Hi Lesley, Welcome!

[Shellbelle]

Hi, Lesley! Glad you joined the group☺

[╰⊱♥⊱╮ღ꧁Kathy,Ahmazing Book Faerie꧂ღ╭⊱♥≺]

HI. I'm Kathy, Read my first Susan Mallery in my August challenge in RIME. I have never been a Romance book person, but just loved this book, I'm hanging out now to finish my challenge so I can read more of the Bakery Sisters!

[~Jennifer~]

Glad you came over Kathy!!

[Shellbelle]

Welcome Kathy! Happy you joined, and I have said this before, but it only takes reading one Susan Mallery book to become a fan!

[Cindy]

Hi everyone. My name is Cindy, and I started reading romance novels since middle school. I'm a big fan of Susan Mallery's and I can't wait to start Only Mine, and the many more to come in the Fool's Gold series. Other than this series, I'm trying to read every book that Susan has ever written. It's not really easy, since the library and book store no longer carries her older books (books that were published by Silhouette, Special Edition).

[Hannah]

Welcome Cindy! :)

[Zany Rin]

I know this is late but what can I say ... I suck! LoL! :o}

Hello all! A few of you know me from RIME here on goodreads or through common friends.

But for those who don't know me here is the need to know ...

Let's see for starters ... my name is Erin but as you can see I go by RiN. I know who would have thought that you could make a short name like Erin any shorter but go figure my bestie Amm birthed the nickname and has forever stuck. LoL! :o)~

But the main important need to know fact about me if you can’t already tell now you most definitely will know in the end that BOOKS are my life! Books are like the blood that flows through my veins.

To be honest Ward's BDB series was the first series that got me hooked on any type of romance books. I always thought Romance Novels were the Fabio type stuff my Gran liked to read. Ewh! But all jokes aside I have become rather addicted. And since my discovery in PNR by means of BDB I have come across some of the most awesome authors ie Showalter, Cole, Adrian, Ione and Kenyon just to name a few.

More recently my lastest discovery has been of the naughty variety ... started with Inside Out by Lauren Dane (which at the time I didn't know it was a series that had to books prior) and from there I was introduced to Kitt, Paulin, and Haynes by the infamous Whycked One (Dyllan) and the equally corrupting Naughty V (Veronica) who I love dearly because they are forever making me laugh with their crazy antics!

Well I think I've got the longest intro going so far (maybe or maybe not) so I think I met my goal. LoL! But now I will say it's nice to be here and I look forward to meeting some new zany book readin' friends.

P.S ~> I another sure sign that I suck ... I have yet to read any SM books. See? Suckage!

Okay I think I am really done this time ... for now. LoL! :o)~

[~Jennifer~]

lol You crack me up. :) Glad you joined us over here!

[Shellbelle]

Yay Rin! Glad your here☺ And you should def. give Susan Mallery's books a try, I think you'll like them....they are not exactly what you have been reading lately, but still good!lol

WOW!!! I just noticed that we're at 100 members:)

[Shellbelle]

Just noticed that myself Carolyn! Hope that means we have lots of participation in the new Contest☺

[Shelly]

Hello! My name is Shelly also and of course I'm here because of Shellbelle! I joined a few weeks ago, but decided to stop lurking and introduce myself! I read my first SM book a few months ago, it was Chasing Perfect and so far I've read the first 3 books in the series! Soon I will begin reading Only Mine and maybe starting on the Lone Star Sisters series, maybe the Bakery one, can't decide. But I will eventually get to them all!

[Shellbelle]

YAY Shelly! Glad to have you here☺ The Fool's Gold series is so good, you should def. read Only Mine!!! And Only Yours comes out next week, and I think it's one of my favorites!!!

[~Jennifer~]

Welcome to the group Shelly!

[Cindy]

Welcome to our group Shelly! Only Mine was great, I ♥ it! I hope you will too.

[Pemberleyaddict]

Aloha! Thanks for the invite; I'm fortunate to know Carolyn in "real life" and she was the one who suggested Susan Mallery..and I'm glad she did! How did I go this long without reading her books?! I'm 36, married, and mom to two kids and lucky to be living in the 50th state.

[Shellbelle]

Welcome Pemberlyaddict! Glad that you joined the group, and that you have discoved Susan Mallery! I feel the same way, I can't beleive I went so long without reading her, but now that I have I am making my way through all of her books!

[Cindy]

Welcome to the WLSM group Pemberleyaddict! ☺

[~Jennifer~]

Welcome Pemberleyaddict! :)

[Jeanine]

Hi guys! I'm Jeanine and I'm a fairly new convert to Susan Mallery and her books. I have to thank BooksonBoard.com for that. When Almost Home was released, I was lucky enough to win an eBook copy. Since then, I've been hooked. I've read the Fool's Good series (impatiently waiting for Only His now) and I've just started the Buchanan series, all 4 raring to go on my Reader. I currently have Sweet Talk sitting in my shopping cart waiting to download. Susan is a sweetheart too, she's super fan friendly and has responded to some of my tweets and post on Facebook. I'm looking forward to chatting with other SM fans!

[Cindy]

Welcome to the group, Jeanine!! ☺ I have yet to read Almost Home, but I think I might need to move it up on my tbr list :p.

[~Jennifer~]

hi Jeanine! Welcome to the group. Sorry it took me a while. I've been out of town!

[Shellbelle]

Welcome to the group Jeanine! And your right Susan is amazing!☺ If you have already read Only Yours make sure you join in the September Group REad☺

[Susan]

Welcome to all the new members! I'm Susan Mallery. I don't get in here often, but I wanted to stop by to say hello, and to let you know that all of the conversations going on in this group make me smile. Especially Susanomics, which cracks me up! :)

I have five - count 'em, FIVE - brand new books coming out next year, so I don't have as much time as I'd like for Goodreads. Right now, I'm working on A FOOL'S GOLD CHRISTMAS, which will be the fourth Fool's Gold book of 2012. Three cowboy brothers will move to Fool's Gold beginning in June, and their little sister will reluctantly follow later in the year. They're pretty spectacular, these Stryker men.

Shelley and Jennifer, thank you so much for everything you're doing to keep this group fun and interactive!

[Hannah]

Can't wait for the new books, Susan! :)

[~Jennifer~]

Hi Susan. ☺ I enjoy this group so it's my pleasure to help out. Can't wait for the new books! (Cowboys...yay! Please tell me they wear chaps. lol)

[[deleted user]]

Can't wait for the new books. Gotta love them cowboys:)

[Susan]
