[Simant]

Hi everyone! I'm Simant. I was in a reading slump for too long and decided to take reading seriously this year. I found this amazing group while I was searching for some reading challenges to boost up my reading ;) I am trying to read different genres, but you know Romance has a soft spot :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hey Simant! Welcome to the group!! There are heaps of challenges to jump in on! MountainKat posted the new quarterly the other day ~ starts 15 March. It's a book cover hunt which are always good fun! I'd post the link but I'm on my phone :(

Thanks Jane. Sure I'll check it.

[Monique]

Hi, everyone! :D My name is Moni, I'm from Slovenia. I'm book addict and I love reading. My favorite genres are romance, historical fiction, and fantasy :)

[Connie N.]

So glad you found us, Simant and Monique! This is a great group with friendly people and lots of great ideas for reading. You'll definitely get out of a reading slump when sharing and looking through everyone's posts and all the interesting threads.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Moni (henceforth Monique since I won't remember your shortened name)!! Hope you enjoy your time here - many members read your romance genres so you are sure to find some good book ideas.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Simant! Challenges are a great way to get out of a reading slump or help you figure out what to read next! I hope you find that too. =)

Hi Moni! (And what Jane said about your name.) I hope to see you around the group too!

[Monique]

Thanks for a lovely welcome :D

[Julia]

Hi everyone, My name is Julia. I've just joined this group as I am looking into doing some challenges this year. I have already joined the goodreads reading challenge and set myself a goal of 65 books, but really want to spice it up with some additional challenges. I am also just doing the "Extreme 10 books Challenge" to slim down my TBR Pile.
I am from Germany and enjoy romance and thrillers most.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Julia! Sounds like you have a lot of it figured out :) I'd check out the monthly challenge next. You can set your own level ( re number of books) against 10 categories (that relate back to the current month) from which to choose.

Also the new quarterly challenge starts on the 15th. It's always great fun.

I'm on my phone so can't put links in. But go check out the monthly and quarterly challenge folders. If nothing else you may find some new book ideas in the pages :D

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Julia! Welcome to the group! Jane gave you some excellent ideas about where to go next, but just ask if you have any questions - someone will answer, this is a very friendly and helpful group!

[Julia]

Hi guys, thanks for the lovely welcome.

[Connie N.]

So glad you found this group, Julia! We're all a bunch of romance lovers as well as being challenge addicts. So you're in good company.

[Chris]

My name is Christina and I love to read romance novels. I am currently working on my 30 book challenge for this year.

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Christina! It's always nice to "meet" another avid reader, especially one who loves romance novels as much as the rest of us do. Keep up the good work with your challenge.

Welcome to the gorup Christina! Good luck with your challenge - at the worst, you will have read some great books - no downside ;)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Shawn - welcome to the group! There are lots of challenges and places to chat. Jump on in anywhere!

[Connie N.]

You'll find lots of ideas here for your next book, Shawn. And there are challenges to inspire you as well. Have fun browsing through the group and feel free to ask any questions you have.

[Amy]

Hello Group! My name is Amy, I am a reader and an author. I have a 50 book challenge for this year. I am excited to see what everyone is reading, I am kinda picky in my romance taste. I read what I write but I have been known to be swayed from time to time. Talk to you all soon!

A

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Amy! We're so glad you found us. I'm sure you'll find lots of like-minded readers that can provide you with oodles of reading options. Good luck with your writing.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Amy - hope you enjoy the challenges and chats. Good luck on your writing.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Amy and Christina!! Welcome to the group - we're glad you found us!

[OwlTogether422]

Hi my name is Sara. This is my first time using goodreads so I am hoping that this new experience will teach me some things! I am hoping to make new friends and expand my reading

[Connie N.]

Welcome to the group, Sara! I'm not sure what we'll be able to teach you, but we'll definitely encourage you to read. Have fun!

[Marie]

Hi my name is Marie. Every year I tell myself I'll make more time to read and then I get sidetracked. So I'm hoping that chronicling my reading on Goodreads and getting involved in some groups and challenges will keep me on track.

I have an embarrassing amount of books (paper and ebook) that I haven't read yet, so my goal (sort of) this year is not to buy any more books. At least not anything new (paper) or only if it's really cheap (ebook).

Mainly I read mystery, romance and YA with a bit of fantasy thrown in here and there. I am looking forward to seeing what you all are reading, though I have a feeling that will not play well to my "no buying books" idea!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Sara! Look forward to seeing you around the threads. Please ask any of us for pointers on how GR works but ultimately, the more you poke around, the more you will get comfortable :D

Welcome to the group Marie! I can see you falling into the trap that a lot of us set for ourselves ~ shiny new books that must be bought... if only we had the time to read them!! Good luck plowing through your piles ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Sara and Marie! Welcome, good luck with your reading goals - challenges are great for that!

[Ronnie]

Hi, everyone! My name is Gayle, I'm from Australia and I'm book addict and I love reading.

Welcome, Marie. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that we're all enablers here and will ultimately encourage you to buy more books, not less! But we're all in the same boat, so nor worries. Have fun browsing through the group. We're glad you're here.

[Connie N.]

Gayle wrote: "Hi, everyone! My name is Gayle, I'm from Australia and I'm book addict and I love reading."

You're come to the right place, Gayle, since we're all addicts as well. You'll find lots of options for reading and challenging yourself around here, so have fun checking out the group.

[Melanie]

Hi, I'm new and late to the game... I just started reading romance books in Feb. I started with the FSOG, I'm now working on Crossfire series. Anymore suggestions?

[Sonja]

Hi! I'm Sonja in Los Angeles and I'm addicted to Romance and Historical Romances. I'm mother to two small kids and wife to a spouse with a chronic medical condition so I'm not sure how I do it, but I read voraciously. My 2017 reading goal is 100 books (I had 88 last year.) I'm a big Jane Austen fan with P&P as my favorite. I find my books through the local library eBook system and Kindle and have about 18 sitting on my shelf to be read! I'm almost finished with the Pennyroyal Green series (2books left) by Julie Anne Long - LOVE them!! I'm also reading Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove andCastles Ever After series. Some of my other favorite current authors are Courtney Milan (Brothers Sinister OMG!), Deanna Reybourne (Julia Grey mysteries!), Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane series... Okay every series!), and Lisa Kleypas (Friday Harbor!!)
I also dabble in writing, though nothing's been published yet and I love to scrapbook and paint. I also coach my son's soccer team and love teaching my kids to love reading. Here's a success, my daughter's favorite board book is my coveted P&P BabyLit primer! Love it!
I joined because I find I'm the only one of my reading friends who loves romance and I need people to chatter with about these books!! I love to recommend books I've loved, but don't have much of a chance to do that currently since no one I know reads romance.
Thanks for this group and I'm excited to hopefully find a book-loving home!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome to the group Melanie and Sonja!

Melanie, I'm sure you will get lots of suggestions, just look at some of the discussions or challenges. I always find too many books to read for myself!

Sonja, you sound crazy busy - glad you find time to read! We all love to discuss our books and we love romance, you will feel right at home!

Welcome Melanie!! I'm sure some of our members will have a heap of suggestions, but I have to admit ignorance on these two series ;) Jump in on any of the challenges and check out what our members are reading - there are bound to be some like-minded enthusiasts!

Welcome Sonja ~ This is quite a common comment in this group. You are not alone in having no other ppl around you who read (or admit to reading ;) romance. This is certainly the case for me ~ in fact most of my family frown upon it. ...Fortunately we have a heap of members here ready to chat about anything romance :D Go forth and explore!
