message 2: by Carrie (last edited Aug 30, 2012 03:45AM) (new)

Carrie (carrieaj) Hello everyone I'm Carrie. I live in Pennsylvania. My favorite genre is currently PNR. It does change from time to time. I do read a little of everything well maybe a lot everything. I love getting suggestions. I'm a SAHM (Stay at home mom) of 2 wonderful kids. I am married to a wonderful man (even though he doesn't read) for 9 years. I belong to 3 libraries to keep within my spending limits. Thanks for letting me join your group. P.S. I think I joined this group last night when I was half sleeping. So I apologize for any thing I might have said in the question to join the group. Lol I remember looking at the group home page and thinking I would try to join in the morning. When I got up this morning I was already a member. Anywho can't wait to meet everyone.

message 12: by Nikks (new)

Nikks Hi, Its great to be here - thanks for accepting my application ;-D
My name is Nikki, I am english, but emmigrated to Canada in 2007 with my hubby and three young children. I am a SAHM, but my youngest starts kindie tomorrow, which will free up lots of time for reading.
I have very eclectic reading tastes and will give anything a go. My favourite author at the moment is David Ebershoff. I really enjoy reading books on Canadian history.
I am active in another Good Reads group and just started an A-Z challenge.
I am an avid reader and a member of two book clubs.
Looking forward to chatting on here and meeting some new people :-)

Carrie (carrieaj) Hi Claudietta


message 23: by Betty T (new)

Betty T (betty_t) Hello everyone, my name is Bette. I'm not new to GR you could say I've been hanging around in the background poking around here and there. I have a way long list of books I've wanted to read. I started the list when I was in grad school to help me remember I will have a life again after graduation. That said, I really wanted to find groups I can be a part of to talk about books, discover new ones and introduce the group to my books. I have friends in a book club but i have not been going to the meetings, do i thought online groups would be a good idea. have eclectic tastes so i dont really have a favorite author but I totally geek out on the Star Wars books. I do a lot of volunteer work but I really want to recapture my love of reading for enjoyment. I'm an empty nester living in NC with my 2 cats/roommates, Lolz. I would love it if you would accept me in the group.

Cheers everyone!

Hi all new members!!!

Welcome to the group!


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey all...I am Teri-Lynn...I am 33 (as of tomorrow) and I love reading....I have been a bookaholic since I was 7 reading the Babysitters club books!!!

I love most Genres but I still can't get into Sci-Fi!!! Sorry to all those who like those...maybe I just need to read the right one!!!

Favorite Authors are as follows.....Marian Keyes, Nicolas Sparks, Danielle Steele.

I would name my favorite books but that would take up too much time...I have no idea how many I have, but to name a few would be: Where the red fern grows, Anna Karenina, Gone with the wind....

I am married to my best friend for 10 years...we have 2 amazing kids....most of the time...lol!!!

We live in Canada and I think that just about sums me up!!!

Hi Teri-Lynn,

Welcome to the group!!!
I hope you like it here and are able to find something you can take part in.

I fell the same as you do about sci-fi novels. I've tried to get into a couple and just can't.

Hope you have a good day, and Happy Early Birthday!


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks Heather for the Birthday wish!!!

I love this website...I used to spend more time here then facebook...then we lost the internet!!! Now I have spent time trying to play catch up on here and I kind of gave up because it was hard when so many things get ahead of you.....but we can bring this book group back to what it was!! This was the first group I joined when I came to this site and I am going to make sure it get's back to what it used to be!!!!
