Hi Anna! I really hope to visit your country someday! I hope you get to spend more time here - maybe you will get something other than dial-up someday. =)

[Anna]

I hope it...I am cut out from the net, which it can be truly good if I want to write and read eheheh but of course I can be considered a bit asocial you know. Where do you live?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Great to hear from you Anna! Hard to believe dial-up internet is still around ;) Any chance of mobile broadband making it to your part of Italy? I'm going to Hungary soon and have been wondering about connectivity...

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I live in the mountains of Southern California, we have 'high speed' here - in quotes because it really isn't high speed, but it isn't too bad as long as we aren't trying to do too much at the same time. That is the one thing I miss about living in the city, but I love the mountains so it is a compromise.

If you go to cities in Hungary there are no problem I guess. South California? What a dream!!!! It's a wonderful place and there are many Italians. I love the books by John Steinbeck. Great portray of your beautiful land. Good white wine the Zinfandel for what I know.

Hungary is a place plenty of history. Ask about Sissi, the wife of Francis Joseph the Emperor of Austria....She was very loved by the population.

Thanks for the tip on Sissi! Will do.

[Xiamera]

Hi, I'm Shari. I'm 26 and I live in Barbados. I believe every book is better with a little romance in it and I am becoming addicted to reading challenges, so this sounds like the perfect group. :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Shari (from now on, we'll likely call you Xiamera :) Hope you love this group as the rest of us - no doubt we'll increase your 'to read' bookshelf exponentially :D

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Shari! Jane is right, it will be Xiamera from now on! Sounds like you are going to fit right in. =)

[Xiamera]

Thanks :)
Lol yes I understand about the name. It would be weird to see Xiamera in the thread but everyone saying Shari in the posts.

[Connie N.]

Welcome to Justme, Anna, and Xiamera! If you love romance and you love challenges, you've definitely come to the right place. We're glad to "meet" you.

[Stacy]

Hi everyone. My name is Stacy.. I read about 3-4 books a week. I love reading and I definitely love reading about romance. I am really excited to join this group and discuss with others as well as getting recommendations for books to read.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Stacy! I think you are going to fit right in ;-) Hope to see you around the group!

Welcome to the group Stacy - Hope you enjoy your time here! Jump in on any of the open challenges :)

[Connie N.]

Hi Stacy, glad to meet you. This is a really great group of romance readers, so I know you'll find lots to do and some great recommendations. No matter what sub-genre you like, there'll be a lot of others reading those same books.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Thanks for posting here Aneerah. So sorry to hear the trauma in your life, but it sounds like your son and his wife have a great attitude, which is often most of the battle.

Have noticed you posting a lot more :D Hope reading and goodreads gives you escape, respite and relaxation. Look forward to seeing you around here more!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I know reading was a great time filler and escape for me when dealing with family illnesses in the past, glad it was there for you too! I hope all continues to go well with you and yours Aneerah!

[Connie N.]

Welcome, Aneerah! It sounds as though you and your family have a strong support group and a great medical team. Sending warm and healing thoughts your way.

I hope you can find some fun and escape in your reading while you face these challenges.

[Jenna]

I'm Pebbles - nickname obviously!

I've been an avid/binge reader of romance, mystery, British police procedurals and the odd biography ever since I could teethe on the binding of a hardcover!

I am married, no children, and I live in Long Island ~ although anyone who knows me in real life knows I should have been born in the UK.

I also binge watch BBC TV shows on Netflix or DVd - or on public television from from way back before Downtown was a glimmer in creator Julian Fellowes' eyes.

More recently though I switched gears from reader to romance writer- especially in the genres of clean/sweet/Christian romance.

My pen name is Jenna Victoria.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Pebbles - welcome to the group! I hope you enjoy it here. =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - good luck with your writing Pebbles and hope you enjoy your time with us!

[Connie N.]

Glad you found us, Pebbles. It sounds as though you're busy with both reading and writing. Best wishes and welcome to the group.

Let me know! I think she was super-loved in Hungarian, so I guess you will discover a lot!

Ciao Aneerah, I know the St.Jude. It's for sure the best choice! If you need some support I can speak with my aunt of Memphis, Bobbie, maybe when you will stay to Memphis you can meet up with her. She is an adorable lady for sure. She sent me a lot of pictures of the St.Jude's in the past and of the little guests. It was moving. Big hugs and stay strong. Please give a hug at your kid to me.

[Silvana]

Hello everyone, I'm Silvana. :)

I'm from Bulgaria. I prefer historical and paranormal romance (but I like other genres too). I joined the group because lately I find it hard to pick a book to read, so I thought maybe this group would help me find some good books...

What else can I say? I'm a university student and I study informatics, but I work to pay for my tuition and I love my job (not the boss though, but who likes their boss anyway). I've previously studied economics and from that I have what in my country we call a third-degree diploma (in finance), which I hope I never have to use. :D It's the lowest qualification, but it allows me to work as an accountant or finance adviser, credit consultant and so on...

Also, I'm extremely shy so if anyone writes something to me and it takes me a few days to reply - please don't get offended, I'll be thinking through what to say back. That's how shy I am. I also must suffer from something, because I can't lie even if it would save my life. So basically I'm shy and absolutely honest so imagine how much of an awkward (and rude, but mostly awkward) person I am in real life.

Well... That's me. I hope this group helps me find the good romance book I've been searching for.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Silvana!! I am sure you will find plenty of book options within the group ~ the challenges are chock-full of them :)

Don't worry about the shyness ~ just jump in wherever you feel comfortable. The beauty of our challenges is that it is really only you that you are challenging since we have a few levels for each one :D

[Connie N.]

So glad to meet you, Silvana. We're happy you decided to reach out because this is a very warm and welcoming group, and you'll find lots of suggestions about what to read next. Have fun poking around and getting ideas. Jump in when you feel comfortable.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Silvana! I definitely think this group and the challenges will help you find new books, it helps me a lot! And just jump in where you feel like it, everyone is super friendly here!

[Cece]

Hi everyone, I'm Cece, a 20 year old Christian who is new to goodreads, it's nice to meet you all :) I'm a writer of fairly emotive, chaste romance and a reader of much the same. I've loved writing and wanted to be an author since I was 9 years old and have loved editing people's work since high school so if anyone wants their story looked over I'm more than happy to help! With regard to books, I'm seeking a chaste romance novel/love story, (Christian romance fiction is great too) with a focus on the emotional connection between the central couple, a book with no violence, deaths and with minimal conflict, so if anyone has any recommendations of that kind please send them my way! :) I've recently gotten into Debbie Macomber's work so if anyone has any of hers they'd recommend, I'd love to hear about them too :)
Hope everyone is having a wonderfully blessed day :) 

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Cece! I think Debbie Macomber is a great fit for what you are looking for - she writes a sweet story! I don't have a favorite and haven't read any for a number of years, but she is very prolific! I do remember really enjoying her holiday stories - perfect for the season. =) I hope you enjoy your time here!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Cece! Best wishes with your writing ~ I'd love to be so talented :)

[Connie N.]

So glad you've found us, Cece. I'm sure you'll find a lot of other like-minded readers among us. You might want to check out the Literature Map. Enter your favorite authors to see what similar authors are suggested.

[Eunice]

Hi, I'm Eunice. I'm not exactly new to Goodreads, but I started to actually use this site only recently. I read almost any genre as long as the plot is interesting to me, but I usually read mystery/thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, and YA, but any romance sprinkled on it is a plus in my opinion. Once in a while though, I read books with romance as the main genre. I decided to join the group because I recently got into reading challenges. It sounded fun, and I thought that it can help me explore a wider range of books.

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Eunice. There are lots of interesting challenges here and plenty of friendly people who will help you find just the kind of book you like to read.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Eunice! Welcome to the group! A lot of the challenges here work for any genre, but a few of them, or categories in them, are romance specific. I'm sure you will be able to find something that works for you! =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Eunice! We can always do with more challenge players ;) And we love new blood!! I'm sure you'll find some great books, friends and challenges.

[Thalia]

Hello , I'm Thalia :)
I used to read earlier as well but only since March 2016 did i start reading vigorously . I try reading a new book every two-three days . I am still exploring my interests but i think i like almost all novels with an interesting love plot. I found this group intriguing and so , here i am :)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Thalia! Isn't life better now that you are reading again?! I know it makes me happy! I hope you enjoy the group. =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Thalia - I'm sure we can feed your reading addiction!!

[Connie N.]

So glad you found this group, Thalia. There are many people here with a wide variety of interests, so I know you'll find some good things to read to further develop your reading style. Jump in and have fun!

[Just Reading]

Hi! I'm Danielle and so happy to have found this group. I'm looking forward to reading new books, making new friends, and really indulging myself into the magical world of reading.

[[deleted user]]

Hello to everyone! I'm from Iowa (you maybe guessed from my name!) and am anxious to get involved. My sister-in-law was an active member of this group and the fact that she enjoyed it so much gave me all the encouragement I needed to join. Several years ago I was a member of GR but didn't really do much with it. So, I'm an "old" newbie, sort of. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and read some great books.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Danielle and Iowa!! We are glad to have you with us. =) I hope you have fun here - I sure do!

[Connie N.]

Welcome, Danielle and Iowa. I think I've seen your names in other groups and am happy that you've found us here too. This is a warm and friendly group with fun things to do. I hope you'll make yourselves right at home.

[Katrina]

Hi! I'm Katrina. Everyone calls me Kat. I joined this group because I love to read and I love challenges. Hopefully I find some new material to read because I'm currently at a standstill ( "currently reading" 40 books lol). I'm hoping to find some books that I can actually get through :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Katrina 'Kat' ;) I sure hope you find something here to tempt you. I hate having books started but not finished! Good luck!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Katrina! Challenges help me a lot with finding and finishing books - sometimes just because I need it for the challenge! I hope you find some help here too!
