Hi everyone!I'm Stella, I just joined this group last night and now I'm a little lost. So every suggestion is very welcome.
I live in Rome, Italy and I read only MM books
Your name? (what you would like to be called) Hi everyone. My name is Lou.
♥Where are you from?
I live in Philadelphia.
♥Your favorite Genre?
I love romantic fiction. It can be fantasy, contemporary, urban, sci-fi, historical -- I read it all as long as there is romance. Currently I'm reading a lot of M/M, but there's a little bit of everything collecting dust on my shelves.
♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer?
I am definitely new to challenges. I am hoping that committing to challenges will help me to organize my shelves, my reading schedule, and reduce the number of books I've purchased but haven't read. Seems I am quite a
♥Any thing else you would like to share!
Just that I'm glad I found this group and look forward to getting to know all of you. Oh, and I want to say hello to a special friend who I (accidentally) found out belongs to The Challenge Factory. "Hi!" (You know who you are.) LOL
Mod
Glad you can join us on the insane challenge group :D
Let's all buddy read, WOOO HOOOOOO!
Ummm, hi back Lou :D
♥Your name? Barb♥Where are you from? Santiago, Minnesota
♥Your favorite Genre? Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror all of the romance type, well, except for Horror usually.
♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer? I am a newcomer and just signed on for the 2015 reading challenge. I am slow to learn what all the GR buttons mean and trying to navigate my way around so if I do something totally brainless, chalk it up to being up all night reading and lack of knowledge.
♥Any thing else you would like to share! I am widowed for 4 years now and live with my 5 (yep 5) Yorkies all under 7 pounds on 3 acres. They let me read to them when I feel like reading aloud. I look forward to getting to know everyone. Thanks for letting me join.
Mod
I love yorkies.
Hello!My name is Carolina, and I go as Carol (not too original at that). I'm 20 and from Brasil, living just outside São Paulo city :) My favorite genre would have to be something like sci-fi and YA (I've got a lazy brain sometimes). I'm a total newbie at challenges, and even at GR, but I've been trying to read 70 books in the 2014 book challenge. I mostly read in english, even though it's not my main language, so for that sometimes books that are too dense are beyond my league.

Hi Carol, welcome to the Challenge factory. Try some challenges on, but do the ones that you can pick your own books :D
My name is Tina Theresa. I live in Northern Virginia. I read romance books- YA, NA, historical, paranormal, sci-fi. I try to throw in a historical fiction. There are so many books I want to read and the challenges help me pick which books to read.
Mod
Tina, have you read
or
? I have heard great things about those books.Xaviera, one of my good friends is from "Joisey", which is how he pronouces it. Or as my husband the New Yorker would say "lower New York". LOL.
If you like challenges, this is the place for you. Jump right in to the December challeges.

Hi everyone! My name's Emma. I'm 20 and from Melbourne, Australia. I love anything fictional, but I'm currently in my YA phase. I'm totally new to challenges and I'm here because I have a habit of buying books and never reading them and I think it's time to rectify that.
Hi - I'm Laurla and have been on GR for a bit over 2 years. I've been kind of lurking in this group the last couple of weeks and decided to go ahead and join :-) I've been part of the Romance Readers Reading Challenges group for just over a year, so I'd say I'm getting pretty good at challenges! And that probably also tells you that my favorite genre is Romance - Romantic Suspense and Contemporary are my favorite sub-genres... though I like some erotica too. Oh, and I'm a slave to series.I'm from the Indianapolis, Indiana area in the US which makes me a typical mid-westerner. I'm married with 2 boys, one in college and one who is 14. I work full time but I spend at least a couple of hours a day reading, usually far too late into the night! It's definitely my escape.
I'm looking forward to some of the challenges here - some of them look really interactive which is what caught my attention. I'm looking forward to jumping in - what would be a good starte challenge for a group newbie?
I've decided to call myself (on Goodreads) Maria Spencer. Random name that I chose. I live in Israel and I can see A.another country, or B.outside Israel's terretorial water from my bedroom window.
I'll read almost everything. Right now for instance I am reading: 'The Elements of Style' (non-fic), 'A Tangled Web' (fiction), 'Mister Pip' (fiction), 'The Golem's Eye' (fantasy) and 'Simpy and His Grandmother' (children).
I've done writing challenges, but no reading challenges.
And that's all, I guess!
Welcome new peeps! Laurla the new winter seasonal challenge is about to kick off in a couple of days. The monthlies are fun and were in the process of putting up new 2015 yearly challenges :)
♥You name? (what you would like to be called) Erin♥Where are you from? Massachusetts, United States.
♥Your favorite Genre? I like an array of genres. I'm trying to read more stories as a whole, while still incorporating, and familiarizing myself with genres I already know and love.
♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer? Definitely new!
Welcome to all of you newbies!! I'm so excited that you've decided to join in our challenge craziness. And just in time for the new year madness!
Hello! You can call me Pam^^I'm from Greece, and my favorite genre would probably be Fantasy, but I read pretty much any genre. I'm a newcomer, and I would really like to read more this year, since I didn't have time at all with school, etc.

It's my first challenge and so far I'm looking forward to reading different genres this year, catching up on some classics and getting to know new authors :) My favorite genres are fiction, fantasy, literature from the American South, and crime fiction.

Hi! My name is Katherine (No is not, but I love this name. My real name is Katrina). I am from Lithuania. I am a female. I love books a lot and I love to do many interesting challenges.
Hi! My name is Rosa, I'm thirtyish and from Austria. My favorite genres are (urban) fantasy, some scifi, old fashioned crime... And I love zombies! I'm not really a fan of thriller, chick lit, paranormal romance, hardcore fantasy, history settings and I absolutely loathe elves and fairy courts and the like. I'm a complete newbie with reading challenges, but I'd love to give it a try!
Hi! My name is Alana, I'm from Dallas, Texas. My favorite genre is supernatural/paranormal. I hate Zombies and really anything dystopian or post-apocalyptic. I am a newbie to challenges, but it always looks like such fun when oneof the bloggers I follow post them.
Welcome Alana! I'm from Texas as well :)
Hi. My name is Mary. I'm orginally from PA but now live in OH. I love mysteries, historical, and urban fantasy. I can't stand romances. I've done challenges over the years and am trying out some harder ones lately.This looks like a great group and glad I found it.
Hi, I'm Leslie. I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska. I love a lot of genres but tend to lean towards Christian Thrillers. I'm a newbie to challenges but I have a ton of books on my to read list and I thought having some challenges would help motivate me to read them!

Hey everyone, I'm Stephanie and I live just outside of Vancouver, BC in Canada. I'm so glad I found this group, not many of my local friends are big readers so I'm excited to have a place to chat about the books I'm reading. I like historical fiction, magical realism, memoirs and literary fiction but I'm trying to branch out and read more genres this year. Looking forward to getting to know you all and embarking on a few challenges!
Introduce Yourself!♥You name? (what you would like to be called) I'm Stacie
♥Where are you from? I'm from Maryland where I've lived most of my life.
♥Your favorite Genre? Hmmm. Probably Romance and all the sub-genres that come along with it. Followed by Psych Thriller.
♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer? Is there somewhere in the middle?
Hi, I'm Dreams_of_an_butterfly. I live in the northwest, in a small suburb of Bellvue.I'm an omnivore when it comes to reading books, and will read non-fiction if I like it. But really, I like Fiction more.
This year's challenge is my first, but I have no doubt I'll be able to finish it, as I'm a very quick reader!
Also, I'm an aspiring author (creative!)
So, I guess, hi everyone!
Mod
This is a fun group and we are glad to have you. Jump into challenges and see what others are reading.
