Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome to the group Jo! Sounds like you will have a massive year in 2015!! Good luck :)


message 1602: by Jo (new)

Jo Grafford (jografford) Thank you, Jane. I've learned to set steep writing goals and push myself. Otherwise...ahem...well, you don't want to know how much time I could spend reading romance novels and watching Big Bang Theory, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Castle, NCIS, etc. Wishing you an amazing 2015 as well!

Darcie Just finished the mason list. Soooo good and it's a standalone.

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Diane, Melissa, Jo and Snowy! Welcome to the group! Sounds like you are all going to fit in here!

Snowy, a great way to try to read the books you already have is to do some of the challenges! Going through your shelves to find books that fit a spot, you may discover some gems that get lost in the shuffle!

Darcie Snowy. The Mason List by S.D. Hendrickson or Me Before You by Jo Jo Moyes. My two top favorites.

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome to the group Snowy! A lot of us use the challenges (as Kat suggested) to work out which book to read next - and in doing so, you see a whole heap of books that you hadn't come across on other members' lists. And if you are intrigued by someone's list, go have a 'bo-peep' at their bookshelves or use the 'compare books' feature to check out what other books on their shelves may be of interest :)

I'm going to be closing sign-ups soon (on Saturday US EST) in the Meet & Greet Challenge - this is a great challenge if you want to knock off books from your TBR but have trouble working out which ones - the members pick them for you and you do the same in return... Here's the link for more information: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


Angela (Reading Frenzy Book Blog) (asullivn) Hi! I'm Angela and I just joined GR. I'm an avid reader but romance is my favorite genre. I'm glad I found this group so I can share my thoughts on books I've read and discover new favorites! Can someone please tell me how to post a book's cover with links to the book's pages? Thanks!!

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Hi Angela! Welcome to the group :)

To add a bookcover or link:
* Click on the add book/author
* Type in the book title and click search
* When the results come up, down the bottom of the box you can select whether to show the link or the bookcover.
* Click on add
Voila - your bookcover or link is added to your post.

Hope this is what you were looking for :)

Arys (readeatlove) Hi Everyone! I'm Arys and just joined GR. I'm excited to join this group so I can talk to others who enjoy reading Romances as much as I do. I can't wait to do the reading challenges and find new books to read, as well as the buddy reads. Have a wonderful day!

CallMeVal (valeriec62) | 0 comments Hi everyone! I've been speaking to a friend and have been advised to change my real name to an alias because of...well...a bunch of things so I am now...RangerGirl (it's because of my love of all things Texas Rangers).

Just wanted everyone to know in case you see RangerGirl instead of Valerie so...

Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

•♥•Tina•♥• Hello everyone! My name is Cristina, I am 20 and live in Illinois. I absolutely love reading, pretty much anything with romance but sometimes other genres too. I read any kind of romance novel but mainly contemporary, 2 of my favs are On Dublin Street (On Dublin Street, #1) by Samantha Young and Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1) by E.L. James . I am in the process of my first challenge and I am loving it so I decided I wanted more!! :)


message 1638: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Cristina - welcome to the group! It sounds like you are going to fit right in, I hope to see you in some challenges!

I adore all of the On Dublin Street books, I keep thinking the next one can't possibly be as good as the last but Samantha Young never lets me down!
