[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Bleu. Hope you find some great books in amongst our members' shelves!

[Amsha]

Hi Good day everyone... or evening for some.. :) I'm Amsha ... I joined this group cause I'm looking for a particular book that I have in mind... I forgot the title of the book but I remember the plot and i wanted to read it again...As I am browsing I stumbled upon the challenges this group has and it got me interested. :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Amsha! Hope you enjoy the challenges that caught your eye - I love the ones I do! But they sure can be addicting! =)

Thank you and I'm sure I will too...:)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Amsha! Hope you solve your book mystery - perhaps you'll be able to use it in one of our challenges?!

[Amsha]

or maybe create a thread just like that... book mysteries..:) or is there one such as that already?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

There is one - something like 'what book is that?' I'm on my phone so I can't go searching easily but will post again once I track it down :)

[Victoria]

Hi am new to the group, my name is Victoria and i am a 35 yr old SAHM to 7 girls and 2 boys. Reading is my sanctuary, romance being my preferred genre but i will read just about anything. Looking forward to discovering new books and having fun along the way

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Victoria!! I would say you need a sanctuary with 9 kids - especially with 7 of being girls with all the hormonalness that can involve!! One girl with my two boys was enough for me! =P I hope you enjoy the group, I'm sure you will find lots of new books and authors along the way! A whole bunch of new challenges are about to start - that is where I get most of my new ideas. =)

[Breanne]

Hi my name is Breanne and I have always loved romance in my stories and that just keeps growing with time as I read more books.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Breanne! Expect to be called Briar from here on out. =) I hope you enjoy the group, there is lots of fun to be found here!

Hi Breanne - hope you fun here in the group and find more than enough romance to feed your soul :) ...And as Kat said, we'll no doubt be calling you Briar from here on out!

[Pamela]

Hello, Fellow Erotica/Smut Lovers!

I’m Pamela, born in Maryland but currently live in southwest Michigan. I just returned from a long Good Reads hiatus. Life got in the way… you know what I mean.  Any who… looking for some great lusty literary experiences, that possess some semblance of dialog, plot and premise.

I devour books like chocolate to a choc-a-holic. However, my eclectic reading tastes are not all I’m about; retired corporate gopher who is now a farmer, gardener, animal rescuer, art enthusiast, Facebook junkie, Farmville team member, and chronic illness survivor. My favorite genres are: heto/homo romance, mystery noir, cozy mystery, steampunk, weird western, and, of course, paranormal.

Good Day to everyone!

[Jujubee]

Hello, fellow romance readers! Call me Jujubee!! When we know each other "better" I'll let you know how I got that nickname LOL.
So glad to have found this group, as I am an unashamed romance reader since I snuck my first paperback into my preteen bedroom way back in the early 70s ;)
I only have rediscovered my love of reading a handful of years ago (1500 noted in GRs since I joined in 2014), since our children are grown (with kids of their own) and Hubs and I can do whatev's we please.
Historicals (the gothier the better) and PNRs (vampires, werewolves, dystopian, to urban fantasy...NA, YA, Classics and to the darkest OhMy!) I look forward to the reading challenges here, 'cause I've got over 1500 books still on my TBR list. I also look forward to meeting new book friends and sharing stories of fav romance reads.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Pamela and Jujubee!! So glad to have you here - it looks like you both will fit right in! Hope to see you around the group, it's a lot of fun! =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Jujubee and Pamela!! Hope you have fun roaming the site and don' be backwards in jumping in on any of the challenges :D

[Amina]

Hi Everyone

My name is Amina. I'm from United Kingdom.
I am a mother of 2 boisterous boys and a nursery manager.
My love for books is intense... Especially romance books / fantasy and hoping to read more than 200 books this year

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Amina! I'm glad to see you are already jumping in!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Amina - plenty of junkies here in those two genres so I hope you see some things you like on our members' shelves!

[~Teresa]

Hello to all! I'm Teresa and just recently joined. I love to read just about anything with science fiction being the exception .... just don't enjoy it. Chick lit and mystery/suspense are a couple of my favorites. I got my love of books from my mom and have passed it on to my daughters! I'm also an animal lover and a coffee drinker. In my spare time you'll find on the back deck with a cup of coffee, a book and my three dogs. Looking forward to meeting other book lovers!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Teresa - welcome to the group! I think it's cool how reading almost seems genetic - it funs in my family too! I hope you have fun here =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Teresa! Hope you find a heap more books here to relax with your pooches out in the sun ;) Ideal way to kick back.

[~Teresa]

Thanks for the warm welcome! And I do mean warm. It was 100 degrees here today. No deck time with the fur girls and coffee and a book for me! I stayed inside like a delicate flower (I am so NOT a delicate anything) with an iced coffee and worked! Yikes!

[Kellyn]

Hi, I'm Kellyn, I'm 29, and live in Michigan! I'm not new to Goodreads but this is the first group I've joined. I'm looking for good book recommendations and am excited to try one of the book challenges! I read just about anything but tend to stay in the romance category and am eager to find some new books to read.

[Connie N.]

If you're anything like me, Kellyn, you'll find way too many books to read! I'm always checking out people's posts and finding more and more books to add to my already-overloaded TBR. Welcome!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Kellyn! Connie is right, you will probably find lots of new books here - I know I do! And the challenges are lots of fun too. =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Kellyn! It took me a while to join a group here as well, but once I dipped my foot in, I didn't look back in the few groups I joined :D

[Moe]

Hi all. My name is Moe and I've just joined RRRC. I consider myself an introvert but with a gentle nudge from my friend Gabrielle we have both decided to join :). Ive been on goodreads for a few years now but have decided to join to expand my book reading horizons. I love the emotional rollercoaster that a good read can take me on. I look forward to joining in one of the August reading challenges. Thanks for having me here!

Megan, you sure won't have any trouble expanding your TBR here! I can personally say that mine has grown by leaps and bounds--I can't get enough! We're glad you've made your way over here. This is a great group.

[~Teresa]

Hi Moe, welcome! I just joined this group a week ago so I'm still exploring and finding my way around also. Friendly people make a group so much more fun and I'm glad I found my way here. I have a daughter who is an introvert. So, I understand and I commend you for joining. :) Have fun!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Wow, look at all the new members! Welcome! I hope you all have fun here - I'm sure you will. =) Please ask if you need any help or guidance - everyone is super friendly and helpful!

[Ivusha (Tenebien)]

Hi, my name is Iva and I come from the Czech Republic. I joined, because I like reading (preferably romance, YA, and fantasy).
I'm 28 and work as a teacher. I would like to write a book one day and I hope to manage it in English... :-)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Iva! Good luck with your goals. I hope you enjoy the group. =)

[Connie N.]

It's so great to "meet" you, Iva. You'll find lots of others who love reading romances and lots of other aspiring writers as well, I'm sure. I'm impressed that you want to write in English--what an amazing accomplishment that will be! Best wishes to you. We can't wait to see what you come up with.

I know it's gonna be very demanding and difficult. Especially since my vocabulary is limited in comparison to native speakers... but I'm up for the challenge. :)

I started with the simple monthly challenge: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It gives a good simple place to find your feet, and you can pick a level depending on how many books you want to read.

But really, all of them are great ;)
