Welcome to the group Anne! Hope you find a heap more books to read within our threads and shelves :D Best wishes with your writing!
Hi Nandie and Anne and welcome to the group! Hope to see you both in some challenges soon!

Welcome to the group Heather!! Hope you have fun here :D
Hello,My name is Chelsea. I love to read and have since I can remember. I do not remember a time I did not read. I joined this group because I like to read romance (among other genres). My all time favorite author is Danielle Steel so where best to join my first group than one I can talk about her novels in.
I can not even begin to count how many books I have to read. I will just say that while I was in college I found no time to read, but bought books that sounded interesting and now I have a bunch. I am slowly working through them though. I hope that the challenges will motivate me to read even more. I look forward to all this group has to offer!

Welcome to the group Chelsea!! Well I have to admit that I haven't ever read a Danielle Steel book, but I'm sure heaps in this group have. Good luck getting through that pile of books from college. We all seem to have a good-sized backlog of books to read, and the challenges are great for picking out which one to read next ;)
Hi Chelsea and welcome! Challenges definitely help to get through the piles - I know I read lots more than I did before starting them!
I really like reading novels of any genre, but a great fraction of the books I read are centered on romance. Who the heck on earth doesn't like wonderfully written romance books?

Me too! Really life is depressing enough, I want happy endings!
Hi everyone! I'm Alex and I love to read, especially romance! I've been on Goodreads for several years but just started getting social this year when I started my blog. I'm excited to join this group and to have fun with some reading challenges!
Welcome Alex! And my apologies for the lateness of that welcome - I hope I'm not the only one crazy busy right now, hopefully you understand.This is a great group, super friendly too! And you picked a great time to join with all sorts of new challenges starting. Have fun!

Glad you decided to join us - it took me a while to join a group as well when I first jumped on GR, but I didn't look back after that. The groups are great platforms to finding more books and chatting with like-minded readers :D

Hi! I'm Kristy. I just joined the group and I'm looking forward to participating in some of the challenges in the new year. I grew up in a family that read a book pretty much every day but then RL interfered with that hobby and I forgot how much I enjoyed reading in the stress and chaos of life. Last year I rediscovered my passion for romance novels and I'm quickly making up for lost time! I have a lot of missed reads from over the years in my future!

When I restarted, there were all these wonderful romances just waiting for me to pick up :D The challenges really help you find books too, simply by seeing what other members are reading. Enjoy!

No worries, I completely understand! I was just saying the other day how I've barley read anything the past week because the holidays have me so busy.
Hello everyone. I am new to goodreads, so I guess that in and of itself is a challenge for me. I'm just learning to navigate this wonderful virtual bookshelf.
I like to read YA, Thrillers, Fiction and I love Regency Romance. I also love challenges. I'm not sure where I'll fit in, but I'm looking forward to the New Year and some 2018 challenges.
When I'm not reading, I'm sewing or writing or coloring and I do all these things well into the night owl hours.
My favorite romance author is Judith McNaught. Favorite Regency is "Almost Heaven" by the same author. I'm always on the lookout for her style of writing.
Cheers!
~Shannon

I love romances, but there is a definite gap in my reading and I'm discovering new authors and catching up with old ones. Looking forward to seeing what you find. Right now I'm reading Janna MacGregor the Bad Luck Bride.

Hi everyone,I' m Sweetly ( pen name - Sarah) from India. I am an entrepreneur by passion in Medical Field - UK based for the past 12 years and by profession I am a teacher. I am an avid reader of books.
I am basically here as a flashlight to help my best pal. Also I am here to learn a lot from all established authors and their esteemed works.
I do plan to eventually come out with a self-published book in Children's Literature in November of 2018 and an enchanting and thought-provoking script that has the potential to be made into a movie. I enjoy gardening and I am currently pursuing a new hobby knitting.
Looking forward for help and guidance.
:-)

I was an avid horror reader and occasional romance reader through my teen years (was a damn long time ago), but picked up the habit again about ten years ago with, yes, Twilight. But my thirst for reading grew with authors like Diana Gabaldon, J.R. Ward, and Karen Marie Moning (just to name a few). I started writing when my budget couldn't keep up with my thirst. I just finished my first series (woo!). In between writing, I still read the occasional book, and devour audiobooks when I can't read. I just joined Playster as the library could no longer support my habit. Well, that's me in a nutshell. Hope to join some of the challenges here!!
