Christie (christie454) | 92 comments Hi, I'm Christie from the Netherlands. I always struggle with what to read next - so much choice! So the challenges sound fun. Also looking forward to talking to others about romance novels - I'm the only one in my direct vicinity who does! Happy to find out ^.^

MountainKat | 31805 comments Welcome Christie! Challenges help so much with deciding what to read next! I hope they help you too!

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome to the group Christie!! I find the challenges really helped me decide what to pick up next to read ~ and there's a strange sense of satisfaction when you do it. Sort of like doing a puzzle :) Enjoy!


message 2614: by Mariana (new)

Mariana | 10 comments Hi, I'm Mariana from Texas. I have only participated in a few challenges, but they were all fun. They also helped me broaden my historical times period interest and quantity of books per year. Since I love reading romance, this seems a perfect fit for me!


message 2615: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome Mariana! Glad to hear you are enjoying the challenges :) it's amazing how much more you read when there's a plan to it!


message 2616: by Connie N. (new)

Connie N. | 1319 comments Welcome to the group, Christie! I know what you mean about trying to find others who love romance novels. This group makes you feel right at home among other like-minded members. Have fun!


message 2617: by Connie N. (new)

Connie N. | 1319 comments Glad you found the group, Mariana! Be careful about the challenges--they're definitely addictive! But you're in good company here. We're all hooked on reading romances and sharing challenges.


message 2618: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Mariana! I think challenges are great and they help me a lot! I'm only a little biased though. =)


message 2619: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Joe, challenges definitely motivated me to read more! And there are no shortage of reading ideas and recommendations here either - I hope you enjoy it here. =)


message 2620: by Lilah (new)

Lilah May (lilahmayromance) | 1 comments Hi everyone, I'm Lilah. I've been reading romance novels since I was young, but only recently started using goodreads. The idea of a challenge sounds like a great way to get involved and I can't wait to start!


message 2621: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Welcome Lilah! It sure seems like you are going to fit right in here, I hope you have fun!


message 2622: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome Lilah - glad you joined us and hope you have as much fun as we do with the various challenges!


message 2623: by Connie N. (new)

Connie N. | 1319 comments Welcome, Joe. This is a great group of people who will definitely encourage your reading and friendly conversation. We're glad you're here.


message 2624: by Connie N. (new)

Connie N. | 1319 comments So glad you found us, Lilah. Romance novels are great, aren't they? I've found, though, that the ones I enjoyed years ago are very different from the ones I read now. Times have definitely changed. But they're all good. I look forward to getting to know you better.


message 2625: by Hanne (new)

Hanne | 113 comments Hi! I joined this group, because I love reading challenges. They make me pick up books that I own for a long time and they make me think about books. I've been searching for more reading challenges and I think I found the perfect group :) I can't wait to start!!

I would also love to meet people in this group. I don't have any friends or family that read romance and I sometimes want to talk about a book, so you may always add me and talk books with me :) I read all romance (but rarely paranormal and history)


message 2626: by Connie N. (new)

Connie N. | 1319 comments You've come to the right place, Hanne, because we all love to read romance novels too. There are some fun challenges and lots of friendly people. Make yourself at home!


message 2627: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome to the group Hanne! Hope you have fun with all our challenges; give us a shout (in a thread or PM us) if you have a question. And jump in and chat about any of your books; we'd love to know your thoughts. There's a thread (can't send a link cos I'm on my phone) where we talk about our favourite and worst books of the month :)

Thank you. I have already joined a few challenges and I'm having fun already. I'll definitely check that thread out.

Welcome to the group Morgan! I'm like you, rotating between audio and Kindle/ebook. I do a lot of driving so that's when my audio kicks in :D Anyway, hope you find some inspiration here for your next book!


message 2637: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Morgan! Welcome to the group! I have audiobooks going all the time too, other than the times I have to be social and interact with others. =) Hope you find some great ideas for the new books, I know I find too many in the challenges and discussions!

Shalini (shalinix1f618) | 17 comments Hey everyone! I love reading books. this is the first group that i have ever joined on goodreads. would love to participate in reading challenges. plzz tell me how to join a challenge?


message 2646: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24352 comments Welcome Shalini!! So pleased you picked RRRC to be your first group!!

I'm on my phone so I can't add links, but joining a challenge is really easy. Most of them you can join the current challenge at any point during the stated period (eg month ~ April, quarter or year). And all you do is say that you are 'in'/'want to join' in the challenge thread. Then you simply track your progress against the level you selected, and post your completion :) You can also post an update through the month/period if you like.

There are a few challenges that are only open for a short window ~ these ones can't be joined after they start. They are Pass The Parcel; Meet and Greet; Pick It For Me. Those ones are team challenges or have pairings. Just watch out for the next round sign ups if they interest you.

Go have a look through the folders and challenges. Feel free to ask questions in the challenge threads - I'm sure help will be provided by other members or a Mod. It is Easter though, so some ppl may be on holiday :)

Good luck!

MountainKat | 31805 comments Hi Shalini! Look for the next PIFM around the 20th of the month. =) Enjoy, that is my favorite challenge, along with the M&G and Monthly and Quarterly - I'm sort of addicted... =P
