My name is Jayna. I'm currently living in the Parker County/Weatherford area. I've been a life long reader. I have always enjoyed reading and grew up being read to. I'm hooked on the A Song of Ice and Fire series currently(on book 5), the books the HBO series Game of Thrones is based off of. I dabble in a bit of everything, YA, horror, a little romance, history, sci fi, fantasy...Really everything except for the mystery genre. I'm here to meet new people and get some friends. I've been on Goodreads for a long time and I have NO friends! ):

Due to an interesting set of circumstances, I have written a novel, which recently became available.

My name is Matthew and I just moved to Dallas- on the border of Dallas and Collin counties. I've been reading for as long as I remember. I average 2-3 books a week, although that fizzles out every so often when I run out of good things to read (or money to buy books). I read a lot of fantasy and literary fiction. Lately, I've been reading some magical realism type things.
Nice to (kind of) meet everyone.






Of course, I have been a reader all my life, started especially with Edgar Rice Burroughs in my middle school years. When I ran out of his Tarzan books, I moved to John Carter of Mars and other series. I started reading Stephen King in high school and have kept up with him ever since.
Lately, I've been reading past Pulitzer Prize winners (although not exclusively as I'm just finishing White Noise: by Don Delillo). I think I've read over 40 of them now. I'm about to start The Caine Mutiny.


I'm Julia. Ever since I was a kid I've always had a book with me. I like History books, Biography, the Classics and some modern fiction and fantasy. Basically I like anything that is intellectually stimulating. I'm currently on the lookout for history books that delve into the politics of the time. Any suggestions?




Hi Tommy, The French Revolution is always fascinating, as well as Russian History. I just finished the History of Rome podcast, so something more in depth from that period would be interesting too. Also I unfortunately received a typical Euro-centric perspective from the American education system, so my knowledge of the History of Latin America, Asia and Africa is sparse. I would love opportunities to correct this though!

Welcome! Dracula is a really good one! I find it funny that with all the film adaptations out there, the closest one to the book is "Dracula Dead and Loving it" by Mel Brooks.

I made one, If anyone wants to jump over and help get it started: https://www.goodreads.com/group/invit...
