Hi Tien,
I currently work in both Eastwood and St Leonard's. Are you working in the city?

I do, yeah. I used to work in Baulkham Hills but then they moved the whole office into the city :p

[Michelle]

Hi from San Diego. These past few months, I've been blessed with the time to read! Fiction has been my poison lately, but I am open to reading different genres. Glad to be part of such a diverse reading group!

[[deleted user]]

Hi. I'm Elizabeth from Pennsylvania. I enjoy Christian Fiction, Mysteries/Suspense, Biographies/Memoirs, and horse racing books as I'm an avid Thoroughbred Racing fan.

I look forward to finding new books/genres to read with this group.

[LynnB]

Hi Michelle and Elizabeth! Glad you're joining us.

Hi Everyone!!! :)
My name is Malissa. I am 20 years old and live in Oklahoma. I am currently a sophomore in college. However, I am not currently enrolled in college at this time. I recently moved back to the United States from living in Japan so I had to put my college studies on hold while I get settled. Once I get more settled, I'm hoping to attend the University of West Florida as an English or Library Sciences major. Even though I miss being in school full time, I love having the extra time to read the books that I want to read :)

I am excited about this new group and am looking forward to participating in discussions with y'all! :)

[Tien]

G'day, Malissa!

Welcome to the group :)

How exciting to have lived overseas for some time and in Japan! Would love to get there one day :)

Hi Tien!
Thank you for the warm welcome! :)
Japan is an absolutely amazing country- you should definitely go visit there someday. I would highly recommend visiting the Northern coast of Japan- it is breathtakingly beautiful there :)

[Biondy]

Hi all. I'm Biondy from Indonesia. Found this group at random :p

I like to read almost anything, especially fantasy. I hope I could get along in this group. :D

[Carol]

I joined this group in March. I really like the way it gives me a chance to focus my reading choices. My very first book was "84 Charing Cross Road." I would probably never have read that but for the "books about books" shelf.

[Tien]

Welcome, Biondy. Which part of Indo are you from? What's your fave fantasy novel?

Btw, I'm also Indo though I've lived in Australia for nearly 20 years. I can read Indo though and well, looking to practice it since I don't read it very often. So, what's your fave Indo fantasy novel?

Carol, I'm glad that your first experience turned out to be so positive! I hope that you'll find that you like a lot more books that you wouldn't have normally picked out :)

[Slayermel]

Slowly being able to pick up a book again while my little one is napping, she naps here and there. I'm trying so hard to get back into it all. Should be able to hopefully be back into the swing of things in the next few months as she's becoming more and more independent :)
Missed all you guys :)
It's lovely to see the growth in the group and how well your all doing at chipping away at those giant mount to be reads

Welcome back, Slayermel! I remember those days of babies and trying to read ... I wasn't very successful at reading for a while :) Hope you do better! Glad to see you're with us again.

[Slayermel]

The worst was pregnancy, I could not read a book to save my life, could not focus at all. I'd fall asleep or read the same line over and over or just feel nautious from reading

[Nadine]

Hi, everyone.

My name is Nadine. I'm a senior in high school and I'm looking forward to broadening my reading horizons in this group. My favorite genres are sci-fi, fantasy, and classics, but I like books of other genres too.

Take care,

[Aly]

Hey there, I'm Aly and I'm from Brazil, so I'm sorry if my english is bad. My dad used to be a book nut too, so I stole all his books as a kid and learned to love the world of literature. I think the idea of this group is genious because I'm trying to get back into a reading routine that I dropped,for some stupid reason, a long time ago. Thanks!

[Dogsandbooksanddogsandbooks]

Hi, I'm Debi. The idea of a group for 2014 sounded like a new and fun way to read. I live in CA. I'll read anywhere, car, plane, indoors/outdoors, vacation or work. It doesn't matter, I always pack a book bag and some sort of ereader. Just finishing up Life After Life.

[Deepthi]

[Mitzi]

Hi, my name is Mitzi Huddleston, I reside in Southern California. I joined GoodReads back in Oct but was hesitant to join any groups at that time but after putting myself up for the challenge to read 20 books this year I decided why not join a group to help me achieve my goal and introduce me to new books also.

Hi, Tatum! Lovely to meet you!
If you're a fast reader, does that mean you'd read heaps of books too?

Hi there, I'm Yvonne, 36, from Northwest UK. I love writing, reading and photography. I generally like to read horror, sci-fi, fantasy and humour. I'm a big fan of Stephen King, but at the moment I'm rereading Terry Pratchett.

[Beth]

Hi Tatum, I'm a very fast reader to, it really annoys people that I can easily get through 2-3 books a day if I really try.

Love to chat sometime:)

[Sean-michael]

hi all, I am 42, love to read but hadn't been doing as much as I wanted, also needed to find more low energy, relaxing hobbies as my health has been not so hot, and thought a 50 book challenge for 2014 would be a good way to do that.

I also hope to fing a lot of nice books to read.

[Wendy]

Wendy here, 47, retired English teacher from Montana. Love reading most genres, although a mystery thrown in between heavier works always works wonders for my literature palate. Looking forward to completing my challenge.

[Tien]

Welcome, Sean-Michael, Santiago, & Wendy! Best of luck on your challenges and hope we can spur each other on!
