[Shereen]

Hi, I'm new to the group, and an author and a reader. I'm looking forward to getting to know people and take part in some conversations about romance books. I'm from the west coast of Canada and aside from romance novels, my preferences lean toward historical, fantasy and mystery.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Shereen! Hope you enjoy yourself here. Sounds like your reading preferences will fit right in :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Shereen! Hope to see you around the group!

[Shereen]

Thanks for the welcome, Jane (PS) and MountainKat, :)

[Inky]

Hi all! I just joined this group so I'm still trying to learn all of the threads and challenges but I'm excited to complete some! (Hopefully I won't mess anything up. Lol.)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Barbara! Have fun with the challenges and don't worry about messing up - we are all about easy and fun here!

[Inky]

Thank you! I will admit I'm a little lost. So many to choose from! Lol. Any pointers for a beginner?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Barbara! Hope you have a lot of fun with our group :)

I'd suggest starting with one of the levels in the Monthly Challenge here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

or any of the other challenges in that folder :) They repeat each month and it gives you an idea of the sort of challenges we run. We have longer ones too of course, but take your time and look around to see what appeals...

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Jane's suggestions are great and usually what I recommend too! We also have the Twelve in Three Challenge, which is a great way for beginners to see lots of different parts of the group!

[Jody]

Hi my name is Jody, and I love to read! So much so that my family would tell you everything is based around my reading lol. I'm looking forward to trying out the challenges. Sometimes I find it hard to pick my next read so I feel like the challenges will be good for me.

[Claire]

Hi Everyone! I am a long time romance reader but have only recently decided to venture into the world of writing romance. I am new to this group and Goodreads in general and look forward exploring this awesome site. Seriously, how did I not know this existed before now?!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Jody! Welcome to the group. Challenges are great for helping you figure out what to read next! But be warned they are addicting!

Hi C. - I hope you like it here! I love GR and am so glad I discovered it and RRRC! It is great to find so many kindred spirits and fellow book lovers!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Jody and C :D

Jody - I started on the challenges for exactly that reason - to pick which book to read next. When you have a few to choose from (or a LOT) the challenges really help give you some order :)

C - I joined back in 2009 (I think) and even then I wondered why I hadn't found this group/website sooner! At least we all made it!

[Monique]

Hi !monique here just looking for some friends to request books and talk about it so follow me. Bye!

Hi and welcome all newbies to RRRC. I hope you enjoy your stay.

[Anna]

Hi,

I am Anna and new to this group. Not new to GR though, as I have been enjoying myself in the MMRomance Group for a couple of years...

I have lately started (tentatively) reading contemporary MF romance again after a 5 year hiatus, and was looking for a group to help me figure out which ones to pick...

So, hoping I am in the right place :-)

Hey Anna! Welcome to the group :) (Just read your updates in MMR on audiobooks.)

We have a heap of members who swap between MM and MF so I'm sure you'll find some members to help you on your way :)

Having said that I have difficulty finding good MF contemporary romance but I LOVE MM contemporary romance. Go figure!

[Anna]

I have the same issue. I lucked out with the first couple of MF romances I read after my long break, and naively thought that the genre had changed all the stiff that annoyed me way back when. But have since then realised this was obvisouly NOT the case, as the next couple of MF ones have been just the type of stuff I left the genre because of: TSTL needy heroines who can't seem to tie their own shoelaces and sexist jackasses for heroes who makes me want to bitch slap them and get far far away.

So, obviously, I need help sorting the crap ones from the good ones!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

If I could be bothered I'd try reading the sample chapters on Amazon before buying, but I just can't be bothered...

Basically I stick with mostly MM for contemporary and dip my toe in MF when a précis appeals... But some of the MF urban fantasy out there is great :D

We all have different tastes and I guess that's what makes reading so great.

Hi Anna, nice to have you here in this group as well!
Seems like we've the same thoughts on MF romance! ;-)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Anna - I hope you find some good books here. I always find new ideas in the challenges or discussions. Lots of opinions here!

[Anna]

Thanks you guys.

[Groovy]

Hello, Everyone

I'm Groovy. I read anything and everything with words on them. But as regards fiction, I love romance, which would make me a writer too, right? Correct!

One of my goals is to go into a bookstore where they sell old books and buy as many old romance novels (particularly Harlequins & Silhouette) and just read. I love the old stuff.

But until then, I hope to get to know all of you, and hope we can have some good, interactive discussions:)

Thanks!
