Newbie corner - what do you expect from this group?

[Ishwar]

Hey folks! I'm Ishwar. I'm here mainly for finding like-minded people to buddy-read with. I'm majorly into Fantasy with occasional detours here and there in Speculative Fiction genre.

Hoping to have a good time here!

[Prosenjit]

As a lot of folks know, I set up libraries for the underprivileged kids in India (25+ libraries in Kolkata,Bangalore, Mumbai,Pune,Nagpur,Delhi NCR, Orissa, WB,Himachal Pradesh covered till now) across communities in need. If you also identify with the cause, would need some help in social media awareness! Connect with me via messenger if you can volunteer for the "Librarywallah" Initiative - we arte looking for 1-2 hours effort per month on platforms like Linkedin and Facebook!! (Hope this does-not violate any of the community guidelines!!) Thanks in advance, and a happy Diwali (Festival of Lights) from India to all!!!)

[Saloni]

Hey! I'm Saloni, and turning 16 soon. Being an NRI (I live in dxb) I don't have many Indian friends attached to their culture. I hope I can meet people on this group. I've been reading for as long as I can remember and currently like romance, women's fiction, and drama. I'd be happy if u added me as a friend on here!

[Yamini]

Hey guys !! I m new to this whole reading challenge thing as I just started reading alchemist and got off track due to my busy schedule as med student .. hopefully this challenge will help me to get back into reading books

[Supurna]

Took me 2 days to go over all the threads!! Always been an avid reader but never an active reviewer, something that I need to work on. I need some insights from this group on what works for contemporary romance in an Indian family.

Would love some great travel book recommendations!

So, I'm not really a newbie to the group, but certainly a lot has changed since I last saw this group. Almost six months off GR, life was a little busy.
I am absolutely eager to get back to the group..

[Charlie]

Hello. Last year I was “following” your Group reads with interest. (Am of an Indian origin based in UK). Really enjoyed reading most of the books chosen. So joined this group today. But can’t find any group reads for this year, or indeed any activity on other discussions? Am I doing something wrong or have you moved to FB or something?

So basically, the mods are a bit busy, or maybe they stopped the BOTMs because of low readers. You can still request to read books as Buddy Reads, if a few people are willing to. And among the few threads that are active, are the fun games, 😄

I doubt they moved to FB, but I actually don't know.

[Ahtims]

@Charlie, the BOTMs have stopped as mods are finding it difficult to maintain it.
as tazmeen said, you may shout out for cozy reads / buddy reads in the respective thread.
