Tracey Hi everyone! I'm Tracey. I'm an author or YA Sci-fi with a little romance, because what fun is a book without it? I'm always looking for my next great read in the romance genre and I hope being part of this group and seeing all of your reviews and recs can help me sift through down to the good stuff :)

Ben Starling (ben-starling) Hi, I am new on Goodreads and would be pleased to meet new friends here with similar tastes.

I particularly love a good love story. Love makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

Looking forward to your recommendations!

Best,
Ben

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Ben! Welcome to the group! The challenges are a great way to find new books, in fact we just started a new one that would be great for someone new to RRRC! Here is the link:

Twelve in Three Challenge


message 1158: by Donna (new)

Donna Marie (fictionwoman) | 2 comments I love romance books,especially the books that also have a strong family premise behind the story, which is the type of books which I write. I wish that I had time to read more often than I do. Since I also write novels which happen to be romantic, I have to find the time for both reading and writing. Now that the following book is published, I'll catch up on some reading! Gracie Mae, A Story of Courage and Love

Lily (lilygcs) Hi, I'm Lily and while I'm new to this group I've been a member of Goodreads since 2009. I read primarily m/m romance and love reading challenges. I've been hearing about your group from a few members of the m/m romance group so thought I'd join the fun here.

Tammie | 2031 comments This is my first electronic reading club...I'm looking forward to it. I love romance novels with a twist. My favorite authors are Linda Howard, Julie Garwood, Suzanne Elizabeth Phillips, Suzanne brockmann, Julie James and Diana gabaldon. I've read every book these authors have written and need to pick up a few new ones.


message 1175: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Tammie! I love some of your favorites too, especially SEP and Julie James! Just jump right into some of the challenges - they are a great place to discover new authors and books!


message 1176: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Tammie! I love the twist as well, but I tend to go for the paranormal twist ;)

Courtney Giardina | 1 comments Hi All! My name is Courtney. I joined this group because I love to read and write romance. Lately I feel like I've been doing so much writing I'm slacking a little on the reading part. I thought joining this group would help me find some good reads to pick back up again!


message 1180: by MountainKat, Moderator (last edited Apr 08, 2014 07:47AM) (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Welcome Courtney! I find way too many books to read from what others are reading in the challenges! I hope to see you around in a few of them!

message 1184: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi my name is Mary and I just joined. I live in Texas and have a beautiful daughter and two handsome grandsons that I love with all my heart.

I love romance books especially harlequin presents books but I promise not to read any of them for here as I belong to another group for that.

Thanks for having me
Mary


message 1185: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Mary, welcome to the group! We don't care which books you read for the challenges here - as long as they work for you and the challenges too! Hope to see you around!


message 1186: by [deleted user] (new)

I just think it is cheating. lol. I have already read like 23 of them there. I read a lot. I am disabled so stay at home a lot so it really should be a problem.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I am going to work on the yearly series challenge that should do it for me.. lol


message 1187: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome to the group Mary!!

As Kat said you can read any genre books for our challenges (although we do encourage romance of course ;). We end up going in so many challenges that the 'new' challenge is to double-up as many books as possible!

Enjoy :)


message 1188: by Mik (new)

Mik Hi I am MIK I love to read- especially romance- so that Is why I joined this group :)

message 1191: by Fiza (last edited Apr 15, 2014 03:02AM) (new)

Fiza Hi everyone, just joined. Most of the books I read have a romantic element I them so I could not, not join this group :)

I read a lot, but I want more challenging aspects to it, to help me read books I might have skipped otherwise. Think this group is just right for that ;)


message 1192: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi again Fiza! I think you have found the right place! I know this group has expanded my reading options exponentially. With the suggestions from others, finding books to fill a certain spot in a challenge or just seeing what others are reading and talking about - I have read many, many books I would never have even heard about before finding this group! I hope you have fun here!


message 1193: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Fiza - you look like you NEED us ;) LOL. Hope you have as much fun here as we do!

Loirainne (kawaiiloi) | 2 comments hi! I'm Lorainne and I'm a great lover of romance. I've tried to do some writing myself but poetry is all I can manage. Thanks for having me! ^O^

MountainKat | 31793 comments Hi Loirainne! Welcome, I hope you have a good time in the group!


Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 731 comments Hey Ya'll! I'm Becky, a newbie to Goodreads. I LOVE reading and romance (especially historical) is a favorite genre of mine. I dabble in writing, but haven't published, but I'm hopeful.

My hubby gave me a Nook for Christmas and I'm working toward filling the memory, although I do miss having books on a REAL shelf. Lol! I look forward to making new friends and reading buddies!


message 1198: by Buttoncounter (new)

Buttoncounter I read as much as I can, which isn't much being a SAHM. The nice thing about my smut novels, is that I can usually get through one in less than a week if it isn't attention grabbing, and a night if it is good.

I am a closet smut reader; meaning, that not many of my friends or family know that I read them. I am still kind of timid about letting people 'know'. lol.

I have 2 kindles, and a ton of romance novels hidden in closets, dresser drawers, under cushions, under the couch, and in the crock pot. Ha! I am looking forward to meeting a few of y'all.


message 1199: by Ruth (new)

Ruth Clements Just joined and I'm trying to find a book I read years and years ago (~1991 or earlier) and I'm not sure if Danielle Steel is the author, but I think she is. I think the main character was a wealthy disturbed woman named Sloan(e?) who lived in a big city (NYC?) and was addicted to anonymous sex...she'd lock eyes with a stranger and he'd follow her to some secluded spot and they'd have a quickie (can't believe I read this when I was a young teen but that's what comes of volunteering at the local library!). Anyway - this is where I might be mixing two books - but as I recall she ends up in Mexico or South America and pulls this routine with a matador. They end up having a sordid affair and he becomes physically abusive. Eventually she escapes back to America to...her husband? and maybe she's famous because I think there are paparazzi at the airport when she returns. Anyone??
