Hey Sadie *waves*. Welcome to the group :0)

[Ebony]

Hi, re-introducing myself! I'm Ebony, I was here for a while last year, or the year before, I kind of dropped off sometime during a 'The Suitable Boy' read-along (which I feel bad about, I still haven't finished the book!). Anyway, I'm back, and committed to reading a whole lot more than I have been lately. I've recently finished my Masters degree, and moved to a smaller house (temporarily) so I have more time to read, but somehow my fiancee convinced me to put all my books in storage to save space (several large boxes of them!). So of course, the logical fix for this is that I need to purchase more books from my TBR list and read them instead of re-reading my favourites like I usually do.

So hi again!

[Tien]

Hey, Ebony! Congrats on finishing your Masters!

He must've been real persuasive to get you to store away your books!

Hello everyone. I joined this group over 4 years ago but haven't really been on (or read anything longer than a Facebook post) since I had twins 2 years ago so I'm reintroducing myself. I'm Lahni and I live in Washington state. I am a stay at home mom with 7 children ages 18, 16, 14, 10, 7, 2 (twins). People often assume we are a blended family but nope. Just a big one! I have missed reading and I'm so glad to be back! I love reading challenges and the pie challenge looks like fun. I can't wait to jump in!

[Tien]

Hey Lahni! Welcome back & congrats on your twins! Are they on your profile? So gorgeous!

[Lahni]

Thank you! Yes they are but that is old! I'll update it as soon as I figure out how. My new computer doesn't have any pics on it yet and I can't seem to edit it from my phone. technology problems! Ha ha!

lol, yea, I don't think you can upload new profile photo from GR app on phone... you'll need an net explorer of sort.

[isabella]

Hi!! I'm isabella, 16-turning-17, in sydney, australia!
I just joined goodreads recently and i'm looking to expand my reading collection - i haven't been reading as many books as i would've liked to in the past few years and that really disappoints me.. I'm hoping to find some great books through this site and this group. Thank you for creating this group!!
God bless x

Hello everyone! My name is Alison, I'm 17 years old and live in Belgium. I'm finishing high school this year and will go to University next year to learn biomedical sciences.

I can speak / read in three languages: French, Dutch and English. My native tongue is French but I prefer reading books in their original language when I can.

I love YA books, but I can also appreciate classics or adult fantasy books. Some of my favourites are: The Hunger Games, Divergent, 1984, Animal Farm, The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Fault in Our Stars and Warbreaker

I am currently reading The Odyssey which I think is really interesting, even if I don't understand all the references in the book (which is a pity) because I'm not an expert in Greek mythology (I wish I was though).

Hi Keith, welcome! Do jump in the activities :)

[Marina]

Hi everybody! My name's Marina, I'm a 33 year old woman from Italy. I was looking for new, nice groups to join when I found this one and I think it's a very good idea. I like reading various kinds of books but, for some reason or another, they mostly seem to fall into the category which we could call "literary fiction"... This year I've started going outside my comfort zone, though, and I'm enjoying it a lot, so I guess this group is going to be another stimulus in that direction.

Great to see you jumping in challenges etc

[Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse]

Hello everyone! My name is Margaret, and I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I love all genres, and don't think a day is complete without getting in at least one chapter. :) My husband and I live in Muskoka, Ontario, and I work as a librarian....which is an ideal job for someone who adores books as much as I do! I look forward to some interesting discussions here.

[Tien]

Welcome, Margaret! what a dreamy job!

[Lahni]

Hello, Margaret! Jump right in!

I read a broad range of books, always willing to be challenged with titles I may not have considered. Please do not ask me about my TBR shelf. It is rather tragic. I live in Coffs Harbour Australia, a wonderful part of the world. Looking forward to Being a part of this group.

I wish my mum reads & in English at that! Or hubby! wells, I just have to make sure my sons grow up readers so I can get them on GR ;p

Welcome, Jean! Great to have you join us!

[Marina]

I tried to get my mom on GR, but sadly she doesn't understand a word of English, and not all of GR is localized into Italian. She would have loved it!

[Allison]

Hello everyone! I love book challenges and was looking for something interesting for 2016 to help me with my overgrown TBR shelf, and came across this group. The games you guys play look like so much fun. I'd like to give it a try.

[Bea]

Welcome, Allison. We just started Bookopoly which will run through December 31, 2016. So hop right in. Other games will start in January.

[Becky]

Hi there!

Just received my 2015 update from Goodreads. Looks like I'm a bit stuck on Charlaine Harris so open to suggestions for 2016.

I like to escape but not too scary, life has enough of that thanks!

Love the APP! Cheers Becky

[Tien]

Hey Becky, doesn't the year in books look so pretty?!

Are you looking for books in the same genre as Charlaine Harris or something different?

We're looking at Debut for January so jump in and you just may discover something interesting.

[Sue]

Hi - I'm Sue from Pennsylvania. I few of my friends are members of this group so I thought I'd follow them on over. I'd like to stretch my reading as I tend to get in reading ruts way too often.

[~Liz~]

Hey Im Liz! I love reading books hence "Goodreads". My favorite books are YA but i hope to expand my usually genre. I live in Australia and think this is a great group :)

[Bea]

Welcome, Liz. We are developing quite an Australian contingent. If I ever get to Australia, there will be a lot of people to meet!

[Lisette]

Hi everyone, I'm Lusie and I live in the Netherlands. I mainly read my books in English even though Dutch is my first language.

I really like the idea of trying new genres. My experiencce is that books you normally won't pick up can surprise you in a good way. This group sounds like a lot of fun!

I love to read and never really kept track of how many books I read in a year. My plan for 2016 is to find out!

[Susan]

Welcome, Lusie. We have a lot of fun here, and trying genres is at the heart of it all. Glad to have you!

[Lisette]

Thank you for the welcome, Susan

[Tricia]

Hi wonderful people who made this Pick-a-shelf group!

My name is Tricia and I had a friend who showed me goodreads. Your group sound just right for me! I need to broaden my perspective of the world and a good place to start is by reading different genres. Thank you for letting me into this group!

Tricia

[Bea]

Welcome, Tricia. Jump right in where you want. We have LOST, Bookopoly, Book Hunt, Moving Mountains and the monthly shelf all going right now.

[Lisette]

Welcome, Tricia. Have fun finding new books to read.

[Karin]

Hi, all,

I am slowly moving things over here from Shelfari, and know some of you from there. I live in the US but originate from Canada (came to the States because my husband is American and didn't want to move up to Canada).

[Bea]

Welcome Karin.

[Tien]

Hey Karin, good to see you here ;)

[Lauren]

Welcome Karin. I used to be an avid Shelfarian but saw the writing on the wall a while ago.

If you are interested there is a Shelfari community here for tips and advice - Shelfarians Group

[Linda C]

Hi,
I heard about this group from Tien when we were discussing the demise of Shelfari. Thought I'd join and see what's up. I already belong to several other groups on GR and love the challenges at various sites.
