♥ My name is Ronyell.
♥ I'm from the United States.
♥ I love reading Children's books, romance novels especially historical romance and paranormal romance.
♥ I have been doing challenges for awhile now, but I haven't actually finished any of them!
♥ Well let's see, I love to read, I love to surf on the internet and I love to exercise!
Thanks Shellbelle for inviting me here!
Hello, I'm Lisa and I live in Hugo, CO a small town in Eastern Colorado(sorry no mountains here.) I will read anything. I enjoy PNR, UF, I have been reading a ton of classics due to another group here on GR. I have done some challenges in other groups but want to kick it up a notch.
Hey all! My name is Dawn and I am a challenge addict. I think my current Challenge is to see how many challenges I can get going at one time.
I am a stay at home mom, of a two year old boy. I know, how I actually find time to read amazes me too.
I recently moved to Denver, Colorado. I usually read PNR, but I am trying to branch out into other romance genres. I like books with humor, nothing too serious or thought provoking.
I am looking forward to all the interesting challenges you have going on here!
Welcome Dawn! We're so glad to have you!
Hi All!I'm Vicky and I live in Delaware.
I don't really have a favorite genre, I like all types of books from non-fiction to fiction and from science fiction to chick-lit.
I'm somewhere in the middle of newcomer and challenge pro. I've been participating in The Seasonal Reading Challenge on Goodreads, but with ~80 books to read in three months it gets overwhelming quickly, and I've been looking for a good group with some smaller scale challenges to participate in and it seems like I might have found one!

Truth be it, I have never been. I've been told it's too expensive for what it's worth but my dad visited and said it's really good, but I think that's because I have a 1 year old sister who probably loved it.
Where about's in Yorkshire did you visit? I've travelled around the place myself.
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Lauren. I live in sunny Florida with my darling hubby and my fur babies (cats), Neechee and Mischief.
I love reading and knitting and sometimes reading about knitting.
I will read almost anything, anytime, though I tend to pick fiction. Almost any fiction.
I am new-ish to Goodreads (and challenges) and came over as I found my blog was being overrun with book stuff instead of anything else.

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I just moved to and currently live in Tennessee, just south of Nashville. You can call me Stephanie or Steph, whichever. I'm fresh out of college with an English/Creative Writing degree and I love to read in my spare time, of courseI mostly read young adult, chick lit, bestsellers, and music-related books, but I'm open to lots of suggestions
I'm new to challenges but am excited to meet some fellow readers and share thoughts and books!
Hola Everyone! My name is Anino & I am a California-transplant living in Dallas, TX. My Favorite Genre would have to be Paranormal Romance along with Urban Fantasy. I'm a relative Newbie at this, but I am looking forward to having some fun with some challenges. As far as anything extra, I love animals and I love muscle cars...

Hi, I'm Portia and I'm from the Caribbean :D I'm very much into Classics, Fantasy, Young Adult, Horror, Victorian, Post Colonial Fiction, as well as Dystopian Novels. I enjoy writing myself, and I'm a bit of an artist as well. I'm a newcomer at challenges :D
Hello. My name is Amanda. I live in a city just outside of Toronto, Ontario in Canada. My favourite genre to read is Science Fiction, especially anything written before 1980. Of course, I'll read anything though. :)I'm a newcomer to challenges here on Goodreads, though a couple years ago I did challenge myself to read a set amount of books in a year and far surpassed it. I've been continuing the tradition ever since. This time, I thought I'd bring a bit of social interaction into it.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!
Hi my name is Sagal. I’m originally from Africa but I life in Kansas now where I go to school. I would prefer it if everyone just called me Sagal and not Steven (laugh if you get it). I try to read as much as I can in between homework and exams. I usually read just about anything, but I have a soft spot for humorous book. I’m a newcomer and if you have any questions for me let me know. :) :)
Mod
Sagal, Where in Kansas do you live? I live in Wichita! And what a change...Africa to Kansas?!lol
Hi everyone! My name is Shannon. I am from Michigan. I recently joined GR and am new to challenges. I love reading all genres...mostly romance, PNR, anything really. I am a reading addict! I keep telling my husband that my Kindle is the best gift he has ever given me. :) My BFF (Holly) also just joined the group and we will be reading buddies. Can't wait to get started on the challenges here!

My name is Tim. I live in Gloucester,UK, but am originally from London. I read from a wide variety of genres with a leaning towards historical. Dislike vampire novels intensely and all paranormal romance type stuff - sorry, it's just weird. (Read my profile for my verdict on the Twilight Saga)Definite newbie at book challenges.
So many new members!! Woo Hoo!! Welcome everyone!! :D
Hi! My name is Elise. I live in Youngstown, OH, but am originally from Cleveland. I love all types of books but I would say adventure/mystery are my favorite (Steve Berry, Dan Brown, etc.). I'm pretty new to challenges, and don't have a whole lot of time to read (last year of college keeps me pretty busy). I'm excited to do some challenges to help keep up on my reading though!=]

Yay fellow Buffy fan!! :)
And welcome everyone else! So glad to see you all here!! :D
Hey everyone, I'm Jen. I haven't been on here for quite some time, I have been busy with family and writing. I love reading anything from gritty and dirty to the cute love story. I hope I can get to know you guys and have a good time. Oh, and thanks for the invite Shellebelle.

hey ;)
oh, I sooooo wanted to go, but yeah itwas rather expensive.
We lived in Keighley, but we travelled a lot. Can't remember all the places we visited but; Manchester, York, Leeds (a lot), Skipton, the dales etc.
haha I learned a slang there as well, think it went something like "put wood in 'ole" shut the door?
Mod
Jen, glad you joined! (and that your back on GR's☺)

Can't say I or any of my friends say that but I have heard to once or twice.
When I moved up North I became quite confused with some of the things they say. Bonny for example, I had no idea what they were on about. Turns out it means pretty - oh and bane means baby. Don't know if you've heard of them?
The people ae friendlier though which is nice. Where are you living now then??

yeah, they have some funny sayings, and I've never been called Luv so much in my entire life, as I were there in a month ;P
hahahaha, haven't you heard the song in school *my bonnie lies over the ocean'?
True! I was taken aback at how nice and helpful people were, definitely not the last time I've been there.
Only stayed there for a month (part of my education). I'm back in Denmark now.

Okay, I've been a member of the group for about a month, but just now getting around to writing this intro. I do a lot of traveling and sometimes go to places that don't have a good internet connection. That is why I love my eReader.I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Jerry, but I'll answer to just about anything (hey you, him, whatshisname are just a few!). I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have moved back to the area after staying away for many a year. My favorite genre changes with my mood. For the most part it's Paranormal, Erotica, Mysteries, or Historical Fiction. I know that covers a lot, but I'm very eclectic. I am relatively a newcomer when it comes to challenges, but a quick learner.
I spent 24 years in the Air Force and I still have the Air Force in my blood. I love what I do now (systems analyst) and read every chance I get when I am not on the computer. I have just bought a new Sony T1 reader, so now I have to fill that up!
Glad to meet you all!!
♥You name? (what you would like to be called) Shy♥Where are you from? In NC but from SC
♥Your favorite Genre? I would have to say anything inviloving vampires and witches.
♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer? I have been slowly getting into challenges. I am looking forward to doing more of them.
♥Any thing else you would like to share!

Hi I'm Millicent and I live in Washington state. I will give any book a try. I love to read it is a passion of mine, but am new to this challenge thing. I'm married, work full time, and have 3 children.

Helo, my name is Karoline and I am curently living in Norway (born here), with big plans of moving to The Netherlands in near future.
I do love paranormal romances (even more when they take place in early 1800 or before), old gothic stories and mysteries. But I also enjoy many other types, and any fiction in oldtime England, Ireland and Scotland will be adored.
So far, the only book genre I've comed to dislike is crime. Though, not all crime, just these humourless, depressing, gray stories and the modern type. Would maybe be better to say that I enjoy crime only when it is mixed with some sort of humour.
I can easy call myself a newcomer when it comes to challenges, as I've never taken one. But that won't stop me for going full in on the more difficult ones (if there is such a thing?). I like to challenge myself, but I will need to take my wallet and my boyfriend into consideration, when going into a challenge.
I guess it isen't hard to see, but I adore anything taking place before 1900, both books, movies and styles and so on. I'm a sucker for the old times.

My name is Katy. You can call me Katy. I'm brand new to challenges, so bare with me! I am currently challenging myself to read more, as I'm a new reader. I mean, I've been ABLE to read for more than 30 years, but the interest is fairly new. I am from Fort Worth, Texas. Love it here. My favorite genres are true crime, fiction crime, celebrity memoirs, and the kind of books they make into cheesy lifetime movies. Some of my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, John Grisham (although, I've only read one of his), and ... well, my mind is blank right now, but you probably understand where I'm going. Anyway, can't wait to participate in a challenge here. Sounds like fun!

Ciao! My reader name is Lindy-Lane. I currently live in Ohio but hope to move back to Williamsburg, Virginia ASAP. My favorite reading genres are mystery, romance, and historical fiction. I'm not a pro to reading challenges; however, I am certainly addicted to them! I like the thrill of matching a read to the challenge requirement and snuggling in to read the books! I work in a library, home educate my teenage son, and adore my baby girl pug named Miss Lucy.
