Welcome to the group as a non-lurker!

Glad to have you officially joining us! You don't have to join in the monthly group read unless you like to, as you know there are plenty of other discussions and books that are not just that :)

How's Petropolis going? Feel free to start a discussion on that if you like ^_^ As a lurker you probably see our inactivity to our active times, so feel free to comment to keep our group going :D You have a cute pic of a cat btw :D

Welcome once again!

Ashley (icecheeseplease) Hello and welcome! We're glad to have you here- please don't be afraid to post on any content that interests you or to start your own topic!

Ashley (icecheeseplease) Everyone seems to be in a different time zone so it's hard to say. There is usually at least a little activity every day or every other day.

Steve (mixmix) Welcome! I liked the mystery of 1Q84 book 1. book 2 dragged, book 3 rushed out an ending.

Like Ashley said, we have many members in different time zones. I don't come on a certain time to check the group. I check it whenever I can and I see my notifications update and catch up with everyone then, whether it's 2 hours or 14 hours since then.

Jennifer | 185 comments I'm a serial goodreader (can I copyright that?), so I check and post at all sorts of times. Cant speak for others...

David Ranney (davidranney) I'm a Goodreading wallflower. Occasionally I descend into a discussion thread and lay down a wall of text. But I'm always reading!

Welcome to the group, Shelvy.

Ashley (icecheeseplease) Since we're kind of on the topic. Is there anything we can do that you all think would make the wallflowers/ lurkers more interested in commenting and participating in the group? As of right now the group has 351 members!! I'd love to somehow get more of those members to join in discussion with us.(I guess that's what we get for starting a reddit community on here haha, all lurkers!!)

Ashley (icecheeseplease) Wow, thank you so much for you input, Shelvy! I'm sure we can take a lot away from this and try to implement it into our discussions.

EDIT: Also Philip puts out a monthly WIRTM (What I'm Reading This Month) that you may be interested in, here's the one for July!
