Welcome to the group Angela! A lot of us read across a couple of genres, but in here we focus mostly on romance. Hope you find some new books in amongst the threads :D

Andrew (drewgrigaliunas) | 58 comments Good morning everyone! I hope to read 1 book/week for a year-end total of at least 48 books. I joined this early so that I can ask everyone here what book/novel/short story should I start the new year off with? I generally read romance(historical/contemporary/paranormal) or fantasy. If you have a recommendation, please let me know before Jan 1, 2017.
Have a happy TGIF and a very happy holiday season!!
:P :P :P :D :D :D

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Hi Drew - we are just about to travel for Xmas but I'll have a look for a book rec later today...

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Angela! Like Jane said, we mostly focus on romance, but as long as it fits for the spot in a challenge, it really doesn't matter what genre you read! Have fun here. =)

Drew, I can't even think of book ideas right now - maybe the brain will work more when things settle down. But I'm sure if you look around at the different challenges and discussions you will get some ideas!

Kristie Ward | 1 comments Hi, I'm kristie.
Living Northern California, I am originally from England/

I am a full time mom and a full time nanny. I love to read when I can find a few mins. And of course at bedtime
Romance has always been my go to genre but I do read other things, true crime, thrillers pretty much anything.
Looking forward to a challenge this year, I have never kept track of my reading so really have no idea how much I can achieve

Bree Lauren (breelauren) Hi everyone! I'm a total book nerd who unabashedly loves romance novels of all sorts. I'm still reeling from A Court of Mist and Fury. I've read about 4 book since reading that one and I am waiting for the appropriate amount of time before reading it again for the *cough* 3rd time.

I can't wait to try out some of these challenges and meet a few new like-minded friends along the way!

Aviana | 1 comments Hi guys! I'm Avi and I love reading books! Romance is my kryptonite. I like fantasy/high fantasy too, as long as it has a little romance in it. I love contemporary romance, NA and YA too. :)


message 2474: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Hi Avi - welcome to the group!! I like some fantasy with my romance as well ~ so long as I can pronounce the names in my mind!! If not, I have to work out a simple abbreviation to keep me going ;)

Enjoy! And let us know if you have any queries - everyone is very friendly.

Daisy Daisy | 5 comments Hi I'm Charlie (Female) I live in the UK and have been an avid reader of books from an early age. I even went thorough every book my school had in the building (that was... a while back). I've been lurking on good reads a while now but thought 2017 was a good year to be active on here so here I am in your lovely group. love reading and have to get to the end to find out what happened even if the book sucks - just in case it gets better! So that's me :) I've signed up for a couple of the year a-z challenges to ease me in gently. thanks for having me


message 2476: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome to the group J.C. and Charlie!! I lurked for a while before I took the plunge - hope you both love the challenges and find some great new books to read amongst all the threads/shelves :)

WTF Are You Reading? | 4 comments My name is Frishawn, and I am a romance addict!
So much so that I find myself reading it more so than any other genre. I am also the proud owner of a blog. The link to which can be found in my profile. Please feel free to contact me if you want the 411 on the newest releases. Publishers are my friends. Don't worry about the books on my shelves which have only ratings. There wil be reviews. I just read a lot faster than I write.

Alexa | 1 comments Hey guys, I'm Alexa. I have recently gotten back into reading and figured I would join some groups to find more books to read. I tend to read books with romance of all kinds but every once in a while I'll pick up a fantasy book. I am currently working my way through Melody Anne's book series called Becoming Elena.

message 2488: by Grandma (new)

Grandma Hi there! I'm new to the group. I like romance novels, but I'd like to read one with characters closer to my age. Does anyone have a recommendation for a book with main characters that are over 50? Is there a better website I can join to get recommendations on romance novels?

THANKS!

Hi Grandma - welcome to the group. Off hand I can't think of any romances with that age group other than vampiry ones.

I found these lists that may interest you:
Books with 50 something heroines and older Not sure if these are all romances...
Empty Nest Romance Novel Leads With Adult Children
Best older hero AND older heroine romance books (the main couple has to be over 40)
Best Women over 40 Erotic Romance Books

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Grandma! Seems weird to call someone I don't know that! Besides, that's my name - only to my three favorite littles though. =)

It looks like Jane gave you some good lists! There was only one book I can think of off the top of my head - Apples Should Be Red by Penny Watson. Cute story!
