message 1: by Katie (new)

Katie Hi everyone,

Since this topic was empty, I decided to start the conversation ;-)

My name is Katie and I'm a college student.
I'm a proud aunt and godmother and have a little dog called Charly.

I love to read. If I were rich I would buy all the good books in the world.
When I'm not reading, I either write or cook.
I also enjoy watching TV series and hanging out with my friends.

Basically, I have a very mundane life.

What about you?

Stacey (staceyissassy) Hello!!

I'm Stacey from Australia and I love my family first and my kindle and coffee equal second. I cut my teeth reading Sweet Dreams romances as a teenager and then moved on to historical romances by Julie Garwood and Jude Deveraux.

I have a blog called Stacey is Sassy. I go through phases on what I post about. Always book reviews, but I have been known to do fashion, family and baking too. At the moment, I'm doing a daily post called I read a book today... I ALWAYS have things flying around in my brain as I'm reading and this is a great way for me to get them off my chest.

I'm happily married to the love of my life with two very sporty boys (who definitely didn't get it from me) who are 14 and nearly 11.

As you might have guessed, I like to ramble. Sorry!!

Thanks so much for the invitation, and I can't wait to get to know you all better and catch up on Meghan, Sara and Amy's stories.

Sara Ney | 46 comments Mod
My name is Sara, and I'm an author. I wish I could like the comments on here, LOL.

I live in the midwest, and have my head in the clouds 99.9% of the time. I love goofing around, and just scared the shit out of my husband by hiding in the closet. He wasn't amused.

I love to travel--we were just in Colorado--and choose the cities where I sign based on what interesting sites I can see with my family.

I've been collecting books since I was young; I went through a huge phase of going to estate sales, so I have really old, rare copies of some amazing books. If my house caught on fire, it would go down in a blaze of glory from all the paper.....


message 4: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 6 comments I'm Tracy and I'm an author. I live in the Midwest like Sara Ney. In fact I live near Sara and want to know WHY HAVEN'T WE MET YET!? I write chick lit / romance / women's fiction / coming of age. Basically whatever the hell I want to write :-)

I hate the cold even though I live where I do. I enjoy exercise and napping. I try to do both every day.

I read everything and anything as well. I love my Kindle, paperbacks, and hardcovers. I'm usually reading a bunch of books at once!

I wish Goodreads gave the ability to like comments too.

I'm with your husband. I'm such a scaredy cat and my boys know to NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER scare Mum. I have a bad habit of bursting into tears whenever I'm shocked badly. Embarrassing but unfortunately a true story. :/

Hey there fellow coffee addict, I'm so with you, except for the kitty. Unfortunately, I'm allergic and I'd blow him away (with my sneezing) before kitty even reached me. Great to meet you. :-)


message 7: by Katherine (new)

Katherine Stevens | 2 comments Hey! I'm Katherine & I pretend to be an author. I live in Texas with my teenager and almost kindergartner. I usually have my shirt on inside out and something in my hair.

I love to travel, but I also love to be at home with no pants. It's about balance.

I've been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. My true love is nonfiction. I'm a huge history nerd. I have to temper that with some lighter reading to stay sane-ish.


message 8: by Heather (new)

Heather C | 12 comments I'm a workaholic that still manages to get in over 200 books per year. I'm loyal to family, friends, work and the book world I discovered a few years back. I'm also a blogger and obsessed with Disney. Since I've from FL, I feel Disney obsession is just natural.

You're so sweet, thank you. You should definitely come and visit Australia. If I don't mind saying so myself, we're a pretty cool bunch of people most of the time. I knew as soon as you mentioned reading and coffee, that we were bound to have similar tastes. I'm heading straight to your bookshelf to see what's caught your eye. ;-)


Jessica *The Lovely Books* (jessybabe) | 3 comments I'm from Dallas and I started my blog, The Lovely Books, back in 2011! It's named after The Lovely Bones. Because even though that book was so sad, it still had a tiny bit of hope...kinda like me. I don't know where I'd be without my books!


message 11: by B.K. (new)

B.K. Harrell (bkharrell) | 7 comments Hi everyone. I'm Bryan or BK to my readers. I live in Atlanta and write The Doctors of Atlanta and novellas for Sapphire Falls Kindle World Series. I am a former Navy doctor and write mostly military, medicine and sports.

I am married and have been for 17 wonderful years and have a 7 y/o.

Besides writing I am a certified tobacconist and you see this with my characters and enjoy golf and reading as hobbies.

If you ever have medical, military or sports questions I am your man.


message 12: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 6 comments How did I forget to mention I'm a coffee addict too?! In fact, so much so I wrote a book called Lipstick & Lattes lol. I love love love love coffee. ❤️☕️ The best thing ever is when someone showers me with coffee :).

Tera | 4 comments I've always been a reader. Now I'm also a blogger. I'm a radiologic technologist for my big girl job and a momma of 3 boys comprised of my 4 year old and 2 year old twins. I'm also married to my high school sweetheart

That is a great title and I will definitely have to check it out. :-)

Coffee is good...coffee is magic...I LOVE COFFEE!! (love is a very strong word, maybe it should be like it, like it, like it A LOT!)

message 17: by Teagan (new)

Teagan Hunter (teaganhunter) | 3 comments I'm Teagan, and I'm an author. My husband is a Marine and we currently live in NC. It's my first time living anywhere other than the Midwest and I LOVE it.

I'm obsessed with pizza, coffee, Supernatural, books, and stalking Sara Ney's Instagram.

I've been reading for as long as I can remember. I devoured every single Fear Street and Christopher Pike book my library had before finally moving on to historical romance, paranormal romance, and I finally settled in the contemporary genre (been stuck here for years now).

I like my romance sassy and snappy with just a smidge of heat. Student/teacher and brother's best friend books are my FAVORITES.

So excited to get to know everyone here!


message 18: by Amy (last edited Aug 11, 2017 07:43AM) (new)

Amy Daws (amydawsauthor) | 4 comments Mod
My name is Amy Daws. I'm a book swirler. The first book that got me hooked on reading romance was Asking For Trouble by Elizabeth Young...which is what the movie The Wedding Date with Debra Messing was based on! I soon fell in LUST with London and all things British and so when I started writing, I decided...wth, I'll have my heroine go to England. Now I'm disappointing readers everywhere when they come to my table at a signing and realize I'm not British...or cool. :D But my fake British accent is on POINT!

Oh and I freaking LOVE Gilmore Girls. I named my daughter Lorelei. :)


message 19: by Megan (new)

Megan Green | 5 comments I'm Megan Green. I'm a lifelong reader and recently turned author. I just had the pleasure of meeting Sara, Meghan, and Amy in Denver last weekend and it was pretty much the best thing ever. I'm a hardcore fangirl and love to stalk...er, follow all my favs on IG and FB. I live in Utah with my hubby and crazy pup.


message 20: by Brandi (new)

Brandi (brandizelenka) | 2 comments Hey! Brandi here. I'm a southern girl--born and raised in TN. I have three kiddos and three dogs. I married my husband last year in Vegas--the day after the Love N Vegas signing! I love coffee, wine, and books.

I work part time in retail--selling clothes I would NEVER pay regular price for! lol! And I have a blog--which is my real love, but sadly doesn't pay the bills.

I think that's it. Nice to meet everyone!


message 21: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Florence | 4 comments HI! Jessica Florence in the house. Author, Potterhead, and a movie geek extraordinaire.

I own/run my own business in southwest Florida, married to a pain in the ass for five years, and mommy to an almost threenager.
Meghan and I became friends when I just messaged her and told her that we were now friends. She's humored me ever since ;)

I used to read about a book a day, but I think I've only read maybe 20 books this whole year so far. Maybe not even that number. But that just give me more time to write! Right? lol
<3


message 22: by Elaina (new)

Elaina (eboudreaux5) | 2 comments Hi everyone! My name is Elaina and I live in South Louisiana with my hubby of 14 years and two kids. I am a Human Resources Specialist for a local school district and have recently become addicted to coffee and Coca-Cola since starting our software conversion. I figured since we can't drink alcohol at work, caffeine will just have to do.

Most of the time you can find me at the soccer fields with one or both of my kiddos. Their dad brainwashed them in the womb to love the game and so now we have one on a travel team and the other on a recreation only because he's not old enough to travel yet. Thankfully I have passed on some of my love for the game of hockey recently.

I was a late bloomer when it comes to my love of reading, but now you will not catch me without my kindle. And being the multitasker that I am, I use the text-to-speech option on my kindle to listen to books while I do other things like work (when it doesn't require much brain power), housework, cross stitch, build a puzzle, etc.


message 23: by A Romance Reader (new)

A Romance Reader (aromancereader) Hey guys! I am Anne from Ecuador :) I work as a Community Manager and love it! I am single and have no children, but do have 2 nieces and a nephew that I adore.

I started reading romance when I was 22 and was in Argentina studying. Since then I've been a Romance addict lol I also read fantasy and Historial Fiction. I am thinking of starting a blog again. I had one back in 2013 but had to close it :(

My dream is to one day visit Scotland and England.

Jos (jap68) | 2 comments Hi there! I am Joselyn and a total book nerd and proud! I have been reading for years and years, ever since my teens and although I spent a lot of years reading historical my sis about 5 years finally got me to move out of that genre and into all the NA, Contemporary, etc.....and I have been devouring anything and everything I can get my hands on. I am married for 26 years, have 2 boys and 2 labs! We own a funeral home and although I have been an at home mom for the past 7 years, I have just started working full time again and so my reading time has been very sparse unfortunately but hoping to get back into the swing of things. Looking forward to comparing and talking books:) PS MY Kindle has been my best gift ever, I tell my husband the hell with jewelry and other luxuries just make sure I always have a KINDLE LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!


message 26: by Claire (new)

Claire Kingsley (clairekingsley) Hello fellow coffee addicts! I mean... book addicts. (Seriously though, coffee and books? You're my people.)

I'm an accidental romance author and lifelong book lover. When I'm reading romance, I love contemporary or NA. The swoonier, the better.

Married, three kids. I live in the Seattle area. Coffee addict. A little nerdy. Usually a hot mess.

Nadia (nadz158) | 4 comments Hi y'all! I'm Nadia from Denmark :)

I'm 25, university student and dreaming about the day I can get myself that Husky puppy I've always dreamed of.

I started reading books when I was 12-13 and then it morphed from YA into romance as I grew older. I was I knew about Goodreads, there are so many books I want to reread from "back then" but I cannot remember the title or author just random scenes. Ugh >.<

I love to travel and food is my obsession.
