Hey, guys! Welcome to the group!

[Nik]

Hullo, everyone. I'm Nik. I've had a Goodreads account for ages and like using it to keep track of what I've read, am reading, and want to read. I participated in the challenge (my first) last year and failed rather miserably. This year, I wanted to participate a little more actively in the whole community aspect of the site, so I joined this group…

…and immediately got overwhelmed by the number of post and the frequency of discussion updates. =) So I just left the browser tab open for a few days and now I'm taking a bit of time to look through and see what's what. I started by publishing my challenge thread and now I'm introducing myself. On to step 3. =]

Nice to meetcha. Good luck to you all in achieving the goals you've set for yourself, and hope you enjoy your journey as much as I plan to enjoy mine.

[Ashley]

Welcome Nik! Yes it can get a bit overwhelming because we do post a lot. We're glad you chose this group, and look forward to chatting books with you! :)

Just making my rounds on a few groups, love to be apart of goodreads! It's my site that I will always be on!

[Ashley]

Welcome to the group, Mary! You're not the only bookaholic, lol. I usually have up to 4 books going at one time.

We're glad you chose to be part of our group! :)

Hello, my name is Nancy.
I found this group through another member (Taylor) and I love reading books that catch my attention. I have a little trouble reading a book that I don't like or have trouble getting into it, so I tend to stop reading it and move on. I can read any books but I only have two favorite authors that I can read all day. They are: Vince Flynn and Jim Butcher. I have read all of there books and love them.

I aluays liked to read modern mysteries but I'm trying to diversify my reading.

[Anna]

Welcome everyone :)

[Quenby]

Hello! I've had a Goodreads account for a few years but rarely used it. Of course one of my resolutions this year is to read more, so I think joining in on some of the discussions here will help! You have some fun challenges listed here and I'm excited to sign up for a few. Looking forward to some good discussion :)

[Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫]

Hi, I'm Lindsay. I'm addicted to goodreads. I've been on it for about a year now. Also within the past year I have rediscovered reading for pleasure, not just reading "assigned materials" for classes. Now I read, read, read and I LOVE IT. I am in another challenge group but (don't tell) I'm getting a little bored of it. This group seems to have some unique, fresh challenge ideas so I am very excited to get started! See you around! :)

I think many of us in here are bookaholic, including myself

[Anna]

Hi all and welcome to everyone ...

[Rebeca]

Hi everyone!
My name is Rebeca, and I am passionate about books. I don't think I have a favourite genre, since I read everything that appeals to me, but if I had to choose I'd have to say classics, and historical fiction, and maybe mystery, sci-fi and dystopian novels.
Usually I read books in portuguese and english.
I'm glad to join you, and looking forward to meet you :)

[Colby]

Hi. I am Nicole. I have always been an avid reader. I do enjoy to write a little when I feel inspired. I have been a book collector since I was 16. Right now I have over 1400 and that does not include the educational, spiritual, and self-help. I would be absolutely thrilled to make some new friends here.

[Colby]

I'm new to the group thing here. It may take me a bit to get adjusted.

[Colby]

I've been collecting since I was 16. I recently moved cross country and was given the option of bringing the books or the bookshelves. I brought the books. I was disappointed that the current read included nothing that I own. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[Anna]

Welcome Rebecca and Nicole ...

[Colby]

Thanks for the welcome. I'm already liking this group.

[Colby]

I am currently reading The Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson. I am on number 8 now.

[Anna]

Sounds interesting Colby gonna check those out for my next reads...

[Colby]

The First and the Third were the best of the series thus far. I was very impressed.

I just finished the 2nd book. The 3rd is on my list for this month.

[Ashley]

Welcome, welcome! I see a new series I think I should start! :)

[Jodi]

Hi, my name is Jodi. I live in British Columbia Canada. I love the idea of setting challenges. I don't know if I can list the books I want to read. There are so many and it often depends on my mood. Since getting my kindle I have been reading much more. I look forward to the challenge.

[black lamb]

hi, i'm ariel or black lamb. since i got my kindle fire in january, i've finally started reading recreationally again - long story but before that i couldn't afford to keep buying books so i was just rereading the same books on my shelf over and over and over... aaaand now i have access to whatever i want! i decided to challenge myself to read 52 (new to me) books a year, one a week, with no other qualifiers as long as i finish it. :3

[Lara]

Hi there!
My name is Lara and I just joined today. I am currently in school and working part-time. I have always enjoyed reading, and despite all my course readings I still try and get some 'me books' in. I have challenged myself to read 25 books by the end of the year. The only rules are: no re-reads and no textbooks.

[Jack]

Welcome and good luck with your challenges! :-)

[Cassidy]

Hi! I'm Cassidy, I figured I might as well join this group since I've been on goodreads for a while now. I like this group since it's motivational and I can read the books I want to read :D

[Jack]

Welcome Cassisy!

[Kara]

Welcome, all! Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

[Alessia]

Hi everyone! I'm Alessia and I'm from Italy. I've been on the group for a while now (since the end of December I think) and I'm participating in the TBR twins forum, but I hadn't introduced myself yet(shame on me!). So sorry =) I really like the challenges you have here, they're so original.
My favourite genres are classics and literary fiction, with a bit of sci-fi and some non-fiction thrown in from time to time. I usually read in Italian (my mother tongue) and English. I'm fond of English literature, ever since I read Pride and Prejudice when I was 15.

I used to read a lot but I've been really busy lately and then I realized that I read only 15 books in 2012, so I decided to challenge myself: my goal is to read at least 50 books this year.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to talking to you and participating more in the forums.
Ciao :)

[Jack]

Welcome Alessia!

[Anna]

Welcome to all new members glad to have you...Feel free to add me as a friend ...

[Alessia]

Thanks everyone for your welcoming messages :)

[Jen]

Hi all. This is my first group on Goodreads so I'm an excited little newbie. :)

My name is Jen. I'm from Georgia (the state not the republic) and as you might have guessed, I love to read. I'm lucky enough to work at a small, independently owned bookstore, and my TBR pile is becoming more of a mountain at this point. I read almost any genre, but my favorites are General Fiction/Literature, History, Mystery/Thriller and Chick Lit.

I just joined the 2013 challenge in the last week or two, and I've set a goal of reading 100 books this year. So far, so good. My other goal is to write reviews for the books I read, which I'm terrible about. I love reading other people's reviews, and I feel like I need to contribute more.

Other than reading my favorite topics are travel, animals, nail polish (my guilty pleasure) and history. If anyone wants to friend me, feel free.

[Jack]

Hi Jen, welcome to the group. My goal is 100 books this year too! :-)

[Kalee]

Hi everyone. This is my first group on good reads. I am hoping it will help me keep accountable to my goal of reading 100 books this year. I have always wanted to read 100 books in a year, and have been keeping track of what I read in a notebook since 2002. Somehow though I always get sidetracked and haven't made it to 100 books in a year yet, hopefully this year I will!

Right now I am into reading YA sci-fi/fantasy/dystopian novels. I have also been reading a lot of Christian fiction, but I like other genres, I just go through spurts where I read more of one kind of book than others. Currently I read a lot of what I find for free on Amazon for my Kindle.

[Jack]

Hi Kalee. This group is great for helping people complete their challenge. I certainly don't think I could complete my goal of 100 books without it. Welcome!

[Elizabeth Hamor]
