Hello, I'm Ev. I saw all the wonderful reading challenges y'all have and couldn't wait to join. I'm almost as crazy for the challenges as I am about books. :)

Hi Moriah and Ev - welcome to the group! Always good to have more challenge junkies join us! =)

Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I sure hope so, Connie. Always looking for new romance novels to get lost in!

[Hayley]

Hi, I'm Hayley Solich. I'm exploring the world of readers and authors, as I've published my first series of romance novels and as it's a new market, thought I'd best see where the romance novel lovers hang out. I'm an avid romance reader myself, so love a bit of action and mystery thrown in there, which is what I do in my novels. Also love going deep into the human emotions, touching on grief and relationship dynamics, including those awkward sticky moments that happen in the early phases of a romantic connection. Looking forward to seeing what everyone is up to and hopefully sharing my Twisted Sisters Series with you all.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Hayley! Hope you enjoy your chats here and good luck with your books :)

Thanks so much, Jane. It's a good challenge!

[Connie N.]

Welcome, Hayley! This is definitely a good place to hang out and meet other romance lovers. Plus we all love many different kinds of romance styles, so I know you'll find just what you're looking for. Check out the challenges while you're here. They're lots of fun and there are some new ones starting up in just a few days.

Welcome Hayley, glad to have you here!!

[Minerva]

Hi All!
I have been a Goodreads member for a couple of years but have mainly been a "lurker" I love historical romances and mainly read Regency, which I also write. My all time fav author is Madeline Hunter closely followed by Lisa Kleypas. I also love the Georgian series by Elizabeth Holt. I cut my teeth on the oldies like Heyer, Holt, and Cartland. I would really like to discover some new authors as I am a voracious reader. My thanks to whoever put together such a cool group! Cheers, Genevieve

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Genevieve! I loved historical romances as a teen too with my fav author being Heyer ~ and I still love her characterisation and style, even if my current reading is very different ;)

And you can thank Yz for this group! We all love it and spend waaay too much time here ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Genevieve! Historicals were my first love too, I still try to read one or two a month even though I read many other genres now too! I hope you have fun here - I know I do!!

[Sally906]

G'day all

I've been happily participating in the Pass the Parcel challenge and realised I have never actually introduced myself!!

SO


My name is Sally and I am a married grandmother who lives in Australia.

I have been a goodreads member for years and years now - and a challenge addict.

I am fairly eclectic in my reading - but am happy when reading a nice paranormal romance (or paranormal cosy mystery) - the fluffier the better. I don't mind a touch of eroticism in my stories, not at all prudish, but don't like characters who sleep around, I'm not talking about someone who has a few long term relationships that haven't turned out, I am talking about a different boy or girl every night treat them badly type thing - even if they do find true love and settle down. not a biggie really, just not my thing.

I have recently discovered a few alien/human romances which are a new sub-genre for me. So far no tentacles involved - LOL!!!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Sally, glad you are enjoying the PtP. Hopefully some of the other challenges will appeal to you too!

Welcome Sally ~ I know we've chatted already :D ...I can point you in the way of tentacles however they are MM romances ;)

Hope you are having fun in PtP and yes, make sure you look around at the other challenges :D

Welcome to the group, Genevieve! It's much more fun to participate rather than lurk--but we're happy you've been enjoying RRRC. I also have fond memories of the gothic novels of yesteryear. My favorite was always Mary Stewart, with Heyer a close second. But you'll find lots of interesting authors here, with many varieties of the genre mentioned. Have fun!

How nice that you're already participating and enjoying the group! I've recently discovered paranormal romances myself and have been enjoying them immensely. Not sure why I thought I wouldn't like them, but I'm thinking maybe the idea of tentacles was putting me off! (Thanks for that image in my head!) You'll find lots of other challenge addicts here as well. Enjoy!

I wanted to stop in and say hi!
I just joined, I'm hoping that some challenges will give me the push I need to find some new books to read.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Miriam! The challenges have helped me find so many new books and authors! And push me to read some buried on my shelves too. =) I hope you find the help you are looking for!
