Romance, Historical or Otherwise discussion

This is the place to pop in and say hi if you're new to the group. No pressure, this is optional, but we would like to be able to welcome you into our crazy little corner of GR.

Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hi, my name is Jacqueline Seewald. I'm a former teacher and librarian. I now write fulltime. I'm also an active reader. My last romance novel is
TEA LEAVES AND TAROT CARDS. Jayne Anne Krentz endorsed this paranormal sensual romance set in the Regency era.

I just finished reading a reissue by Diana Palmer entitled MAGNOLIA and enjoyed the unusual 1900 Atlanta, Georgia setting.

Welcome Jacqueline. Glad to have you with us.

Hey Jacqueline!!

Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for joining the group.

Welcome Jacqueline, Happy you found us :)

Thanks for the friendly welcome!

Hi all! I'm Stacy and I love to read just about anything fiction wise. Mostly I read Romance, Erotica, YA fictin, PNR, and Suspense.

Currently I'm reading The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgerton series #2) by Julia Quinn. I've also been attempting to read Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander series #2) by Dianna Gibaldon for the past month or so, but I'm having trouble getting into it.

Welcome Stacy. We have a pretty varied group of readers, so there's often a pretty good chance you'll find someone who might be ready and willing to talk about what you're currently reading.

Hi, Stacy,

I've also read a number of novels by Julia Quinn.
I both read and write Regency romance. The Outlander series is really great.

set in Regency era

Hey Stacy!! Glad you found us :) I loved the Bridgerton series and the Outlander series is my favorite. Dragonfly in Amber was a little hard for me to understand all the French court dynamics. So I just read... that's my advice to you...keep reading. It's a wonderful series.

Hi! I'm Codie, and I love Historical Romance!!!!

Welcome Jill and Codie!! Can't wait to hear what you ladies are reading.

Hi Codie and Jill! I'm excited to see some new faces. We are big chatters over here, and it's always fun to have new voices to add to the mix.

Welcome to our absolutely awesome group! The more the merrier.

Hi, I'm Karen. I'm a 36 y.o. nurse with two kids. It's hard to find time to read, but it's my passion. I love all kinds of books, but lately loving novels with a historical story line. Most recently, I've read Fall of Giant by Ken Follet and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Loved them both! Just want to join a group to get book suggestions.

Welcome Karen! There are tons of books suggestions here.

Hey Ladies!!

WELCOME EVERYONE~ (another country heard from I know~ Seems I am M.I.A. more often than not these days).

I'm Rebecca from Central NY - mom of 1, teacher of 103 8th graders this year. Treasure my breakfast as it is often my only time to read a few pages in piece and I'll read just about anything (although my hubby says my main characters are almost always women - a fact I'd never noticed).

Welcome Rebecca! Wow 103 8th graders ~ you are amazing... Glad you found us.

Hey Rebecca and power to you!!

Hi! I am new to this group and to goodreads. I simply love to read clean romances! In fact, I have a blog with all my reviews too! http://cleanromancereviews.blogspot.com

Hello,
I am Shannon and I live in Southern Indiana. I love Historical fiction with my favorite author being Sharon Kay Penman. I do like a lot of YA books. My favorite YA is The Hunger Games trilogy and The mortal Instruments along w/ Shannon Hale. I really have enjoyed Francine Rivers The Mark of the Lion series which takes place in Rome 62 A.D. I am always reading but find I never have anyone to talk about the books I read with. Hope to engage in some good talks with you all.

Welcome Shannon. You are in the right place, we love to talk about books here. I'll have to look into the Francine Rivers Series. After reading i've been so interested in Rome.

Hi, I'm Natali from Montreal. And I mostly read YA's. A lot. I'd say I probably read three books a week.

It would be interesting to discuss books with someone other than my hubby since he usually just nods.

Haha, that sounds just like my husband!

Welcome to the gropu Natalid. We're happy to have you. :)

Mine to... But mine does retain the informations because he was telling me something about Jamie and Claire (outlander) the other day lol!!

Welcome to the 'Madness' Natalie D. Can't wait to talk books with you :)

Welcome Rebecca, Englishrose, Shannon and Natali.

I totally get the nodding hubby thing. Mine does the same thing if I try to talk to him about books.

Hi Everyone!

New here and wanted to say hello :)

Hey Rhiannon! *Huge Welcome*

Yay, so excited to see the newer members! Welcome to the group!

Hello :)I'm Eirian from California; I would practically read anything I can get my hands on ^.^ Because I've probably read half the stories on fictionpress xD Yeah yeah, I'm still in school *rolls eyes*

I love historical fiction, stores that I can't predict, and stories that really allows you to understand the characters.

P.S Intelligent stories are awesome x3

Hi, I'm Mandi. :o) Since getting my kindle, I can't quit reading. I love books that are witty and funny but with a good story as well. Something that keeps you guessing. Any suggestions?

Welcome Eirian and Mandi!!! Hope you find what you are looking for here... We do love books :)

Eirian - I'm from N. Cali :)

@Mandi Hello :)

@Leea Me too ^>^ Bay Area :]

Welcome Eirian and Mandi. I'm a bay area native myself. :) I grew up in San Pablo, then moved to Vacaville as a teen before moving out of state in my 20's.

Mandi,

I haven't read many "humor" genre type books, but the Night Huntress and Mortal Instruments series have a lot of great one liners in them if you don't mind paranormals. I also hear the Jane Jameson books are funny, but I haven't read them.

If you like historicals, Lisa Kleypas writes some characters that are very amusing and are good for a smile. Her Hathaways series was constantly putting a smile on my face.

Hi everyone!

Just found this group. I'm an author who writes romantic comedies and chicklit mysteries

Happy Romance Reading to all!

:)

Hi Everyone! We're so glad to have you join us!

This is super exciting~ Welocme to all the Newbies~ So cool to have ya here. :) :) :)

Hello Everyone!! Just joined...looking forward to getting to know you all!! :)

Welcome Elke. :)

We are one smiley-facing group, aren't we?

hahahahahahah

Welcome Elke!! :):):):):):):) come on I just had to do it :)

:O)!!

Hi! I *love* to read, and I'll read just about anything. I've always loved romance novels, and I prefer historicals to contemporary, although I won't turn one of those down, either. LOL
My fave authors are Nora Roberts (and J.D. Robb), Diana Gabaldon, Marie Ferrarella, Julia London, just to name a few...
I read 4-7 books a week, fiction and non-fiction. I'm loving GR and I just wish I had had it years ago so I could keep up with all the books I've read and forgotten about. :-) (Of course, I had to throw a smiley face in there. LOL)
I'm always looking for GR friends, so if my more outrageous reading choices won't offend you, you're welcome to send me a friend request. :-)

Welcome to the group Amanda!

Welcome to the madness - looks like you will fit right in ;)

Glad to have you!

Hello and welcome all ! Hope you'll be as happy to have joined as I am =oD .
