Tink Magoo is bad at reviews (tinkmagoo) | 1390 comments Hello there, I'm Bec from England. I'm mostly here because my to-read list is far too long and I still find it hard to pick a book so I'm hoping someone else picking for me will get that list down! :)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments hi Bec - welcome to the group - we can try to help you with your TBR, but it may get added to ;)


message 2006: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome to the group Bec :) We have lots of ways to get you delving into your TBR pile *rubs hands* but as Dee said, we can't guarantee that new books won't be added!!


message 2007: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Bec! Good luck with your TBR, mine just keeps growing. I am reading lots more though so maybe if I had some self restraint...

Tink Magoo is bad at reviews (tinkmagoo) | 1390 comments I really don't need any encouragement to add more books, you're all going to be a bad influence I can already tell

Sushma S Hello, I am Sushma... I just joined!!! Was looking for some reading challenges for 2016..... Would also need recommendations to get back into the habit of reading.


message 2014: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Hey there Sushma ~ welcome to the group!! Our yearly challenges for 2016 will be going up soon along with next month's challenges.

The next quarterly is also up, but I can't insert a link since I'm tapping away on my phone :)

If you want some new ideas on books, make sure you join the January Pick It For Me - it's great for some new ideas and a bit of a push on books you already have shelved 'to read' :) this challenge is already posted but sign ups will close soon!

MountainKat | 31805 comments Welcome Sushma! Jane gave yo some great ideas! The challenges are perfect for finding the motivation to read more!

The Pick-It-For-Me for January isn't up yet, but will be soon! The quarterly is a great place to get started while you wait for the yearlies and monthlies!

Connie N. | 1319 comments I recently followed Ezi over to this group because I'm a big romance reader and am in love with reading challenges. I'm from Massachusetts, have 4 grown children, and 1 grandson. A few of you may know me already--I'm a mod at the Crazy Challenge Connection. Come on over and join me there if you're a real addict (like me) and can't get enough challenges!

Welcome to the group Connie! I'm sure you will fit right in :D Hope you enjoy our challenges and meeting our members Connie ~ I know you are already in one challenge :)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Connie! Most of us here are big romance readers and challenge lovers - you are going to be right at home! =)


message 2039: by Odie (new)

Odie (odette_fraser) | 2 comments hi. im odette from sydney australia. just joined this group today. i love, love romance books particularly the ugly cry ones...im hoping on getting more recommendations and comments from this group...


message 2040: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome Odette! Hope you love it here as much as the rest of us :) just give us a 'hoi' in any of the threads if you have a question. Everyone is really friendly.

I'd suggest joining the February Pick It For Me if you are looking for recommendations and a bit of chat/poking through others bookshelves. That thread always has some great books and recs. I don't think the Feb thread has been posted yet, but go look through the Jan thread to see how it works :)

(I'm working off my phone, otherwise I'd give you the links :) Have fun!


message 2041: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Odette! I have to be in the right mood for ugly cry books - and make sure I have time to deal with the headache too! But I love romance and the happy endings! I hope you enjoy the group!


message 2042: by SweetSue (new)

SweetSue | 3 comments I've been around Goodreads for about a year, but just joined here. Figured it made sense because I've been on a romance jag for a long while. I'm working on my own personal challenge which is to only read from the library. Should be interesting! We actually have a huge library system so there is plenty of choice, but I should probably get with the paranormal romance thing if I don't want to run out of books! LOL


message 2043: by MountainKat, Moderator (last edited Jan 15, 2016 07:26PM) (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi SweetSue! Welcome to the group - good luck with your library challenge, but you are right adding PNR would probably add a lot to your options. =)


message 2044: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome to the group Sue!! Perhaps you'd better make great friends with the buyers in charge at the library ;) Good luck!


message 2045: by Annie (new)

Annie Hi all . :)
I actually dont remember when i joined this group, but I was thrilled just now to learn that I had ! Just my kind of group :)
I'm 25, going on 26, from Denmark and I am a Registered Nurse, working at the main ICU in the country (And I love it ! ) But to release stress from that life, I read. And I am a sucker for romance novels !

Welcome to the group Annamette! I can totally get on board with reading for downtime when you have a job in ICU! Argh - not sure how you stay sane ;) Hope some of our challenges and chat help you pick that next book.


message 2047: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Annemette! How awesome to have a job you love as well as being a reader to escape from that stress! I hope you enjoy yourself here!

Welcome to the group Virginia!! Now what is a book jar? I can't imagine you can fit books into it! ;)


message 2050: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Virginia - I am unfamiliar with what a book jar is too! I hope you have fun in the group!
