Oh part of what I wrote was deleted!
I like to read pretty much anything, and if there is romance... That's perfect! I love classics as well as contemporary, I don't really like paranormal (vampires, werewolves and things like that)..
It's the first time I join a challenge group, so I'm super excited!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

That's weird that your posted got cut off.
I agree, if there is romance...That's perfect!

Be sure to ask one of us moderators if you have any questions.

[Athena]

Hello I'm Athena from Canada. I enjoy reading mysteries, thrillers, paranormal and young adult books. I do like to try other genres as well but those are my go too's.

I have tried one another book challenge before and never really made it, so I am relatively new to this and hoping to definitely reach my goal this year or even go over. I love reading but haven't had a lot of time and now I'm making sure to make the time!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Hi Athena,
Take your time and enjoy the books. I do reading challenges for fun.
Welcome to TCF and check out the buddy read thread for reading partners

Hi, Brenna! We have a few challenges in our Semi-Annual folder that are catered to Sci-Fi interests, so hopefully you'll find something interesting to work through!

[Jagadeeshwari]

Hi all. I'm Jai from India and I like fantasy ,supernatural ,paranormal ,historic fiction ,Gothic,horror ,thriller,etc but I hate nonfiction . I read fiction bcoz It is a personal solace for me from the harsh reality so I hate anything but fiction. Reading has started as timepass,fun ,habit ,addiction and then now It has ended as a basic necessity for my survival . I need books asmuch as I need air and water.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome to The Challenge Factory, Jai.

If you like gothic stories, you should check out the Go Gothic challenge in the Mini Challenges folder. There are many other challenge that are specific to your preferences, but there are also some generic ones as well. Enjoy!

[Jen]

I'm Jen (yeah, I know, you've got 100 of them. My mom thought she was being original. Seriously) and I LOVE this group! I have taken a look at these challenges and I wish I would have found this group first instead of joining so many other groups, because now I know people in a few other groups and don't want to leave, but this is like....SO addictive! I have limited myself to one challenge so far because I am involved in several others in my other groups, but I know I'm going to be joining lots more! And as a former English professor (I'm retired for now) can I say I am THRILLED to see so much creativity! You guys are awesome!

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Hi, I'm Erica. I live in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois. I'm a total newcomer to this kind of challenge. My favorite genres are biographies, historical fiction, mysteries, some fantasy and young adult. I have a ton of hobbies, so I struggle to keep up with my reading. I am working on learning Italian, so I try to read my young adult books in Italian when possible. I have two grown kids, a wonderful stepson, two daughters-in-law and a grandson who is the love of my life. Other interests include playing the piano, running, doing yoga, meditation, stitching and knitting. And baking bread. I bake all of our bread.

[⚜️XAR]

[Jessica]

Hey I'm Jessi. I'm originally from Chicago, but I moved to Phoenix,AZ a few years ago. I really enjoy reading sci-if and fantasy, especially after Ender's Game and The Giver. I'm new to challenges, and I am relatively new to GR. Someone introduces me to GR on a book amino book club, and I decided to check it out.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Welcome Jessica
My husband is big into SciFi. I watch the movies after HE reads the book, lol.
I'm from Chicago and I'm going there tomorrow to visit family

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Hey, Jessica. Welcome to The Challenge Factory. I live in Phoenix, too.

If you like sci-fi and fantasy, you should check out the 'Science Fiction and Fantasy Challenge' in the Odds and Ends folder. One of our members made it. She did an excellent job.

[Chloe]

Hi! I'm Chloe, I'm French, I live in Rouen where I teach english. I really love books and reading. I'm quite talkative and of course I love discussing books. I particularly like fiction, romance, YA, romance and classics. I'm not a pro at challenges but I love them and always try to set some for myself but it seems more effective and so much more fun on GR! I try/tried to create a group but I don't know anyone / have any friend on GR so… Then, I discovered the challenge factory and here I am :) I hope to find cool challenges and to meet other book lovers.

Welcome! I'm new here too, but people seem awfully helpful and friendly so I'm sure you'll fit in. I love YA too. I am trying to learn Italian and read my YA in Italian when I can (with an English translation at hand to check against, of course). I plan to start The One and Only Ivan on Friday for a summer camp challenge. Also currently re-reading all of the Little House on the Prairie books.

Hi Erica! Thank you, indeed the people seem friendly! Trying to read in italian to learn it that's great! Keep doing that and I'm sure you soon won't need the translation :)

[Dee]

Hi there, I'm Dee (short for Doreen), born and raised in the UK. I work as a librarian in a Higher Education College.
Since graduating from university I've thrown myself back into reading for pleasure. I love being on Goodreads and meeting like minded people.
I enjoy an assortment of genres but have a strong preference for PNR and YA. I enjoy doing challenges and discovered after creating a yearly planner of books TBR that I'd committed myself to 6-8 books a month (my average is 5) so may have to hold off adding new challenges (tempting as they are) unless they fit books already on my list.
When I'm not surfing the net, researching genealogy or spending time with family I'm trying to get fit, last but not least I'm a big, big trekkie fan Please feel free to add me as friend.

[⚜️XAR]

Welcome, everyone! We're so glad to have you here! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM a Mod! Our July newsletter is up, so it would be a great place for you to start looking at our challenges, even if you may not be participating in many of them!

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Welcome to The Challenge Factory, Wayne. I'm so glad that we had a team challenge about to begin for you. I hope you have fun!

[Cindy]

Hi, my name is Cindy and I'm from Virginia. I'm single and just turned 40 yesterday, and I'm a fur-mama to my sweet four-legged baby girl, Mollywobbles, named after Molly Weasley from Harry Potter of course. I won't say I have a favorite genre; basically, if it has words in it, I'll read it. I go through phases though where I'll read nothing but true crime for 6 months, or nothing but romance. I'm not really a newcomer to challenges but I'm not a pro either. I've done a few here and there and I enjoy them so I'm looking to do more.

OOH! I've been wanting to re-read those myself! Care to do a buddy read together?

Also, welcome to the group! I'm sure you'll find lots of challenges that appeal to you...I've kinda already suggested one! Let me or the rest of the mod team know if you have any questions!

I've never done a buddy read before, but I'd love to do it with the Little House books with you. You can teach me! lol
