Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion
Introduce Yourself

Just joined? Drop in and say Hi!
Hi, Anna, welcome as well. Was the old stuff you read Harlequin or Silhouette? I had some favorite authors who wrote for them and they always put the women in respectful positions. I know what you mean though, sometimes I ran across a very weak woman and an overbearing Alpha male.

Welcome to the group Groovy! Great to have you here, and hope you find heaps of books to chat about.
This is a good thread to see what members are reading: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., but otherwise, all the challenges welcome chat about the books being read :)
Just remember that some members are time poor, and often 'post and run' ;)
Hi Groovy! Jane gave you some excellent tips. I hope you have fun in the group!
Hey All! I'm Lynne and I just joined GoodReads. I'm a little (ok, a lot) addicted to reading, especially romance. Always looking for new ideas about what/who to read. Looking forward to meeting more of you. I'd love to meet new 'friends' and learn what you're reading!

Hi. I'm Dawn, it's hard to believe I use to hate reading. About 8 years ago I picked up a Janet Evanovich book, and I haven't stopped reading since. I'm truly addicted. I love love love to read!
hi Dawn welcome to the group - seems like Janet Evanovich would be a good gateway drug to get people back into reading ;) hope you have fun in the group - just jump on it!

I love love love to read!"Welcome to the group Dawn :) I think I can blame Harry Potter for my renewed interest in reading! I loved that series so much and then realised that there were so many great books out there that weren't what I found in KMart or Target (our variety stores in Australia)! Of course, goodreads and this group helped enormously in picking out the best ones to read ;)
I am liking goodreads, but I haven't quite figured all out yet. Like now when I try to reply to someone, I'm not sure if they see it or not

If you want someone to see the reply, click on the reply text at the base of the person's comment - this will include part of the original comment in your comment, like mine is shown in message 1869. They should then get a notification of your comment :) *i think* ;)
Hello, I'm Liz. I joined because I have too many books on my 'to read' shelf and a hard time choosing what to read next.
R.J. - your comment has been deleted as it contained some self-promo and that is only allowed in the Promotion folder.
Welcome Liz! Challenges are a great way to figure out what is next to read - they help me all the time! But be warned, challenges are addicting and before you know it you will be participating more and more! =P

RichardI'll weigh in and then i'm deleting your second post - because you were asked to not self-promote and that is what you have done. If you scroll to the top of this page of the thread, you will see there I have deleted multiple self-promotion comments - it has been requested by the mods (and I am one) that this thread is for intro's only. We have a self-promotion thread, if you decide to post there. While you ascertain that others have promoted - none of the number of posts you link correspond to posts in this thread, I will investigate those and see however and if they are inappropriate, they will be deleted.
Hello. I'm R J Gould and have joined this group to share reading and writing experiences
Hello, I'm Emmie and while I am not new to GR, I am new to groups. I joined this group because I love to read, but with such a huge TBR list, I sometimes read in fits and starts. I like the idea of a challenge to help focus my reading.
Welcome to the group Emmie :) I think a lot of us are in the same boat - so much to read but nowhere to start ;) Hope the challenges help.
Welcome to the group RJ :) Feel free to chat about what you are reading. The best spot is in the What Are You Reading thread, here
Welcome R.J. and Emmie! I hope you enjoy the group!
This group is growing--welcome, everyone!
Hi everyone I'm kaitlin but alot of people call me Kate. I love to read. My mom used to call me libby the librarian cause i would read so much. One of my favorite authors is Nicholas Sparks.

Welcome Kaitlin - I'll never remember to call you Kate, I'll admit that now! I hope you enjoy the group, challenges are a great way to feed your reading addiction!
Welcome to the group Kaitlin :) as MKat said, we all just use our post names since that is waaaay easier ;) we could try calling you Libby the Librarian, but I have the memory of a goldfish would just as likely remember it as Rita the Reader ;) have fun here!
Hello! I'm Anabel, i'm very glad to join this group, hope to improve my reading skills. :)

Welcome, Groovh. I am new here too. Unlike you though, I hate the old stuff. I sometimes read it for purely sentimental reasons, but they make me soooo angry and I get pissed off that this was the expression of female sexuality (or lack thereof) that I got presented with in my teenage years...
Lol rant over, sorry!
