100 Books Challenge discussion

Here you can introduce yourself. Anyone feel free to make new topics.

Hi, I'm Nicolle, I'm from England and I love to read so much that I very much expect that soemthing bad would happen if I didn't read for a whole day.

Hi Nicolle. I'm Celine, 14 yrs. old from Philippines. Books are my life. I couldn't live without them...

Hey Celine! I seem to see you everywhere :D:D

lol yeah!

Hello everyone, my name is Cia and i am from Australia! I absolutely love reading and i can't wait to see how i do in this reading challenge

Hi Cia! Glad you joined this group :D

Hi Cia!! How are you?

hello, i am very sad at the moment, i have not read for three days which is like a record for me... i have an exam on the cold war very soon! <.>

How sad!! I feel sad for you.

HEY! Keara here! Yeah... that's all...

HI Keara! and welcome :D

Danke.

Umm...Hi Nicolle...DO I know you??? LOL

Hey guys. Have set up my folder, but have a blonde question! How do I use bold and italics on here?
Thanks!

All you have to do is this ...

TEXT

so you do the arrow things before your text and arrow with a slash after the text though rather than the letter 'n' use the letter 'b' for bold and 'i' for italics.

Not sure...though you seem to be following me around on here!

Nicolle I promise that I am NOT stalking you....U just join all the book groups that I am interested in!!!!

Hello, everyone. Thanks for the invitation, Nicolle.

I'm Kathy, and I live on Long Island, NY. I'm a single mom of 2 boys (I should say men, but that makes me feel old! lol) and I am a manager at a local independent bookstore. (Which is very dangerous, believe me!) I'm an avid reader and have been all my life! I look forward to talking books w/ you all! :)

Hey Kathy...welcome aboard!!! I would love to own a used bookstore someday...that would be my dream!!! I can't wait to discuss books either!!

Thanks, Teri-Lynn. Unfortunately, I only work here. That's plenty dangerous enough! lol. :)

Hiya Kathy, glad you joined the group!

Thanks, Nicolle! :)

Hi all. This group seems to have sprung back to life. It is great to see some activity here !

I know it's great!

Hi everyone! I see some familiar faces!:) I am going to start looking at the list, and editing as I go:). And, this will take a while to finish, but I'm up for the challenge!

For those of you I dont know, my name is Jill and I live in Houston, TX. I'm a social worker (currently working the the homeless population) and a photographer. I have a pup named Tilly who is like my kid.:) Happy reading!

Awww didn't know you have a pup! Do you have a pic?

Of course! I'll have to change it to my profile pic. She is a cute little terrier...black with white 'socks'. Sweet girl!:)

Awww! I love dogs!!

Hello Jill...I think I know who you are!! LOL!!! Love that all my friends are here:)

I have a puppy named Buddy, he is a 4 year old Maltese!!

Hey Teri-lynn:). I know, lots of familiar faces! Yay for pups!

Hi everyone!
I live in England. Now retired from teaching and am so enjoying what I want to read. Will try most genres but not too keen on fantasy (although currently listening to The Traveler). Have tweaked my list a bit but looking forward to some different books.

Welcome to the group Sue....I hope that you like it here!!

Hey Sue! Thanks for joining.

Thank you for the invitation Nicolle. When I look back on my life, one of the few successful methods of relaxation that has worked for me is reading. It still works.
I really should set more time aside for it. One hundred books is way out of range but I shall make a realistic list.

Hey. Thanks for the invite, Nicolle. Not sure I want to read aaaaall 100 books (I have zero interest in reading the bible ever) but would be cool to keep track of how many of them I have read.

Thanks for the invite! :D

I'm Monica, from not-so-sunny north of Portugal, I've been a voracious reader for as long as I've known how to read - and before that, I pretended that I already knew how to read and spent whole afternoons turning pages of every book in the house.

So you see, I was born into a love story between me, paper and ink. It will last forever, and I wish you all the same :D

Now to work! I don't think I have read many from the 100 list, but theres alot in there I want to get around to this year - so its perfect.

You can change the list to suit your personal reading taste

Yeah, I think I will do. But nice to keep track if which books from the original list I've managed to read as well.

Welcome everyone. I picked this list out of all the others because of the wide range of books, many of which are easy reads.

Thanks for the invite Nicolle! I'm a total sucker for challenges. I should have been a Girl Scout when I was younger....all the badges. Looking forward to tackling the list! :)

I subscribe entirely xD

Thanks for the invite. I set up a challenge thread. There are many on the list that I want to read so this seems to be the place for me. :-)

I'm an avid reader and love most genres. My husband & I also love to travel in the RV and are looking forward to the time when I retire and we can do that without having to rush back so I can get to work. We camped this past weekend and it rained almost constantly so we both read quite a bit.

Thanks for the invite, Nicolle. I've already read some of the books and I'm anxious to start reading some others.

Thanks for the invite!

I am in the mood to read something dark, Lovecraft...

That sounds awesome *.* I like to plan little getaways also, but I go by train since I'm afraid to drive. I love reading on trains, maybe because of all the happy memories I have of doing so. I'm not so lucky as you to have a husband that likes reading :(

Reading on trains is the best! The lack of internet and distractions are wonderful (as long as you don't end up sat next to noisy/drunk/irritating people anyway). And yay for someone else who's afraid of driving!

My goal is to take a trip somewhere on the train. A couple of summers ago we took all the grandkids to a train museum and road the old train into town, had lunch and rode back to the museum. We all loved it! I think one of the pictures on my profile page is from that day.

Hubby didn't start reading until he retired 7 years ago. Now he reads all the time!! I have to work to find mystery series for him to read, then collect the books for him if we don't already have them.

Hi everyone, thanks for joining.

Hi all
I am Bev from the UK and I am a book worm! Thanks for the invite Nicolle.

Looking at the list - I'll have to settle for Harry Potter.

Just a note to everyone, the official book list is in the topic above this one names 'book challenge'. I notice some of you have probably borrowed off me as many of you have The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks on your list. I actually replaced the bible with this as I didn't fancy reading that. By all means keep this book on your list, or replace it with something of your own, or replace the bible. Just to let a few of you know if you aren't aware.
