In the same spirit, I'll extend a welcome to my friend Bruce, another recent joiner. Glad to have you with us!
Welcome, also, Adrianne and Bruce... thanks for joining us! Please post freely! :-)
Welcome, all new members and friends of friends!
I'm late catching up, but thank you for the invitation and I'm delighted to join. Nice group!
Welcome to the group, Sheila! We're very glad to have you here. :)
Belated welcome to Micheline--thanks for joining--and a much more timely welcome to Jamina--thanks for joining Litwit Lounge, too! I hope you enjoy your visits here!
Thanks Callista for the invite! I'm looking forward to discussing some great reads :)
Thank you, Charly. Hello, everyone! I'm Angela and I'm really loving this site! (:
Welcome new and old, please join in! :-)
Hi! I was looking for a group to join and this seemed the right one. My name is Catarina, I live in Portugal and I've love reading since I learned to read. I've been teaching English to young children since I finished my degree in Languages and Literatures and, besides reading, I love music, mostly 60's, 50's, 70's and well, also 80's music, I guess; oh, and I like classical music as well (don't be surprised if, when talking about music, I talk a lot about the Beatles, because, though I'm young, I'm a great Beatles' fan). When talking about literature, I love the classics, especially 19th and early 20th century classics and Fantasy. Well, I think I've already talked a lot about myseflf, so that's all for now. Nice to meet you all! :)
Hi! I just welcomed you on another thread... glad to have you join our group. :-)
Thank you for the kind greeting! If interested, please see my profile for an introduction about me. Thanks again.
Thank you for such a warm welcome! I'm from a little seaside town in South Australia, I'm 35 years old and a freelance editor. I love the 'feel' of this group - I have been looking for a place in which I can discuss literature at a deeper level amongst a close-knit community of friends. It looks like I may have found it. Please feel free to view my profile and send me a friend request or PM if you think we may have some common ground. I also look forward to discussions here in the forums, not just about literature but about the big questions it poses.
Welcome, all! But especially my friend Catarina!
Welcome, Ned... Carolina... Bernard! Please join in anytime. :-)

Let us know what you are reading, and if you are inclined help us..."Thanks. What do you mean by helping out with the classic challenge? I read classics (none for the past couple of months, but I sometimes go in phases) as well as contemporary, literary, mainstream, y/a, once in a while scifi, some nonfiction, etc.
Charly wrote: "We have a Lounge wide challenge to see how long it takes us to get members to read and post classics to the thread. We consider anything that is considered a classic by the work or the author that ..."Do you mean classics that we read starting from the time we join this group?
Thanks for the welcome. I live outside of Washington DC but at the beach whenever I can get there. I enjoy all kinds of books but mysteries are my favorites. In addition to reading I enjoy baseball (Go NATS) and my 2 jack russell terriers who keep me very busy.
Welcome, Ann! I'm originally from the DC area, and headed back for a visit to MD/VA next week.Anyway, thanks for joining our team... please feel to jump right in! :)
Hello, Litwit Group. I am a retired English professor and self-published writer (of two memoirs) who has been on goodreads for over a year but just discovered this group. I enjoy discussing literature, so I look forward to reading and posting comments.
Welcome, we're pleased you're here and eager to know you better... do join in!
Welcome, Gail! So very glad you joined us here. :-)
Thank you for the welcome! I am in the process of writing picture books as well as an adult fiction book. My background is in Psychology and contemporary art.
Welcome, Molly! So good to have you join us here. :-)
Hey everyone! It's nice to get such a warm welcome! I look forward to participating in many discussion threads with you. :)
Hello eveyone, such a warm welcome! Nice to meet you all. Looking forward to participating in some discussions with you all. :)
Thanks, I look forward to being part of it.
Hello everyone. I'm a friend of both Werner and Nina. I've been a member of this group for a while but I haven't been active here lately.I just posted a message in this group at the following link:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... - See Message #13.
It's in the "Word Talk & Play" folder and the topic is "Last time...".
Looks like a great group!

Joy and Nina have both been my friends for several years here on Goodreads, and I'm delighted to have them as fellow members of this group! Joy, I don't think I ever actually welcomed you to the group back when you joined, but if not, consider this a warm and hearty welcome. :-)

I was delighted to discover that you're one of the moderators of this group! You are one of the most personable and articulate posters here at Goodreads! It's always a pleasure to read your posts.
Glad to see that Nina is posting here now. She is so well-read and so very friendly too. I never thought I'd have friends from Virginia and Kansas! :)
Werner, I just now noticed that you were born in Minnesota. I thought you were from Iowa. Now I see from your profile page that you went to school there. You also went to school in Indiana and Virginia. In which state have you lived the longest? I've been a New Yorker all my life.
Three of our sons live in NYS but our oldest son lives in Montreal. Two grandkids go to college in NYS but we have a granddaughter who plans to go to the University of Delaware next year.
Welcome, Joy! I'm so glad you joined in. :-)

Poem: "New Every Morning,"
Every morning is a fresh beginning,
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.
~by Susan Coolidge [aka Sarah Chauncey Woolsey]
PS-Reggia, I looked at your blog. It's lovely. I copied and saved some of the quotes there.(I looked for a place to leave a comment, but I couldn't find one. So I've posted my comment here.)
Joy, I was born in Minnesota, but only lived there for the first six months after I was born. My mother was from Iowa, so after my father's sudden death she moved back there. I was raised there, and lived there more or less all the time until I was 25. But Barb and I have lived in Virginia (where she was born and raised) for 27 years altogether, before and after a nine-year sojourn in Indiana; so Virginia is the state I've lived in the longest.
