[Nancy]

Hi! I'm Nancy White, two people here writing Romance under one penname. Completely new to Goodreads but excited by the Romance community, and excited to join the group :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi all, I'm Mhàire and I'm new Goodreads.
I am a bookworm in a houseful of grownup Gamers. I like to read a Variety of Genre to keep things interesting.
I've been a Bookworm since I was able to pick up a book. I'm now in my 40's and would love some bookish friends 😅

[Afonso]

Hi, I’m Afonso from Portugal.
Looking to join the group and have some ideas on what to read next, nice to meet you!

[Amber]

Hi, I'm Amber.
I've been a bookworm, pretty much my whole life. I'm mostly a mood reader and I'm hoping these challenges help me get thru my extensive TBR.

Welcome Amber! The challenges certainly help me work through my books, so hope it works for you :)

[JT]

Hello all,

I was an avid reader prior to adulthood, I've recently gotten back into the swing of it. I'm always struggling to find my next read. I think I'm a big mood reader so if the vibe of a book isn't quite right I struggle to get through it. I look forward to trying some challenges to hopefully help in that.

Welcome to the group JT! I get into moods sometimes too, but I then just default to comfort reads, or take a break. But most of my reading is in audio, so listening is always easy ;)

Hope the challenges help!

[Melody]

Hello, I'm Melody. I'm 16 years old and I've been reading ever since elementary school but ended up in a big reading slump in years, so I'm looking for books right now. I had good reads but didn't use it as much, so hopefully I get some book recommendations. <3

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Melody! Hope you find some books to pull you out of your reading slump :)

[Supurna]

Hi all, I am Supurna from India. I am a bi-laterally hearing impaired mother of a 6-year-old, an entrepreneur and a debut author. I am addicted to contemporary and historical romance fiction. My book 'Take me to your heart' is on the same genre. I am here to make friends with like-minded people, voracious readers and delve deeper into the world of books. If anyone wishes to connect, please do feel free to add me.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Rashi, Supurna and Kristen! Hope you find some great books here to read! If you don't understand a challenge, and sometimes its because we use abbreviations 😉, just ask in any of the current threads or send a Mod a message.

[larissa]

Hi my name is Larissa and reading makes life better (and pets). I like to read depending on my mood, but I read mostly romance novels because who doesn’t want love in their life. My favorite series right now is Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber. 🍎

[Risqué]

Hello! My name is Kristen and reading has been my life for as long as I can remember. I don't know what I would do without books, to be honest.
Romance is a fairly new genre to me though I have to admit that I have been diving head first in for the past few months and I am really looking forward to finding some new romance recommendations. I have been reading magic-realism romance recently, mostly witchy romance novels but I am open to learning about any and all possibilities out there!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Larissa and Kristen!! So pleased you have joined us.; hope you have fun checking out the books in this group. And make sure you check out the challenges ~ lots to keep you busy!

[The Bibliophile]

Hello, I’m looking for romance novels about older women- at least 30s and up. I just can’t relate to teen and twenty something love stories. Would love to read some about women going through real life struggles such as divorce, cheated on, becoming widowed, etc and their ability to overcome. I guess I prefer deeper love stories. Please give me some recommendations. Thanks!

[Darcy]

Hi Everyone, I just joined and am so looking forward to this group! I love to read all things romance and am an avid audiobook listener as well. I'm always looking for something new to read (even though my TBR list is always a mile long).

A few that come to mind are Role Playing by Cathy Yardley, Bring Me Back and Gray Hair Don't Care by Karen Booth, Snap Out of It by Maddie Dawson, Dirty Little Midlife Crisis by Lilian Monroe, and This Time Is Different by Mae Wood. Not sure any of these are especially deep, but they involve women over 40 who have been through some of the struggles you mentioned.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Marie and Darcy!! Sorry I missed your earlier comment re older women romances Marie ~ its been a very busy month, plus I'm transferring computers and trying to work out the finer details of Apple 🤔🫥

Thanks for your input Darcy!! I don't think I have any particular recommendations! I recall that Jayne Ann Krentz / Jayne Castle tends toward older heroines but I don't think they meet your other criteria. ;)

[Ashley]

Hi! I'm an avid romance reader. Pretty much all tropes, genres, and levels of spice (though I do lean towards the spicier end of the spectrum). None of my friends/family are big readers, so I joined to link up with more of my people ;) I only recently got more active on this site, so I'm looking to add to my friends list and my never ending TBR.

Hi Marie! If you're into PNR or fantasy, I'd suggest K.F. Breene's Magical Midlife series and Shannon Mayer's Forty Proof series.

Welcome to the group Ashley! It's difficult if your family aren't readers ~ mine read, but they tend toward autobiographies etc. I'd rather read something that I KNOW isn't real. I do not need to worry about things that might come true!! 😂

[Sabrina]

Just joined! I’ve been reading historical romance since I was 8 years old. Just starting to reread some favourite Jude deveraux and other epic authors.

[Noah]

Hi :)
I am your latest member; but to be honest, I have never read a romantic book (just books with some romantic element). But I bought Frankly in Love and Check and Mate, so I will truly be a member of this group soon :P
I am Austrian, so I will read books in German and English :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Sabrina & Noah!!

You are in good company with Jude D, Sabrina!

Noah - we will be interested to hear how your first foray into a fully fledged romance book goes!!

[Laura]

Hi. I‘m Laura and 27 years old (almost 28). I have always loved reading books, as long as I can remember anyway lol.
I‘m from Germany , a swiftie, a hopeless romantic and currently I love to read slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, no smut, wordbuilding-fantasy. If anyone can relate to that, I would love to hear some good book recommendations and maybe find new nice people to talk about books and other stuff :)

Welcome to the group Laura! I'm sure there are some members that relate to your romance preferences. Its just a matter of whether they are checking in 😁 Hope you find some like-minded readers 🥰

[Julie]

Hi. I'm Julie from Australia. I fell in love with reading as a teen, with a soft spot for romance, fantasy & sci fi. Sadly, I'm a bookworm in a household of gamers so I'd love to make some bookworm friends.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome to the group Julie!! I don't have a heap of friends who read (esp romance ~ if any?) so I totally understand the need to find other bookwormers :) The best part is seeing what everyone else is reading - and then commenting if you both strike common ground.

Have fun!

[Selena]

Hi!! I just joined. My name is Selena and I'm really trying to push myself to complete my goals this year involving art, my career, and reading. I'm so excited to read more rom-coms. I'm a sucker for romance.

[Catsalive]

I'm Kylie from Australia.

Shan ~A~, you mentioned something about a challenge that I hadn't heard of before, so I'm blaming you for my joining another group. 😂

I mostly like Regency & ChickLit/Women'sFic/Contemporary with protagonists over 30 & a bit of humour. I think of it as an extension to another love of mine, Fantasy.

[MM]

Hi all! I'm M!
I'm fairly new to GR, learning how to work this site, join groups while also participating in said groups via challenges etc. I am reviving my love of reading. I love romance books. There are so many I haven't read or are behind on lol
If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to DM! or even add me :)

[Frances]

Hi! My name is Frances, I'm currently hooked on dark romance and fantasy romance. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I also love reading romance and romantic suspense. Anything with royalty or bodyguards and *swoon* I can’t put the book down!
