Hi Tamara! It is so easy to become addicted to those challenges! Lots of new ones starting up now and then again at the first of the month so good timing. =)

[Tamara]

@Nick Thanks! :)

@ MountainKat I just joined the Pick it for me for now. Got lots of other challenges at the MM group still, hopefully I'll manage to incorporate those books in the challenges I take here (and honestly, that part is the most fun - it's like a puzzle! :D )

Hey there Tamara! Fancy seeing you over here! Welcome and hope you have a blast with the various challenges :D

[Anna]

Hi!
I've joined goodreads last year but I've been pretty passive until now. I love discussing books but a few years back I've switched to reading them in english. Since then I haven't been able to share them with most of my friends so this group seems perfect for that!
Excited to be here :)

[Anabella Shay Xo(RomanceBookWormXoXo)]

I just joined a little while back. I finally joined my first challenge in this group since joining. I am looking forward to it very much! I have a ton of romance books and want to get even more, so this is a good place for me :)

This was how I started ~ I had a heap of books and couldn't decide which to read first! Whilst I'd joined this group to chat, I eneded up immersed in the challenges. And its so much fun fitting books to a challenge. Have fun Ana!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Anna and Ana!! Glad to have you here with us!

[Leah]

Hello all! I'm Leah, 30 years old from Ky. I love to read, mostly romance novels and look forward to getting many book suggestions from the group and participating in challenges!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Leah! Welcome to our little group! =)

Jump on into some challenges and discussions - you will get lots of suggestions. The problem usually is getting too many new ideas and trying to find the time to read them all! There are many challenges just about to get started for April.

Welcome Leah! Hope you find some great books in amongst the challenge shelves ~ enjoy!

[cassandre]

Hello everyone. I'm Cassandre and I'm from Florida. I love to read but I don't know what happend but I haven't pick up a book to read in two years. 2018 is the year so here I am joining your group and going to pick up a few book tomorrow at the library. I'm not sure how the challenges work but I'm looking forward to be part of it.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome cassandre! I feel your pain, when my kids were little and I didn't read for way more years than that. When I started again, I got more than a little obsessive! Good luck getting back into the groove!

And if you need help with any challenges, just ask - everyone is very helpful here. =)

Welcome to the group Cassandre! Hope you find some great books at the library ~ such a great resource :D And the challenges are pretty easy, especially the monthly ones. As Kat says, just ask and someone will answer. If the thread is a bit dead, send one of us mods a PM and we'll help you out :)

Welcome You See Only Me! A lack of friends who read romance was precisely why I joined GR and this group. It worked out really well :) Hope you find some new books on our shelves!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi You See Only Me and welcome to the group! I hope you find what you are looking for. =)

[Nicole]

I just joined. I am an author of romantic fiction. I specialize in lgbtq novels, and I love my job.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hope you enjoy the group Nicole and best wishes with your writing 🙂

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Nicole and welcome! Hope to see you in some discussions and like Jane said, good luck with your work!

[Nash]

Hi, I'm Nash, 17 and from the UK.

I joined to try and make more romance reading friends, since pretty much no one in my age group reads it. And I could really use more reading motivation because school always keeps be busy.

I look forward to being part of the group! c:

Welcome to the group Nash! I think a lot of us have no RL friends who read romance. ...And yet it is the largest genre of the fiction readers I believe! LOL - ah well, at least we can all chat about the great books we've read here :D Enjoy!

[Nash]

Jane (PS) wrote: "Welcome to the group Nash! I think a lot of us have no RL friends who read romance ..."

Thank you! c:

I think that's because we're all a bit secretive about it... Well, at least I am.

[Angel]

Hello, my name is Angel. I really like all kinds of romance books, erotica and suspense the most, and I don't read much historical romance. I am looking forward to finding some more good romance books although I already have so many on my Want To Read list. Oh, well ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Nash and Angel! You both sound like you are going to fit right in here and we are glad to have you!

Yes - I tend to not talk about it much, but I know that's cos my mother disapproves even though I'm now 50 yo!! Crazy. But I don't shy away from talking about a book I loved, romance or no :D

Welcome to the group Angel! I'm no longer big on historical either ~ I read a heap in my teens and now it just doesn't grab me :(

...And the never-ending To Read list is exactly that in my case ~ it only ever expands; never contracts LOL!

[Ashley Kai]

Hey y'all, I'm Ashley and I'm from Texas. I am a college senior that loves to read in any and every bit of spare time that I have. I spent the first 8 years of my life hating reading, but then like a light switch, it flipped completely and now I spend most of my spare time reading.

[Taylor]

Hi everyone! My name is Taylor and I'm from Pennsylvania. I love to read - mainly romance novels and mysteries/thrillers, but I'm open to most genres. I'm looking forward to getting recommendations from this group and members to expand my reading list. I love holding a book, but have recently gotten into Audiobooks since I spend a lot of time in my car. Hoping to read over 30 books this year!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Ash and Taylor!! Welcome to the group!

Sorry I missed your intro earlier Ash ~ I was at work and things can slide :) Its weird how something you avoid suddenly becomes something you almost obsess over... I went years without reading, and now I'm back in the thick of it :)

Most of my reading is now through audiobooks Taylor. Like you I spend a fair bit of time driving - I love them and they make such a difference to a journey. The narrators are generally fabulous ~ such an art.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Ashley and Taylor!

You sound a lot like my littlest one, he was not a reader at all - until he was! He discovered the magic with Harry Potter. =) Now his wish lists include mostly books!

I'm another big audio lover Taylor! I live in the boonies, so even a trip to the grocery store is several hours of listening. They save me from feeling like I am wasting so much time in the car. Now it is precious time and I am frustrated when someone is in the car with me and I can't listen!

[Byrdie]

Hi everyone! I've been on Goodreads for years, but only just got an account last month. Love discussing books! I'm mostly into romance, but I like fantasy and horror as well. Hope this group can help me get more reading done.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Elise!! Any of the challenges should help with more reading ~ it’s fitting the books you want to read to the themes that can be tricky.

Enjoy!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Elise! Challenges are a great way to increase your reading, but be warned they can be addicting!

[Hazel]

Hi I’m Hazel from Glasgow, Scotland. I love reading and like a challenge. I’ve put myself into the next pick for me challenge. Looking forward to seeing what is picked and to do some picking.

H x

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Welcome Hazel and glad you see you jumping right in! I hope you enjoy it here. =)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Hazel! Looking forward to exchanging picks in our next round of Meet n Greet 🙂

[Hazel]

Thanks looking forward to it 😁

[kuhi]

umm hi.. i just joined this group but i am a total addict. i am addicted to mostly teen romances since i can relate with them. so yeah hi. btw i just finished what to say next by sarah dessen.

[Sammy]

hello just joined. I love a good romance story. though I don't have any specific type of romance I enjoy most. I did really enjoy wallbanger by Alice Clayton. i like a romance that just sweeps me up into the story. bonus if it can make me laugh or cry. or both is preferred.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Kuhi and Samantha!! Great to have you both here.

We read a wide range of romance, from the young adult through to some pretty creepy stuff (disclaimer: I avoid most horror ;). Hopefully you will both find plenty to keep you occupied amongst our pages.

Don't be backward in asking any questions ~ everyone is very happy to help :D

[Amelia]

Hi, I'm Amelia and I recently joined Goodreads. I love romance, but I will read a lot of genres. So, yeah, that's me.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Amelia - sounds like you will fit right in. Whilst we predominantly read romance, a lot of members read other genres as well. Our challenges are pretty focussed on romance-related tropes though :)

Enjoy!

[Danielle]

Hi everyone. Im Lauren for the UK.
I decided to give reading a go this year for my New Years resolution and its only May and im completely hooked. I had no idea how addictive it can be. I'm loving romance at the moment especially dark and gritty. As im also new to Goodreads too im really looking to share my journey and discover some new books and hopefully make some friends along the way :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Lauren!! So pleased you joined us :)

We have a heap of challenges to inspire your reading and just trawling through our shelves will hopefully provide fodder for new books!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Wow, so many new members! ( I thought I was only busy for a couple of days...)

Welcome kuhi, Samantha, Amelia and Lauren!! Have lots of fun here and I hope to see you around in some challenges!

[Natalie]

Hi! I joined a long time ago but just haven't had time to join in :)

[Dylan]

Hi! I'm Bianca, I read every chance I get, and romance is one of my favorite genres. I'm looking forward to participating in some of the challenges to discover more books and meet fellow romance readers. :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Join in whenever you can Natalie - the more the merrier!

Welcome Bianca - hope you enjoy the challenges. I find find waaay too many books trawling through the posts and checking our others reading :D

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Natalie and Bianca!! Welcome to the group - I hope you have as much fun here as I do! =)
