Hi Angelina! Things here can be as involved or as simple as you want and everyone is super friendly! I hope you have fun here!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

What Kat said ;) Welcome to the group Angie!! Hope you find some great books to read in amongst these threads :D

[Angelina]

Thanks! Will definitely check out the recommended books.

[Krista]

Hey All! My name is Krista and I'm a read-a-holic. Looks like this might be a good group for me because I'm always looking for a good read. Looking forward to seeing what everyone's reading.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Krista, welcome to the group! I think the challenges are a great place to find out what others are reading, but they can be a bit addictive! =P

Welcome to the group Krista! Read-a-holics and this group can be a darn dangerous mix! Make sure you have a great library or watch your credit card statement soar!! (My fate was the latter ;)

[Candace]

Hi everyone! I'm Candace. I'm a read-a-holic. I actually just started a book Friday night and finished it Saturday night. Yeah, I'm one of THOSE read-a-holics. I love romance novels, especially the Love Inspired series. I also like to read the Harry Potter series. (I grew up reading it.) I like to read to relieve stress. So, because of the nature of my job, I read a lot! I'm looking forward to meeting new people, making new friends, and getting some recommendations for some great books!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Candace! I'm sure you are going to fit right in here - enjoy the group!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Candace ~ with a book a day, make sure you register for those annual challenges where you set your books read for the year. Sounds like you'll give them a good nudge ;)

[Ag_grace]

Hi! My name is Angelica. I decided I wanted to be a little more involved with the reading community here on goodreads, and to challenge myself with different romance books. I am super excited to be a part of this group. #ReadingRules

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi there Ag-grace! Hope you have a heap of fun here. Plenty of challenges to keep you occupied ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Angelica! We are glad to have you here!

[Zorina]

Hi everyone!! I'm Zorina originally from Romania (more exactly Transylvania) just moved to US, 2 years ago (fresh blood! [insert vampire laugh here] ).
I like to read a lot of romance but I'm also picky about my romance, I stir away from contemporary or erotica, don't get me wrong I like steamy books but there's a limit. Since I got my ebook reader I've been reading a lot and lately I felt kinda out of ideas about what book to read. I stuble on this group and I think adding a little challenge to my reading makes it more fun.
That's me! Z.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Zorina! My reader increased my reading significantly! I know you have already jumped into several challenges - yay! Have fun here. =)

Welcome Zorina! So pleased you joined us :D I totally get the limit on steamy - *looking around surruptitiously* I sometimes skip the heavy love scenes altogther ~ they can get so predictable and cookie-cutter ;)

Welcome to the group Salony! You'll be fine on the challenge, I'm sure :) And I love my Kindle and eReader - I couldn't stop with just one reader once I was into the swing of it ~ beware!!

[Salony]

I would make sure to keep that in mind *wink*

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Salony! Welcome!

I'm not going to talk about my gadgets... Lets just say, I might be a little out of control...

I'm really not sure how to do this, I'm really new to this. The reason I joined is because I'm stuck. I get books and they seem to be the same story I just read but different people. I'm looking to get out of my box.

[ELIZABETH]

Hi, my name is Betsey I just joined this group to get access to more books. I read to relax, I have a busy life and reading seems to be the only thing I do for myself. Right now I'm stuck reading the same type of story and need ideas to get out of my box. Can't wait to get started.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Betsey - I won't remember that in the future and will surely call you Elizabeth! Welcome to the group!

I think the challenges are a great way to break out of your comfort zone and find new books and authors! Almost too many sometimes! You can see what other people are reading and see what they thought about it too. Signups for the new quarterly are up and you can join the monthly challenges anytime. The Featured Author Challenge is good for discovering new authors too! Just look around and see what interests you and ask questions if you have any!

Welcome to the group Betsey! I agree with everything MKat said - feel free to poke around the challenge threads and see what everyone is reading. A few members post their latest reads (and sometimes thoughts) in the What Are You Reading thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) - there is sometimes a bit of chat in there :)

Good luck!

[Jade~Lover]

Hi I'm Kath.

feeling a tad overwhelmed right now lol. but well I love romance novels (along with other genres) not too fussy about what kind of romance, so long as its a good story line.
glad to be a part of this group.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Kath! Just jump on in with both feet - we don't bite! And ask any questions you have, everyone is very nice and helpful here. We all just want to have fun. =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

[Susan A]

Moderators --

I wasn't sure where to put this. I just wanted to say thank you for the monthly newsletters.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Thanks Susan!! We all help with it, but Fran does the hard work :)

[Fran, Moderator]

Thanks Susan! That's so sweet of you :)

We all contribute to the monthly upkeep. I think it's nice to get a little reminder each month, everyone has so much going on in their lives, it's hard to remember every challenge you want to join and the deadlines for joining!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Thanks Susan! Even I find it super helpful to have everything in one place like that! Like Jane said, it's a group effort but Fran keeps us all organized!
