Hello. I joined this group because I am an avid reader. I like reading mysteries and thrillers and anything that is interesting. But the genre that I love the most, is Romance.

Welcome to the group Kita! So pleased you found us, especially with those changes to the GR pages :D

Hope you find some irrestible books within these pages!

[Cyliena]

Hello everyone! I'm a 35 year old from Michigan and mostly read fantasy and romance. I actually had a nearly 15-year drought from reading romance, then in 2014 a librarian friend recommended Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean. Haven't looked back since!

I also enjoy writing, but that leans more toward fantasy than romance. So far have been dinking around with short stories but would love to get a series I have brainstormed published someday.

The group sounded fun and I'm already pondering what to read for the August challenge. :) Happy to meet you all!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Kita and Ann! I hope you enjoy the group - lots to do here! May your TBRs grow and grow!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Ann - I'll bet your story is familiar to a few of us regarding that big break in reading. We just needed that right book to put us back on the reading treadmill!! Good luck with the monthly challenge :D

Hi everyone! I'm Ellan and although I've been on Goodreads for over a year I'm only just starting to understand how to use it

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Ellan! Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions, everyone is very helpful and friendly here! =)

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Kita, Ann, and Ellan! It's always nice to discover more readers who appreciate romance. You'll find that this is a great group with lots of ideas for challenges and books--I'm sure you'll fit right in.

[Melanie]

Hello everyone. I am a new member and a new Author. I am excited to connect with other romance lovers, read your discussions about book guys and make new friends. I am from Ontario, Canada. I am a mom and wife and love time spent with my family. I am a busy caretaker to my pets and have always had my nose in a book, but now with writing, reading really is a privilege for me.
Please feel welcome to visit my Goodreads Authors page and say hi, as I am very excited to make friends and connect with women who love romance as much as I do! I am very happy to have found this group!! I find navigating through GR, groups and threads to be somewhat of a challenge at times, and I hope I have posted in the proper section. If this group has an Authors section I would also like to post there, if it is permitted. Again,, I really look forward to making connections within this group. Melanie Bennett- Author

Hi Melanie! I'm a new author from Ontario too! Nice to meet you. :) Heading over to your page now. :D

Nice to meet you Linda! Yes, I have come across several GR members from Ontario, which is great.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Ellan and Melanie - hope you have fun in our group and find more books to read than you can poke a stick at ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Melanie! I hope you enjoy it here, lots of discussions and romance lovers!

[Melanie]

Thank you for the welcome, nice to meet you Jane and MountainKat!!

[Connie N.]

Welcome to RRRC, Melanie! You have definitely come to the right place if you are looking for romance lovers, both as a writer and as a reader. There's always a lot happening around here. Have fun!

[Melanie]

Thank you for the welcome Connie, nice to meet you. Yes, I was very happy to find this group, look forward to following discussions and learning different point of views from romance readers. :)

[Elaine]

Hello! I joined a few days ago but I'm only getting around to checking the group out now. Looking forward to doing some challenges.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Elaine! Hope to see you in a challenge soon! I have to warn you though, they are addicting and then you spend all your time planning for and reading for them!

[Alieyy]

Hi there! I'm Alie, I just joined the group yesterday. I love Romance books so much I could marry it. lol. I hope I can have some friends here.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Alie! I'm sure you can find some likeminded friends here - everyone is very friendly! =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Elaine and Alie! Kat is spot on - be prepared to be addicting to finding your next book to read, and a friendly hello in the challenges :D

[Creative Caprice]

Hi, I am new here and I admit, I joined because of the added bonus of the challenges! :) I started off reading romance with old Harlequins (like 1960s/70s ones). Then I found Johanna Lindsey and fell in love with her books as a result of which for the longest time I only read Historical Romance of all eras.

At some point I found some steamier modern setting ones and a few paranormal ones that I really liked. But (late to the game I know!) it's Kindle that has opened my eyes to all the different sub-genres and styles so I am still experimenting with a bunch of them to see what I like and don't. I still have a soft spot for historical though (and kind of the more cheesy bodice ripping type too!). Which it's nice to find a group to admit that in lol :)

Welcome to the group Creative Caprice! That's so funny - the cheesy bodice rippers etc. The ridiculous is half the fun of reading - the plot, characters and the cover!

Our members read all sorts of sub-genres in the romance category (and outside as well) and we love seeing all of them :D Some members hide their covers in public and other love to flaunt and show off their racy covers to see what reaction they get. I know of one author who writes MM romance (GLBT) who, fed up with a pestering/noisy child in a cafe, let the child read over her shoulder as she wrote; the mother wasn't quite prepared for what the child read!!!

Anyway - have fun and enjoy those challenges; there are always new ones being added :D

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Creative Caprice! When I found this group I was in heaven - reading challenges and romance readers - woohoo!!

Welcome to the group, Elaine! There are a bunch of different challenges to suit every preference, so I know you'll find a few that you'll like. We're all enablers around here and will definitely get you hooked.

I know what you mean, Alie, about loving romances. We all need a little romance in our lives, right? You'll find lots of friends here--everyone is super friendly.

Welcome to the group, CC. Oh, I have fond memories of starting out with Harlequins (and Silhouettes). My mom and I would each get bunches of them at second-hand bookstores, then we'd trade with each other, so we'd get double the reading for our investment. Then back to the bookstore to trade them in and get some more. I really enjoyed the popular gothic novels of the day, although I find them less exciting now than I did then.

[Adriana]

Hi i'm adriana, i love romance and a good story... it will be great if you could give me some recommendations

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Adriana - welcome! I find the place place to get recommendations is in the discussions and challenges where you can see what others are enjoying! =)

[Adriana]

Thanks!!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Adriana! And I do exactly the same as Kat's recommendation :) seeing what others are reading is the best place to start!

[Connie N.]

So glad you found this group, Adriana. I find that lurking around the group adds way more books to my to-read shelf than I can ever read in my lifetime! Or you can always check out other people's lists to find out what they're reading and enjoying. Have fun exploring.

[Pamela]

Hey, I'm Pamela and I just joined goodreads a few days ago. I would love to discuss books and get some ideas what to read next :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Pamela!! Jump on in anywhere - there is plenty to explore :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Pamela!! I hope you enjoy the group - it's lots of fun here! =)

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Pamela. Looking forward to getting to know you better. It's always great to add another avid romance reader to the ranks.

[KindleandBook]

Hi All, I'm new to the group. I'm from The Netherlands and love Romance, especially contemporary romance, erotic romance and m/m romance. Looking forward to exploring all the challenges. :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi KindleandBook! Welcome to the group, the challenges are lots of fun!

[Connie N.]

This is definitely the place for you, KindleandBook, since we are all romance lovers too. You'll find fun challenges...and lots of suggestions for great books that will interest you. Welcome to the group!

[I. N.]

Hi All
I'm fairly new to GoodReads, and happy to have stumbled upon this group. I live in Denmark, and am an avid reader of mostly contemporary romance. Can not wait to snoop around in all of your reading-lists in my search for inspiration.
(I do not have a lot of friends yet, so feel free to add me.)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome I. N. - I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration around here! I think the best places are in the challenges or discussion where you can see what everyone's been reading!

[Connie N.]

So glad you found this group, I.N., since you are among many other avid romance readers. Browse around--I know you'll find lots of ideas of great books to read. I know I've only increased my TBR list since joining.

[Shawnia]

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Shawnia =)

[Justme]

Just a quick "hi"
I joined for one of the Reading Challenges, monthly. I've always been partial to Romance, as well as an avid reader. My other favorite genre is Fantasy...so ParaRom is often at the top of my list. I've become a fan of M/M - so many fantastic authors. I don't care who is in love, as long as it's healthy & sane & consensual. Okay, full disclosure: I can't wrap my head around Zombie Romance, but as I refuse to read it, I have no opinion.
I go through phases, but I'll say I like to read more than chat.
This looks like a great group; I love the diversity & thanks for all the great ideas!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have started a Gemstone Reading Challenge open to everyone.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Justme! Sounds like you read a bit of everything which is similar to a lot of us :) have fun!!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Justme! I hope you enjoy the group - I know I do

[Justme]

Thank you both!

[Anna]

Hi I wanted to say to all this group a warm ciao! I joined the group many years ago but I can't stay too much here because in my corner of the world we still have dial-up. I hadn't never introduced myself to the group for this reason: I am italian I live in Umbria, I am a reporter and I love reading, watching good movies on TV, going to the cinema etc. I started to review books as well on my blog: alfemminile.blogspot.it and then I post all the reviews here as well. I am pretty diversified. I am attracted by romance, I have experienced a phase where that ones my favorite books. Recently I am also reading about psychology, philosophy, outdoors, history, cooking baking, nonfiction, fiction etc etc. Ciao from Italia
