[Berit]

Hello everyone! My name is Berit , I live in Southern California with my three amazing children. I love to read, exercise, eat, socialize with my friends, and most of all I love being a mom.! I enjoy most types of books, my current favorites are YA , Historical fiction, dystopian, psychological thrillers, and anything that is filled with love.I have become recently addicted to challenges and really enjoy group challenges, which I noticed you all offer. Looking forward to becoming part of this group!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome, Berit. You've come to the right place if you find challenges addicting. Feel free to jump in. The water's fine.

[Dodo]

Hey!
My name is Iwtumn, I live in a small country in Central Europe (so please forgive any spelling/grammatical mistakes) and I'm new here. ;)
I don't really have a favourite genre, though most of the books that I read fit best into the crime and thriller section and occasionally I'll also grab something fantasy-y. My favourite book is Felidae by Akif Pirinçci. I am not a big fan of Chick Lit and romances (though I love the cheesiness of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries... Take me right back to my teenage years :) ). However, since I am a poor student, I'll read them too if family or friends offer to give them up. In general I'll read pretty much anything I can get my hands on (no matter if it's good or bad... A bad book every now and then adda to my appreciation of the good ones... Or so I tell myself (The truth is that I don't like leaving things unfinished)) and if I understand it I try to read books in their original language.
Since university is taking up most of my time I don't get to read as much as I'd like to anymore (the real reason why I've only finished 5 books so far this year). I am not a challenge-newbie, but I've never done a reading challenge before (I am quite competitive by nature, so if I want to achieve something, finding somebody to race me to it is the way to go for me) and I'm hoping that this will get me back to the books.

Well, I guess that's me!

[❀~Amy~❀]

Hello everyone. I'm Amy and I live in NC. I mainly read M/M books (with the odd M/F book thrown in occasionally) and have been doing the challenges over at the M/M group for a while now. Looking forward to joining in here.

Hi Iwtumn. Glad to have you here. I'm a romance reader but it's nice to have diversity as a lot don't read romances here. Do you like challenges? Join us.

Hi, I am Deb and I live in Olympia, WA. I am new to this group so any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Lately I have been into cozy mysteries, usually in a series format, I like to really get to know the characters over a period of time.

But, I do look over reviews and read anything that looks interesting on the New Releases or Best Sellers lists.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hi Deb!
Welcome to the group. I find the best way to get to meet people is to join a challenge like Dusty Bookshelf or Finish What you started. We also have a lot of other challenges that are interactive.

We have a Buddy Read section which is fun, you should probably start there. It's a place to find a "buddy" to read the same book and you guys discuss the book as you read along.

[Deb]

thank you, will start there.

[Minerva]

Hi I'm Melissa (Minerva) from Northern California, Corning, a small town about 2 hours north of Sacramento. I love challenges, they help me read those books that have been lying around my shelves forever. I mostly read the MM genre. I'm an accountant but am currently off on disability and enjoying my 2 children.

[Jenne]

Welcome Melissa!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I love challenges for the same reason. I'd be stuck in a rut otherwise. Hope you find a challenge that helps you find some great books. And welcome to The Challenge Factory.

[Debbie Hayes]

Hello I'm Debbie. I live just outside Boston. My favorite genre is sci-fi/fantasy with YA as a close second. I'm a challenge addict for sure. I'm looking forward to some new challenges.

[Jenne]

Great to have you Debbie!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome to The Challenge Factory, Debbie. Be sure to check out the Science Fiction and Fantasy challenge in the Odds and Ends folder. It's a fantastic creation from one of our members.

Hi Debbie, you will find lots of various genres mentioned in this group. Check out the Buddy read threads and see if anyone is reading a book you want to read

[Angie Elle]

Hello! I'm Angie, and I'm from Maine, U.S.A. I was directed here by a friend when she found out I was looking for a challenge. I've never participated in one before, but I'm excited to give it a go!

I'll read anything that has some romance in it, but I'm trying to branch out into other genres as well.

[Jenne]

Welcome Angie!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hi Angie. You probably want to add a moniker because there are a couple of Angie's.
Welcome to TCF. Join challenges.

[Angie Elle]

Thank you! :)

I have added to my name in an effort to distinguish myself from the other Angies!

[Holli]

♥You name? (what you would like to be called)
Holli

♥Where are you from?
Texas

♥Your favorite Genre?
I read all over the place in genre. I read fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thrillers, etc. Within the last year I got started on military non-fiction (memoir-type, like Lone Survivor, 13 Hours, No Easy Day, American Sniper) due to a friend who is former Navy and recommended several to me. I find them incredibly fascinating.

♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer?
I'm not really sure how I'd classify myself when it comes to challenges. I just enjoy them as they make reading kind of like a scavenger hunt for me.

♥Any thing else you would like to share!
I enjoy writing and my characters spend most of their time talking to me or driving me mad. More often than not at the same time. :-) And I'm really happy to have found and joined Goodreads. It's a fun place.

[Jenne]

Welcome Holli you have some fellow Texans around here :)

[Paris]

Welcome Holli!!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Glad you decided to join us, Holli. I know you'll have fun here.

[Holli]

Thanks! :)

♥You name? Dre

♥Where are you from? MA

♥Are you a pro at challenges or a newcomer? newcomer, sorta I have done challenges in some other groups though not many

♥Any thing else you would like to share: I live with my bf of almost 13 years, and we have two puppies, a mini schanuzer Maximillion and a schnoodle Gabriella. Besides books, I love movies, sports, and music.
