Hi, All! This sounds like a great group. I'd love to participate and will be as active as possible. I'm an editor and have written a children's book. So I do get busy with my work but have periods of down time. I'm also an avid reader so am very interested in this book group.

[Lisa]

Hi everyone, I'm not as talented as the rest of you. I'm just a reader. I don't blog, I simply don't have time. I don't write, or, well, I haven't written in years. I use to write some poetry, but haven't written a word since about 2006. My muse seems to have flown the coop.

[Jeannie and Louis]

Hi, Thank you for the invitation to this group. My name is Jeannie and currently, I'm an avid reader. I hope to join the ranks of the writers one day, but it is in the future. I look forward to learning of new books and genres.

Think of it this way...... Your Muse has not flown the coop, your Muse has gone to be energized, with plans to return to you even stronger.....

[Kathryn]

Hi everybody! My name is Kathryn Long, aka K. Sean Jennkrist, depending on what I'm writing :-) I think my wanting to write came about from my loving to read. Mysteries are my favorite and authors like Catherine Coulter and Alex Kava. On the lighter side, I enjoy Janet Evanovich, which is where I got the inspiration to write Whips, Cuffs, and Little Brown Boxes. Under Jennkrist I started writing teen novels -- Not So Snow White and Cinderella Geek. It's opened me up to enjoy reading more young adult novels, such as by author Alex Flinn. Glad to be on board!

Welcome to out new people!! Jump on in to the group, get our book for August read, and lets get into some serious book talkin'! :)

[Candida]

Hi everyone, I'm Candida. I was invited to join by Christopher Payne (thanks!). I am a huge fan of sci-fi, fantasy and similar genre. I also read about 2-3 books a month or more depending on my hectic schedule. I've never been part of a book club before, so this will be a new adventure for me :)

[Aryana]

Hi I'm Aryana! thanks to Christopher Payne for inviting me! I love reading specially fantasy like Patrick Rothfuss, but I actually am attracted to any book that makes me feel comfortable while reading and is well written so any suggestion is welcome (:

[Sue]

Hi I'm Sue. I am not an author and not a blogger but I LOVE to read and have been a voracious reader since the age of 5. Unfortunately my 13 year old son did not aquire that interest but I'm working on him. I rec'd an invite but I can't remember from whom.

[A.]

I am a SciFi/Fantasy writer. I have an ongoing space adventure series called 'Space Trippers' as well as a newly released steampunk romance called 'Brass Hearts- a steampunk fairytale'.

I like classic romances like Jane Austen's (she has a very quick sense of humor), Evelina, North & South, the Pink House, Girl of the Limberlost etc.
I like romantic comedies.
I also like funny scifi like Douglas Adams books.

As a child I loved the Trixie Belden series, I almost have the whole set.

I'm a big fan of manga, great series like Perfect Girl Evolution, Full Metal Panic, Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, and most shoujo comedy romances.

I look forward to seeing what books are discussed.

[Tara]

Hi everyone, I'm Tara - mom, reader, writer, soon-to-be teacher (pretty much in that order). Two of my three children have autism, so I'm grateful for online book clubs, as I love to read and talk about books, but I don't have much opportunity to get out (other than for work).

I just got my first writing acceptance last week (and my second acceptance yesterday), so I'm still in the Happy Zone. :) I also have a recently-started blog at http://tarasayers.blogspot.com/.

Looking forward to some great books and great discussions!

[Natshane]

Hi! I'm Natasha and I'm an obsessive reader, I need to read at least a book a week, and that is already considered crucial, though I hardly had time to. I enjoy reviewing and writing.

[Amy Eye]

Great to have you all here! This is the first time I have ever been a part of a real book group, so this is great fun for me as well. As this is my first time being in a book group, much less moderating it, I may not always do things perfectly, but I will tell you I am doing what I can to make this a fun experience for all involved!

[Carlo]

Hi all. I'm Carlo, author, teacher, anthropologist. Love history and researching and investigating old buildings etc. Live in Barcelona and travel frequently to do write ups on historical villages, monasteries, cathedrals etc. Great to be part of this group :-)
