Joyce (arscott53) Of course my favorite hobby is reading, but I also like to garden and experiment with food. Playing the piano is something I enjoy but I'm not good at it by any means.

Jessica | 5 comments I love reading, obviously..I like doing sports, all kind of sports are good for me ;) I enjoy travelling too and taking pictures during; and for those who like to cook but hate cleaning, I love cleaning XD

message 304: by Hellanna (new)

Hellanna Waiters (author_hellannawaiters) | 4 comments I've found a new love for skating. Writing, of course! I attend the gym very often because I have to, but I find some joy in it. The elliptical is awesome! I'm working on improving my social life, though. Major need.


message 305: by Marissa (new)

Marissa | 10 comments I love coffee and reading (so love the title of this group)!
My main interest is spending time with my dogs. My husband and I spend most weekends hanging with the dogs. A perfect afternoon to me is lounging on the couch reading while my fur babies sleep on my lap :-0 I like the outdoors--enjoy hiking and taking the dogs on walks. I probably watch too much TV too.


message 306: by Marissa (new)

Marissa | 18 comments Reading (obviously :D), but I love baking and crafting, too. I learned how to make jewelry a few years ago and it's become a bit of an addiction. :) I've been known to spend hours in a craft store. I love looking for gorgeous beads and materials almost as much as I love book store browsing. Spending a weekend making pretty things is definitely a happy way to pass the time.

Wow! It sounds like you are an all-around crafter :) Someone in my family does a lot of the activities that you participate in. I mainly crochet, I tried to learn how to knit, and embroder, but it didn't work out so well.

Kimberly Hall I love to read, trying to get back to reading on a daily basis. I love playing sports particularly basketball. And I love hanging out with my hubby and our three daughters.


message 313: by Grace (new)

Grace Although reading is one of my top hobbies, I am also training for a bodybuilding show. So, I lift a lot of weights, and spend a lot of time in the gym. I have to listen to music while I lift, but I've really started to contemplate audiobooks for those times when I want to do cardio and not think about it! Does anyone else like to do that?

I love to read above most everything, but I also enjoy:
-bird-watching

-keeping a journal
-singing

message 326: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wmaresca) I love reading,but next to reading photography would be next love.


message 327: by Diane (new)

Diane Reading, running, and traveling are my favorite hobbies. I have dabbled in blogging when we were traveling a lot. However, I am a very slow writer, so it is a bit too time consuming for my life at the moment.

Kudos to all that are creative. It has always been a struggle for me to be creative or artistic in any way. I know what I like when I see it, but I am not good at coming up with new concepts. I am in awe of people with creative talent.


message 328: by Charlotte (new)

Charlotte Brandom | 3 comments I love reading, and watching films and TV shows. I'm just trying to build some of my creative writing skills at the moment as I would love to start writing - blogs, books, I've even considered Youtube.

I've also just started colouring, in one of those art therapy books which I have to say I am loving. I find colouring really relaxing and I often colour while watching TV shows. I'm not very creative when it comes to coming up with new ideas so colouring rather than drawing works well for me (one of the things I'm working on with my creative writing practise).

I've just started going to the gym which I'm really enjoying, and can't believe I didn't try it sooner. Apart from that making lists, tidying and constantly organising are some of my most prevalent hobbies :).


message 329: by Farrah (new)

Farrah Aside from reading-- I love to write, cook, make & drink wine, hike, watch Dr. Who, travel, but most of all--I really love to read and hang out in bookstores, libraries, and coffee/tea shops reading. I'm not fond of reading at the beach unless I'm the only one there an even then--my attention is pulled away by the beauty around me.


message 330: by Kitty (new)

Kitty Pilgrim | 8 comments I read, as much as I breathe. When I am not reading, I am outdoors, exploring the world.


message 331: by Anita (new)

Anita (neet413) | 53 comments Reading, photography, cooking, visiting museums, and gardening. And every now and again, usually in the winter when I'm in hibernation mode, I'll get addicted to a game on my PS3. This year, it's the Assassin's Creed series. =]


message 332: by Leanne (new)

Leanne (bookgirl91) I write poetry and I sing. I'm actually going to be in the chorus of Legally Blonde the Musical this year which will be my first time working with a professional company


message 333: by Katarzyna (new)

Katarzyna (kasiaaaa) | 4 comments I love reading and writing. I'm writing poetry but a few weeks ago I started writing my first book.

I am also interested in psychology, history and photography.


message 334: by Laura (new)

Laura Luzzi (hopeluzzigmailcom) I love to cook. I am now into coloring while listening to music. I make picture collages as well as collages made from magazines. In the spring and summer, I have a garden. And of course, I read.

message 338: by ~Teresa (new)

 ~Teresa Reading is my favorite thing to do but sometimes life gets in the way! When I'm not working I love spending time with my daughters and grandkiddos! Seeing movies, swimming and just hanging out with them is amazing! I'm also an organization geek, redecorate my home on a regular basis and I just started yoga. In my spare time you'll find me on the back deck with my fur babies, a steaming cup of coffee and a good book. I adore my peaceful life!


message 339: by Jess (new)

Jess Rice (jessrice) | 6 comments I love to read. Also, I enjoy crocheting, cross stitch, and crossword puzzles.


message 340: by Sarai (new)

Sarai (arcadianreader) | 6 comments I love reading, watching historical documentaries (though some consider them boring) and historical dramas. I loved HBO Rome and The Tudors, though of course they aren't 100% accurate but I love the costumes and sets. Did not like the overt sex scenes.

I liked sewing when I worked at my college's theatre dept though I am saving up to buy my own sewing machine.

I also love photography though I haven't played with my camera enough. I want to buy lenses but I they're so expensive and I'm just a hobbyist.

Ooooh, I also love painting and drawing. I wish I can oil paint but I'm nervous of using them and I'm at a loss of where to dispose used materials. I'm also at a student budget and talk myself out of purchasing art stuff since I don't work on it like I used. But my recent haul has been the Faber Castell Polychromos!

Makeup is another hobby of mine and I like to think I am painting my face :D


message 341: by Noelia (new)

Noelia (noe_263) | 6 comments I love dancing and singing, but I also write novels (I'm trying


message 342: by Pauline (new)

Pauline Macura Brown | 4 comments I weave, knit and sew. I also paint and draw. I love to cook. Of course I love to read: historical fiction, Canadian- lit and contemporary thrillers. Occasionally I read older " classic" novels.

Nina Law I love reading, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, gardening, and hiking. We like to go to Gatlinburg and hike in the mountains.


message 345: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (wendelina) I photograph headstones! Yep. Grave markers. I meander cemeteries. I started doing it for my own relatives, and found that a lot of people request photographs through www.findagrave.com So that's how I spend my summers :-)

message 347: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (batgirl2401) Playing with my dog named Quinn, reading, watching Netflix, random adventures to the tea store!
In typing all this down I realize I have a very boring lifestyle lol


message 348: by Tyla (new)

Tyla Milian (tylamilian) I am sort of in a phase of rediscovering what my hobbies are right now. Seems like painting, anything DIY. I love to sing, especially blues and folk rock.

I love building my little library through thriftbooks and other places. We have 3 cats, so that's awesome too. I love coffee. So much. That cup a day is so serene. I used to love all things active and outside, then I got sick. So now i love my little walks when I can go on them, my cats, my bf, movies, tv, HARRY POTTER, books, crochet, spotify, random things. :) I am very excited to have found this group. I used to read a book in a day. But it is harder now to read. So i take more time. But i love it all the same!! It is an escape into another world, I laugh, i get angry, i cry, i cheer! I find such a peace in reading. I also love naps. :) I am 25! Call me Sam, Sammy, or Samantha! :) Thank you for hthis chance. I AM NEW TO THIS, so please be kind and help me learn if i make mistakes. <3 Gentle hugs & happy reading!
