martin eden Hi there! I'm an English teacher in France. I teach in a high school specialised in applied arts, design and architecture. That's really fun. I'm a mother of two amazing daughters and wife of an awesome husband!

CL (cljones) | 2 comments Hello all. I am from Illinois and I am a reading addict. I cannot go a day without reading. I find that I need to read to keep myself sane. It's my down time to regenerate from life. I also like to spend alot of time alone doing my own thing and reading fits that perfectly. Happy Reading!! I look forward to getting to know all of you!! Candy

Graeme Rodaughan Thanks Aaron for the invite.

Hi all, I'm Graeme, I write an urban fantasy/techno-thriller mashup series, and I love to read fantasy, sci-fi, and some horror.

Looking forward to sharing some time here.


message 4: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan I'm not a big reader of horror.

More into fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, suspense. I do read horror, but typically where the horror is not the main theme.

I've always loved reading and it's my favorite way to relax.

message 8: by Susan Jo (new)

Susan Jo Grassi (susanjo) Hi everyone! My name is Susan. I'm a retired banker and widow who just moved to Houston, TX to be near my son, but not too near. I love reading, in particular mysteries, history, bios and especially paranormal or supernatural, as long as it doesn't get stupid since I'm a certified paranormal investigator and researcher. I am, however, not a fan of romance novels. I enjoy crafts, walking and traveling. My down fall are the words sale, clearance, free and bargain. Other than that, I'm just a normal senior citizen who tries to stay healthy and am grateful for each day.

Aaron, thank you so much for the invite.

Being a paranormal investigator sound very interesting. Maybe sometime you could share some of your most memorable experiences with us :)

Usually, it's pretty boring but fun. I would be glad to share.

Karin (hippolicious) Hello everyone!

I'm Karin, 34 years old and I live in Belgium with my husband, two bunnies (Merry and Pippin) and two guinea pigs (Sam and Rosie). By day I am a writer and by night I am a reader. Or vice versa. ;)
I love reading classics and crime novels, but my first love is fantasy. Also I'm openminded so I'll try about any genre.
Thank you for the invite, Aaron!

message 14: by iasa (new)

iasa Hi everyone. I'm Iasa. I read almost any genre of book, but I am not especially fond of YA. Other than reading, I spend a lot of time hiking and fishing and tending the kitchen garden. We have a house full of wee beasties, of both the 4 and 2 legged variety.

Anis | 1 comments Hello, I am from Canada and I love to read books in French, especially children's books. Recently I have been able to finish some children's novels :-)

I also like to read French fashion magazines or sewing books in French if I can find them.

Welcome Anis! Wow French... I had French class at high school, but I can't read it anymore. I should pick it up, because last year I moved to Belgium and it is one of the official languages here.
I hope you will enjoy your time in our little group! :-)

message 21: by HeyLucindaO! (new)

HeyLucindaO! (heylucinda) | 66 comments Hi everyone! I am Maya, I am a thirty something, child-free, professional living in New Zealand with my fabulous partner of nearly 9 years.

I fell in love with reading when I stumbled upon Roald Dahl's 'Danny the Champion of the World' at the age of 11. I now find myself reading biographies, memoirs, self-help and spiritual books of authors often featured on Oprah's 'Super Soul Sunday' program and Tedtalks.

I love doing Yoga, Pilates, Zumba and meditating, spending time in nature and being creative. I also enjoy being a foodie and always have a new idea for dinner etc

My reading interests include psychology, sociology, research and spirituality.

Thank you Martin for inviting me to the group. I have enjoyed our buddy read and look forward to more!
