Better Than Starbucks discussion

I see we are slowly growing, but as I can't see who joined most recently, and as I can't seem to rember who was already here, I can't send you all a personal greeting as you join. But know you are each and everyone both welcome and appreciated! Please, as we do on Shelfari, make this your home base on Goodreads. Add threads, comment on the ones here, add your poetry, your stories, promote your books, appearances, your blogs and whatever else you want to do (of course use the Shameless Self Promotion Topic to do the latter bit)

Wow! A 15% increase in group members in the last 24 hrs !! Of course that is going from 13 to fifteen members:) but still glad to have y'all all aboard!!!

Then there were 17!

Welcome Number 18!!!!

Ok, we are slipping.... Still at 18. First day without a new member

Welcome 19!

well it has taken me a week to figure it out, but now i can see who has most recently joined!

Welcome all 20 of you, of course, but the most of the first 12 or so were part of our existing group from Shelfari, but a special welcome to true newcomers:



Danielle Becker

Alina Kingston

Aidan

A.K. Hoffman

Priya Aggarwal


Please, all of you, new and old, feel free to create topics about books and almost anything else! BTS is a free wheeling literary based intellectual (mostly) on going cocktail party. so wonder about, mix and mingle and talk about whatever comes to mind.

23! Welcome to old friends and new!

And Ann makes 24! Growing again! Now, if only y'all would chat a bit.... Remember, the way BTS works is that all members are welcome to make their own threads, about book, people, places, food, coffee, politics and religion (though let's be gentle on the latter two, but any subject that intelligent people might talk about!

Who is 41??

Well, as the title of this thread implies, it is hard to tell, especially from my iphone, but it turns out it is our old friend and co moderator from Shelfari's original BTS, Susan! Welcome Susan!

After I posted that, I realized the irony of my post as the answer, or lack thereof, was clearly stated as the topic of this thread.
