Laura | 1 comments hello I'm laura. I love to read. I joined this group because I enjoy reading romance books, Also I have never joined a book club or group before so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out.

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome Laura! I hadn't been in a book 'club' prior to joining goodreads, but the beauty of the groups here is that you can read whatever you like and get a heap of encouragement doing it (eg finishing a challenge or just sharing your thoughts) - day or night, 24/7 :)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Lol - yup, there is a heap if stuff here ;)

Welcome Ana~Marie!! ...I started with the monthly challenge and read the month but really ppl start all over the place. Since we are only about a month into our Quarterly Challenge, in this quarter I would suggest you start there. It is a challenge that takes you all over this group, selecting books in a heap if different threads. It is great for a newby!!

Unfortunately I can't give you a link since I'm on my phone - but it is the current quarterly under the quarterly challenge heading...

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Ana~Marie, Karen and Jennifer! And welcome! I'll read just about anything too, as long as there is romance and a happy ending - those are requirements for me!!

Here are some great ones to get you started with:

Twelve in Three Challenge - a great starter challenge!

Roaming Around the RRRC Quarterly Challenge - still almost two months to go, lots of time!

2014 August Monthly Challenge - the monthly was where I started! Begins August first. =)

August Pick It For Me Challenge - a group favorite! Sign-ups open until the 24th, just read the opening post and feel free to ask questions if you have them!

Kat DeSalle | 1 comments Hello Everyone! I'm Kat, and I am a romance junkie. I love reading a great story with a good romance. I'll read anything from paranormal romance to chick-lit. I love it all. My love for romance stories has led me to writing them, so now I get to live our my passion on paper. I'm looking forward to getting some great recommendations, and participating in discussions. :)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome Genevieve! GR and its groups opened another whole dimension in my life - much to my husband's disgust! 'Him: 'What are you doing, Janie?' Me: 'just chatting on GRs'. Him 'Again?!?!' Me: 'yes, they're my friends!' Him: 'you need to get off that computer... *Grumble, grumble* ...bad for your eyes... *grumble*'

:D

Hi Roger! Romance makes the world go around - well, perhaps a scientist wouldn't agree with me, but it makes me feel good! I know you are already in the World Cup challenge - great to see you jumping in feet first :)

Pamela Su (thebluebaroness) | 194 comments Ooh, I forgot to say hi.

Shelby told me about the World Cup challenge which I found fascinating, so I joined. :)

I like reading romance of most flavors. Been reading romance since I was 12-years-old when my aunt gave me some old Mills & Boons to read (even though my mom tried to hide them from me).

I also read non-romances on occasion like sci-fi and fantasy.

Hey there Pamela Su - great to see you over here :) Mills & Boon were my first romances as well - but the US members here know them better as Harlequins :) When I referenced them recently I had someone ask me who Mills and Boon were? - which characters ala Ty & Zane or Kate & Curren? ...Ah, not from a book - Harlequin :D

Good luck in the World Cup challenge!

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Pamela Su! I hope you enjoy the tournament and some of the other challenges too!

A.L. Goulden (algoulden) Hi everyone! My "To Read" list is so long and keeps getting longer... I can't wait to add more recommendations. I'm a full time art director in film and television as well as an Author of Romance (of the erotic nature)... I've bit off a lot, just like my list. ;)


message 1350: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Welcome A.L.! I hope you find what you are looking for here - I love this group!
