You shouldn't have to be. For me, FB is where all the strands of my life come together. I am more "me" on there than anywhere else on social media.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Me too. And I have a private profile so I don't have to worry about randoms seeing number plates or personal details of where I live etc.. Being private just allows me to be myself a bit more.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Mine is private too. Unless I have had interaction with someone somewhere else, I don't let them into my life on FB. If I accept a friend request on there, I know the person, one way or another.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I'm the same.
There's a lot of members of our group here that I've wanted to be fb friends with too... but I hate the idea of putting people in an situation where they don't want to be facie mates and know they'll offend me if they decline. So, I have been reluctant to to that step. For the record, so people know..
I've been fb mates with Dawn, Lisa, Ace, Margaret and Mark for many years. I recently became fb mates with Andy because I'd always been too shy to ask.

The pandemic made me realise, there's a lot of people in A&M that if something happened to you, like Covid, I'd never know. That was a sad feeling, so I started tipping my toe in the water of asking another couple people to be mates on FB who I felt wouldn't shut the door in my face. :-)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Originally a stack of typos in that last post. Lol. Fixed now.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

And now I'm also fb mates with Allie too! 🤗

And you found me :)
I checked my settings and it was set already to “everyone can send a friend request” so maybe there are just way too many Allie Bee’s on there!

No worries on my end, Terri (or anyone else). I’m the same person online everywhere....although Goodreads is a bit classier so I swear much more on Facebook. Too funny!

I’ve been a member of our group here Facebook page for a few years now. Didn’t think many people would recognize me though because I’m not as active here (through no fault of the group’s - group reads were just harder to come by than best selling YA or contemporary books that my other groups read so therefore, less active. And I don’t have a personal picture here like I do on Facebook). I see Mark all the time on the Facebook group but didn’t want him to be all “who’s this?!” if I friended him. (If you’re reading this, hi mark lol.)

Fair warning...if you friend me on Facebook....I post A LOT of pictures of my niece and nephew. Like, a lot. People probably get sick of it!

And you’re absolutely right, Terri! If something happens to someone from our group, we may never know about it like we probably would from Facebook.

What a minute...that Andy is our Andy???

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yes! That's our Andy. Hit him up.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

It's a shame FB doesn't have a 'leave a message' when you send a friend request like Goodreads has. All you can do is send a friend request and cross your fingers.

I know some people like the anonymity on GR and like to keep their GR life seperate to their FB life. But I'm like Allie. I don't have anything to hide. The person I am here on GR, is the person on FB and in real life. I'm just a bit more sweary on FB. Anybody who I enjoy the company of on GR, I am going to enjoy the company of on FB.

[Simona]

One day I'll have to join Facebook.
I'm just skittish about socials.

I have done. :)

If you're careful, Simona, it can be worthwhile.

[May]

Me, too... please!!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I found you on FB and sent you a friend request, May. :-)

[Adrian]

As a member who only dips in and out of GR, and FB for that matter, I'm not going to get on the front foot and hassle anyone but am happy to accept any friend requests that come from this group. If you can find me. When I do go on FB, I tend to do a lot of ranting about everything that annoys me...which some find charming.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Scumbag College?

[Adrian]

It's part of my deliberate misinformation to deflect scammers.

But we were certainly all Scumbags...

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Well, I certainly didn't go to that college, but I may have gone to it's highschool.

[Laura Tenfingers]

I don't know how to find any of you on facebook but if you find me I'll be your friend😁

[Adrian]

Laura Ninefingers would be easier to find...

[Laura Tenfingers]

Laura Tenfingers of Justice... I think that sounds about right. :D

May wrote: "Terri, I found your Friend Request!! We’re on!"

I saw the notification this morning! Welcome! :-D

[May]

I’m still trying to find Laura Tenfingers on FB...

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I'd say, she's teasing. haha. Laura won't be on FB as Tenfingers. ;-)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Looking for Laura Tenfingers will send you on a wild goose chase.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

May wrote: "Terri, I found your Friend Request!! We’re on!"

I've sent you one as well, May. :)

[May]

Just found it Margaret! Thank you. BTW - I have Book 2 on my shelf! Can’t wait!!

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

i hope you enjoy it. I have had a couple of people tell me that they think this one is better than the first. :D

[Laura Tenfingers]

Yeah, not Tenfingers on facebook, sorry... Laura Pletsch-Rivera

I found May! 😁

[Dawn]

So, I just need to peruse Terri's FB friends to find you all??

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Dawn wrote: "So, I just need to peruse Terri's FB friends to find you all??"

Basically, yes. :D

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Dawn wrote: "So, I just need to peruse Terri's FB friends to find you all??"

haha. Yes, well, that might be the easiest way.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I can't send Laura a friend request yet, because we need a friend in common. I have a private profile too, so Laura may not be able to send me a friend request either.

I can always change my settings briefly so anyone with a private profile can send me a friends request though.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I can't believe there's a new Twilight book. Hasn't the world move don from sparkly vampires?

[Allison]

Found Margaret, Andy, and Dawn on Facebook...they were staring me in the face when I logged in today as “people you may know”. So that was helpful!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Sheesh. That must have been frightening.

;-)

Ha! I just got that for you and Dawn 😁

[Dawn]

I am always amazed at the suggestions I get. Some of them are scarily accurate.
Though, I have spent years friending people for games and that tends to really mess things up. :)
