Coraline,I tried to send you a friend request but it asks how many pets you own, and I have no idea :). Feel free to friend request me if you are still looking for friends. I love the friends feature- especially the way you can see what others are reading that you've missed. I get lots of book ideas off of my friend's lists.
Yz also does a challenge in the PNR group one month that has us making friends to complete it. I don't know if she's doing it again soon, but look for those. It is a great way to find new friends.
