Jessie. I'm @msjessieee on Twitter. I love to read, love all kinds of books. Fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, chick lit, I love them all. I feel slightly intimidated like Michelle, but I hope to get to know all of you and showcase my extreme geekitude.

[Dana]

Hey all! I'm Dana and I don't have a Twitter account (I hope that's ok?) but I'm fairly certain I can make up for that in utter geekiness. I love sci-fi and fantasy of pretty much every make and model and in any media format. I'm currently a grad student studying Library Science. I get a little intimidated by on-line forums and such but if it's discussions about the dweeby books I love, this should go well. Small warning: my undergrad degree was in both English and Communication Studies so I will probably get very theoretical.

[Luna Station Quarterly]

@Michelle - You're very welcome to join in! Don't worry about your age, we need young blood and us old fogies are thrilled to pass on our love of fantasy!

@Dana - don't worry about having a Twitter account. I'm sure the discussion here will be lively and we need all the geeky librarian ladies we can get!

[Tracey]

OK. I've limped into the 21st century and signed up on Twitter - @Walk_inthe_Dust seems to be me.

Um. I'll be the one looking befuddled in the corner ...

I'll probably do the same o_O

Befusticate and bebother this newfangled technology! :D
