A place where we can have general conversation with one another...

Hello everyone, happy new year! :-)

Happy New Year, Ramla, and everyone! :D

Thanks Chris :-)

Ditto that! :)

I took a goodreads break for a couple of weeks and I'm just getting into the swing again.

Hi Abigail, hope you enjoyed your break, it's good to have you back and I am looking forward to catching up with you :-)

Hey! How's everyone doing?

Good Morning!

Hi, hope everyone is doing great :-) All is well at my end ...though the weather in Frankfurt has been extremely cold this past week.

Anyway, just felt like sharing that it's my birthday today :-)

Happy Birthday Ramla! I hope it is a fun day for you. :D

Yay! Happy birthday!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone, I didn't really celebrate but we went out in the evening and I managed to have a great time with family and friends :-)

A happy belated birthady!

Glad you had a fun time, Ramla. :]

I'm the same way. It's not like I did anything except be born, you know?

Lolz :-) That's definitely an interesting perspective! :-)

Anyway, I guess that if I were to celebrate my birthday then it would be because I am grateful and happy for being created, for given an opportunity to live in this world, for all that I have been blessed with and for all the positive things that I have done and achieved so far ...though I do feel that being grateful and happy for such things shouldn't be reserved merely for birthdays! :-)

Happy New Year, everyone! :-)

Hi everyone,
Have you read any of the recent RITA nominated books?

Melt for You CR
A Wicked Kind of Husband HR
I read & liked both of these nominated books.

Congratulations on your first book, Ramla.

Thanks again :-)

Hi everyone--

do you like a romance anti-hero? If yes, why?

I know that it is the second month of the year. No one has said it yet: Happy New Year to all. I hope that 2025 has been good so far.

Happy New Year to you too. I hope 2025 brings you much happiness and great reads.

Thanks Tammie and Pam :-)

Happy New Year to everyone :-)

Happy New Year to you too. I hop..."

Thanks, PamG!

Thank you too, Ramla.

How is everyone doing on their challenges? I'm having more success with some than others. My ARC and other commitments limit some of my ability to close the challenges faster.

For example, I don't have any upcoming books that start with a P or an L for my second Read Your Name Challenge. I have several books on my kindle that would work, but can't get to them.

I love the Clean Up Your TBR Shelf Challenge. I hope to get a lot of these done. The Book Train challenges and the Read a Shape challenges are innovative.

Thanks for keeping things interesting and interactive, Ramla! I think I signed up for everything. LOL.

PamG wrote: "How is everyone doing on their challenges? I'm having more success with some than others."

It's the same for me. There are a few I might not be able to complete, though it's fun to try :-)

My favourite is the Series Challenge. I wish to get caught up on a lot of series over the next few years, and I'm hoping this challenge will help me with that.

Other favourites are Read a Shape, Make It Bigger, and Clean Up Your TBR Shelf.

The hardest ones for me are the Genre Challenge and the Book Train Challenge (Author). I might also get stuck with A to Z and A Book a Month Keeps the Doldrums Away. Let's see :-)

You're welcome, Pam! Thank you for appreciating my efforts and for participating in the challenges. I'm glad you're enjoying them :-)

PamG wrote: "I think I signed up for everything."

Same here. Lol. Plus I'm doing some in other groups too.

Also, Pam, thank you for initiating this discussion. It gave me an idea for a new thread where everyone can chat about their Reading Challenges :-)
