Hi. My name is Rachel and I love to read romance novels. Err not sure what else to write.

MountainKat | 31793 comments Welcome Rachel! You found the right place - we love romance too! That and reading challenges are addictions for most all of us! =)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Rachel :) You have the main requirement sorted out for this group, so there's no real need to write anything else!

Breann | 398 comments Hi Rachel! You'll fit right in over here! Welcome to the group :)

Mary Mooney Hello all, I'm Mary and I live in south Mississippi and own a farm raising chickens. When not working I read all kinds of romance books. It is my passion. So thankful for all the writers.

Breann | 398 comments Hi Mary! Welcome, hope you enjoy your time in the group :)

Heather Runkle-smith | 4 comments Hi everyone. My names Heather and I joined this group because reading romance novels is my guilty pleasure and I'm always looking for new authors/suggestions to read. I have 4 kids so making time to read can be a challenge, but I find at least 1/2 an hour everyday. I hope to complete some challenges soon! Thanks for including me in your group! :)

Lori Giampa | 5 comments Hi Everyone! I'm an avid reader...while I read mostly Romance, I have been known to venture out to reading Mystery & Suspense; Biographies & Autobiographies; Fantasy and Thrillers. I also enjoy reading Erotica. All though I haven't done much recently & I don't have anything published, I consider myself to be a writer. I do have a diploma in Journalism/Short Story Writing & hope to some day get that first novel written. Happy reading everyone!

message 616: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (goodloek) I am addicted to romance novels. I like getting everyone's take on different plot elements. I teach high school English and I love to look for plot twists to share with students for their own writing.


message 617: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Kristin. Plot twists? Hmmm... I need to think on this, regarding the interesting plot twists that I've come across. Some romances follow very standard formats, other really jump out at you. But my brain isn't working very well today ;)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Alba~Mae!! Nothing goes better with coffee than a good romance novel IMHO - unless it is surfing my groups on goodreads...? Don't be shy in joining a challenge - we love new friends here :)

I think the monthly challenge is a great place to start and there is still some time left in June to read a few! The Pick-It-For-Me Challenge is also a lot of fun, sign ups for July will go up in a few days! The quarterly challenge still has a long ways to go so there is plenty of time to jump in there. And if you like audiobooks, the new audiobook challenge will start July 1 - look for it to be posted later this week too!

Feel free to ask questions too, everyone here is real nice!


message 624: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments What MKat said ;) I started with the monthly challenge when I first joined but then quickly joined heaps more - you can use the same books in each of the challenges (if they fit) unless the challenge rules prohibit the double-up, but I can't think of any challenge that does that at the moment :)

Breann | 398 comments Hi Alba~Mae! Welcome :)

Hi Everyone,

I am Shauna. I joined the group to find other people who enjoy books as much as I do.

I am new to the GoodReads website. I think this site is awesome! I am hoping to find some friends with similar reading interests. It will be fun to get to know others, share book recommendations and discuss books with. :)


message 627: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Shauna and welcome! Joining the challenges is a great way to get new ideas for reading and finding people who enjoy the same types of books as you! I hope you have fun here!


message 628: by Breann (new)

Breann | 398 comments Hi Shauna! Welcome to the group & GR! It's a great place to be, hope you enjoy your time here :)


message 629: by Runell (new)

Runell Hello, my name is Runell. I've always loved to read and will read (almost) anything. I do, however, like a majority of my books to have some kind of romance in them even if it's just a little . . . it makes everything better, in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to getting to know new people, finding new authors, and, of course, reading. :)


message 630: by Diane (new)

Diane | 891 comments Hi, I'm Diane. Have been obsessively reading for years now and although I am really enjoying M/M Romance books at this time, I have a lot of other books in my TBR list and I am looking for some motivation to switch things up a bit. I adore doing the challenges in the other group so am looking forward to adding some from the RRRC to give me that extra boost.


message 631: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Runell and Diane! Welcome to the group! The challenges are a great way to get books OFF the TBR pile, unfortunately they are also a great way too ADD books too! =)

Breann | 398 comments Hi Runell & Diane! Welcome! :)


message 633: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Shauna, Runell and Diane! So pleased you joined our group - there is lots to keep you busy and well-stocked on your book line-up :) ...And as MKat mentioned, almost *too* well-lined up ;)


message 634: by Daisy (new)

Daisy Severing | 1 comments Hi all, My name is Daisy and i am a real bookaholic. I love to read NA/Romance Books, but any book that looks interesting, i will give a try. I like to do challenges and giving reviews.

message 639: by Christina (new)

Christina | 3 comments Hi, I'm Christina. I just joined GR and I am really excited. I dare say I was tricked into reading a romance novel at a book sale two years ago and I went down the rabbit hole! I'm looking forward to any and all recommendations, challenges, and figuring out all the acronyms. Cheers!

message 643: by Carrigan (new)

Carrigan Fox | 19 comments Hello! I teach high school English and have been a closet romance reader since I was a teenager. As I age, I'm coming out of the closet a bit more in that I'm now writing romance novels and can argue the finer literary points of the genre.

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi ♥ Marienna ♥ and Carrigan!! Welcome to the group! I hope you have fun, just jump right in - we don't bite, I promise!
