Welcome to the group Ashlee and Sondra!!

The challenges are great for finding new books and jumping in to read others that you may have set aside 🙂

Just post in a thread if you have any questions! Members are always ready to help newbies.

Hello and Happy New Year.

I have heard of it but it's no where close to me. If I remember correctly it's over 200 miles South West of me??

Okay back to my introduction, I am a mom of 6 but also a mom of 2.. I had custody of my 4 niece's till recently. Their mom finally got to a point of where she could take care of them so this past summer I went from having 5 girls and 1 boy to having 2 Girls and 1 boy. Now 1 boy and 1 girl are of age and they are away at school. Now I just have 1 child at home. I work part time and most times I feel lost with nothing much to do compared to a house full of kid's. I am also a wife with a great husband who work's allot. I have a fire and my phone, going to try kick some of the book's on it down. Even though I'm always finding more in my library or on unlimited that I want to read.. it is so hard to stay on one track sometimes.

Whoa - sounds like you were BUSY! Good luck adjusting, and what better way than with romance and books in general 😊

[Raye]

Hi, I'm Raye and I love reading.

Romance was the first genre I started to collect series in, though I read a lot of different genres.

I am a massive fan of historical and contemporary, but I am always on the lookout for new authors and sub genres.

oh, I've also started a podcast to follow me on my reading journey this year bit.ly/rr-sounder, and I am the co-host on a 100% romance-focused podcast called Romance isn't Dead http://bit.ly/rid-podbean.

So, if you have new book/author recommendations, or are looking for an active friend on Goodreads, say hi...

[Trisha]

Hello. I enjoy reading listening to audible. Mostly romance.

Welcome Trisha! I love audible's books too :)

[Monica]

Hello all! I just joined this group. I love romance books. Actually I just love books. I read mystery, romance, paranormal, literature fiction, contemporary fiction, and my list could go on. I will give any book a chance. I try to finish every book I start to read. I Don't think I have ever DNF a book.

I am a divorced mother of 2 adult children, so you would think I have all the time in the world to read, but alas I do not. I work full time in a local school districts special education department. I also work extra duty for games to earn some extra income. I also sell Avon on the side. I have recently started a beginners water color art class at our local library.

Oh, and my name is Monica and I Live in Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. My daughter is expecting her first child so I will be a grandmother this May!! I am also dating so that puts a cramp in my reading time.

I have a kindle fire which I do enjoy reading on but I do prefer books more then the digital ones. One of my fave Authors is Johanna Lindsey who died in October of 2019. My goal is to read all of her books. Not sure if I will finish them all this year but I would really love to read all her books, and I own a lot of them.

Happy Reading all!! And sorry for the long introduction!!

Welcome to the group Monica! Hope you have fun checking out our challenges & bookshelves in between ‘real life’ 😊 Could be a squeeze!

Good luck with the dating, and being a grandmother!!

Hello! I'm Faegan (Fay-Gen) I stumbled upon this group on the community page! I live in the state of Florida, *gestures to the piping hot weather, palm trees, and overpriced living for the low wages* I love reading; I mostly read fantasy-romance but I also have a special place in my heart for contemporary.

Welcome Faegan! You'll find plenty of members here reading those two sub-genres so just in and check out their books ~ either join the challenges or just browse bookshelves :)

LOL re Florida - at least you don't have to spend a fortune of cold-weather clothes!!

[Jenna]

Hello! I'm Jenna, currently living in California. I joined this group because a friend recommended the meet & greet challenges for me to try. I'm also new to the romance genre (I don't think I've read one before). I plan to browse the book recommendation discussions but would love any suggestions on where to start :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Jenna! Hope you enjoy your first taste of the romance genre. That sounds like a bit of a deep dive!! Enjoy browsing 😊

[Laura]

Hello! I'm Laura and I just found this group. I am from west Texas. I looked at some of these challenges and think they are interesting. I am going to start with the In Uniform challenge and go from there. Any tips wold be welcome!!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Laura - welcome to the group!

Hope you enjoy the In Uniform challenge :) My only real tip is to check out other members' lists in the threads and if you find a trend in common with a member - check out their shelves for books you haven't read.

[Christine]

Hello! My name is Charee, and, ever since I can remember, I've always been a huge reader. After I came across Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell back in high school, I fell in love with the romance genre and that's all I've been reading since. I've had this acct for a few years now and would only use it to keep track of my books, but I recently decided to be more active in the site so I'm excited to explore and chat with others about books in this group! ♡

[Apoorva]

Hi everyone! I am Apoorva and I am a total book drunkard, it's like an addiction that I have no desire of ridding myself of.
I like contemporary romance ( especially sports romance novels, enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience and several others...) And mysteries! Bonus points of it's a murder mystery AND a romance!
Looking forward to discussing books with everyone here :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi, I've been a keen reader for decades but only recently started to read romance. Interesting to see how many different genres there are in romance.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Jacki! Yes - until you join these sort of websites, I suspect much of the breadth of the genre is unknown to readers... 🙃
