[The bookish_magpie]

Hi all, my name is Aja and I'm from the UK. I love reading a wide range of genres but my favourites are fantasy, paranormal and young adult. I am fairly new to the idea of book challenges but they sound like so much fun and I like the way they make reading more of a sociable and interactive experience. I am looking forward to joining in!

[VampAmber]

Welcome to all the new members. ^_^ Hugs to anyone that want them (I am such a hug wh*re, even in real life). I've only been here a month, but I'm already in love with the place. I'm sure you guys will all be, too.

[Jenne]

You know Dee, you're a lot sweeter about sharing your books than you are your house and car LOL.

The Dells, just opened a zombie thing. Bad news is, I never get close enough to go to "the dells".

Friendliest people I have met on vacation, next to Hawaiians

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome to The Challenge Factory, Dee.

[Dee]

Thanks Lanelle!!

The friendliest people I've met, I used to think were the Germans, now I think it's the Australians.

Next time I go to "the Dells", I'll have to pay attention.

[Courtney]

Hello,

My name is Courtney. I've been apart of this group for a few weeks but am now decided to post.

My favorite genre is fantasy. Preferably young adult. I feel like a lot of adult fantasy is the exact same thing over and over again. Just different names and slightly different rules for how the creatures act. I have found a few exceptions. Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles being one of them.

My least favorite genre is romance then followed by "a 40 something woman found herself in a cat in a journal" type of books.

I'm new to challenges this year. I started Bookriots read harder challenge and look forward to joining in other challeneges here.

[Amy]

Hi everyone :D I'm new at Goodreads :) My name is Amy and I'm from Germany. My English is okay. I can understand what you're saying and try to answer without mistakes (but please don't laugh if I say something wrong. I try my best :)) I would love to live in England one day (I lived there when I was younger but it was for a short time and I couldn't understand a word and I miss this country...My favourite genre is fantasy. I started only one book challenge once so I'm a newcomer :D
I wanted to say something but I forgot it so that's all :D

[Penni]

Welcome Courtney and Amy. This is a fun group. Lots to do here!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Courtney and Amy, welcome to The Challenge Factory. Penni is right; there is much to do here. Be sure to look in the Odds are Ends section for the Science Fiction and Fantasy challenge. It's a lot of fun.

[Holly]

Hi everyone, I'm Holly! I live in New Hampshire with my fiance and my dog, Gumble (full name Barney Gumble). My two favorite genres are horror and YA. I'm very new to challenges. I love love love to read and want to make more time to do it, so I'm hoping the challenges will help push me along!

Hi holly.
Grumble---that's cute. My husband won't let us get a dog. He's about "no germs"

[Holly]

Oh no! I love dogs, I've been waiting my whole life for one of my own. We finally rescued him in November 2014. What about a hypoallergenic breed? They shed a lot less and are a bit cleaner!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

We had a dog but my husband says they bring dirt etc into the house. It's all animals etc

[Holly]

When I couldn't have a dog in college, I started volunteering at the local animal shelter!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Holly, you should take a look at the Honorable Pets challenge in the Odds & Ends section. Welcome to The Challenge Factory, by the way.

[Holly]

Thank you Lanelle, I will go check it out right now!

[Kimmy]

Hi Everyone!!
My name is Kimberly but go by Kimmy. I'm from Virginia and when I'm not commuting to and from work I have my nose stuck in my Kindle. I'm a fan contemporary romance, erotica, PNR, New Adult and any books with rockers, MC, and athletes.

[Penni]

Welcome Kimmy.

I'm a commuter also. The reading I get done is by audio - a good majority when I'm commuting and doing chores. Very little Kindle time anymore.

Lots of fun stuff to do in this group. Have fun!

[Terry]

Hello...I'm Terry and reside in Northern Maine. I have three beautiful children age 4, 6, & 15 and I work as an RN on an inpatient child/adolescent psychiatric unit. I LOVE reading...it's my escape, my coping skill per say. As far as what genres I enjoy, It depends on my mood. I pretty much read the whole gamete but particularly enjoy romance, historical romance, horror, thriller, sci fi etc. I'm new to the whole challenge thing but figure why not!!!

[Jenne]

Welcome to TCF new peeps!

Hello to all our new members!

[Shawna]

Hi everyone. My name is Shawna, and I live in Vermont with my Husband, and my two feline fuzzy boys (11 & 8). I have 3 grown kids (27,28,31), and 1 grandson (8). My favorite genres are contemporary fiction, memoirs, and chick-lit. I am a newcomer to challenges, and am looking forward to seeing how it goes. I've always been an avid reader, but in about 2002 I got really sick, and I found that I couldn't read very long before I started feeling nausea. At my best I was reading about 40(ish) books a year, at my worst (2010), I read only 3. Little-by-little I've been able to increase the amount I'm reading again... last year was 21 books. This year I'm hoping to read 24, which will include the monthly challenge(s) I signed up for here. Good luck to you all!!!

[Jenne]

Welcome Shawna! Have you tried an audiobook? They might help vs reading a physical or ebook?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hi Kimmy, Booksaway, Terry and Shawna. WE are excited to have you guys in the group!

Kimmy--I love audiobooks. I went from all ebooks to 75%audio

Booksaway--I have never been to Canada despite living in Syracuse. Actress, huh? That's cool. I can tell people I knew you before you blew up!

Terry--my husband did residency at Mass General. IT's freaking cold. I'm glad to be back in Texas. I am on an HR kick with the fairy tale challenges. Our bonus word is Castle. So you know there are lots of pirates and castles in HR.

Shawna, I agree with Jenne, try audio books. Or if you have kindle use the text-to-speech feature! I hope you get much much better

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome to The Challenge Factory, Shawna. I hope you find a challenge that you can have fun with.
