yep! the night 'n day challenge starts then!

Hi there! Thanks for the invite, Emily.

I've been in love with reading since before I can remember. As I progressed to senior levels of high school I got into more and more of a reading slump as I was overwhelmed with work and had increasingly little time available to read. Now that I graduated and am taking a gap year, I'm hoping to get back into it in the way I always was.

My favorite genres include sci-fi, YA, thrillers, and only very specific (and subtle) types of romance. I look forward to meeting more people on here :)

Of course! Glad you are taking care and welcome!

Hi! I'm Emejota :) I love reading but I've always struggled with finding time to read (instead of procrastinating). Challenges motivate me so I hope they'll help me read more consistently in 2023.

hello and welcome!! I'm on your team haha!

Hi, Im Rosie. I have been in a major reading slump so I am hoping reading challenges will motivate me!

Hi Everyone! I'm Morgan and I like to Fantasy and Comics. :D

Hii everyone! I’m Milica and happy to be here!! I have to say that I’ve been in reading slump WHOLE YEAR actually and I really wanna fix that and this group sounds really fun so hopefully I’ll get back at my old habits!! ☺️So excited to get started

Hi! I'm Raynah. I've always loved reading and I'm excited to be joining this group. My favourite genre is fantasy and I'm always willing to try out books I wouldn't normally pick up. :)

Hi! I'm May. My favourite genre is fantasy, but I also enjoy mystery novels and thrillers.

I joined this group because with university, I noticed I lost the motivation to read lol. I'm hoping 2023 will be a better reading year for me!

Hi, I'm Olivia. I'm a big reader but last year I went through a huge reading slump. I've recovered about 2 weeks ago and am super excited to return to bookish things! I love fantasy, mystery and romance books. Thanks for the invite to join ❤️

Hey I’m Megan

Just wanted to join some groups to find some more books so thanks for accepting me 😊

I love to read I only just started back reading towards the end of this year end of September and I made a small challenge of 12 books and have managed 15 (currently on 16). I work 12hr shifts so I only read on my days off or sometimes on my nightshifts. I also listen to audiobooks while I walk to and from work as it’s 50mins there and back.

Some more about me:
I’m 30, married, from the uk and have a dog

welcome to Rosie and Morgan!

welcome everyone!

Hi everyone! I’m Daisie.

After slacking on my reading goal this year I’ve been thinking of some personal challenges and inspiration, so this group popped up at the perfect time!

I’m 18, a politics/ psychology student, from Scotland and currently working towards completing my “penguin English library” book collection🤞🏼🤞🏼Plus my book taste is all over the place.

Hi!!

I'm Vic. I had TOO many reading slumps this year so wasn't able to reach as high of a goal as I intended to at the start of this year so I'm super excited to start trying to achieve a higher goal next year so this group is perfect.

I'm 21, currently in my second year at uni of exeter studying BA english lit and film studies. Fave genres are romance, thriller and sometimes classics.

I love talking my friends ears off about the book im reading so if anyone wants a bookish friend to rant to about their book my messages are always open.

hey, welcome welcome! glad to have you!

Good luck everyone for this new year !

Hey! I'm Emma, and I'm admittedly an avid book reader. Some may say I prioritize it over other responsibilities like sleeping or doing laundry. I also am a 2nd year nursing student BScN. I do love the idea of a reading group and hopefully exploring more books to read in 2023!

welcome emma!
