Devon (booksandbeyond28) Hi, my name is Devon and I'm 21 years old. I enjoy reading many genes of books but my favorite would have to dystopian and paranormal romance. I am currently doing the A-Z book challenge and a dystopian challenge. I am also doing themedreads each month. This month is top rated YA and July if books i havent finished.

Hi everyone! Welcome! Shelley here! Like Kathryn, I read YA and Adult PNR, UF and also some historical and realistic fiction. Talk about eclectic...well, Kathryn may say I'm more eccentric, but my tastes vary and I'm always looking for something new and exciting.
I'm single, with a furry roommate and love to spend my downtime reading, watching movies, crime dramas and anime, listening to music and enjoying the great outdoors.
Really looking forward to getting to know everyone and hoping this group can inspire you to join in on the fun and discover our faves and new finds...and maybe learning a few things along the way.


message 9: by Anna (new)

Anna (amartinischwob) | 31 comments Hey everyone, my name is Anna...I'm a total book freak, much to the dismay of my friends and family. Most people get excited when a new movie trailer gets released, I freak out if a book cover is revealed or a book trailer comes out! My purse is always too heavy because I insist on carrying a book (or Nook!) with me at all times. I just recently graduated from college and I'm pretty sure my college roommate is breathing a sigh of relief because she no longer has to worry about my books taking over our room. Anyway, I LOVE to read a lot of different genres but I typically stick with PNR and YA contemporary and dystopian, but you shouldn't be surprised if you catch me reading biographies, politics or even sci-fi, it all depends on how I'm feeling that week (weird I know!). Anyway....very excited joining this group!

Hi Anna and Annie...and Debra! Great to see you girls here! Anna, if I had a roommate, they would feel the same way. Luckily the cat enjoys the books too. ;)

Me, three! Sometimes I have 2 or 3 books with me :) My purse was supposed to be for carrying laptops, but mine was scratched the one time I tried, so just books for me in there :)

jodie louise (jodieelouisereads) | 4 comments Heyy, I'm Jodie i'm 20 and a book lover. I mainly read PNR YA or UF but i do read other genres too. Like everyone else my room is stacked full off books and every spare space in our house! I'm never without my kindle ipod or a book so i can read every spare minute i get! My dream would to be to own my own little bookstore! :)

Andie K. (andie88) | 56 comments Mod
Hey everyone!

I'm Andie and a VIP member (I wish!) ;) I'm 20 and I live in Hungary. I love PNR, UF, sci-fi and dystopian books. I read mostly adult books, because I hate YA (there's a few exception, such as Richelle Mead, Cassandra Clare, Andrea Cremer...). I'm also a blogger and a crazy photoshopper and right now I'm learning how to build a website (php & html).

Damn I want my own bookstore too, I wouldn't even go out then...


message 23: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (iluvkimi220) Hello =)
I'm Lisa and I live in South Wales, UK. I'm 21 and I'm on my 120th book this year. My best friend is my kindle lol though I love my physical books too =) I will read just about anything but I love and prefer anything YA. My fave author is Richelle Mead


message 24: by Lorre (new)

Lorre Hey,
I'm Lorre and live in Belgium. I'm turning 40 later this year (yaykes!!!).
Although I always read books (horror genre), I was a-book-a-month kinda girl. That's till I discovered PNR last year... It was like a world opening up to me. I always liked reading horror books, but I looooove PNR. I really wish I'd discovered the genre earlier.
My reading challenge for this year is 100 books and I'm 2 books ahead!
Oh, and in August last year I bought a Kindle and love it. I love it so much I don't even want to read paper books anymore!


message 25: by schu (new)

schu Hi Im Nicole, 16 years old, 1st year College student. I read anything. My fav books right now is The NIght Circus and The Host.

message 27: by Laura (new)

Laura Holland (lockets) | 31 comments Hey everyone!!! I'm Laura and a complete book freak lol!!! I read different genres but at the moment i have mainly been concentrating on PNR, historical romance, and YA.
I have so many books to read but my 3 year old and 1 year old have different ideas lol!!!
Can't wait to talk to you guys, be good to speak to people with the same love of books as me :)


message 28: by Lindsey (new)

message 30: by **Nicole (new)

**Nicole (nicolep6) | 6 comments Hey everyone, I'm Nicole... I mostly work from home so when I'm not out with clients I'm playing hookie and reading instead of working...oops, oh well. I read a lot of romance...historical, YA, drama, erotica, paranormal ...whatever..as long as its good I'm there. My husband says I'm a complete witch if I don't read at least for 2 hours a night...who knew?? Reading is literally my crack. I don't care how much I spend downloading books every month as long as I get to read what I want. (It's still cheaper than shoes) ANyway, always glad to chat with others who have the same love for books that I do.

Wow! How exciting to meet some new folks and see familiar friends in a new meeting place! Hi all and welcome! *waves at Erin*
Erin is one of my book signing/music loving friends...of course we have lots to talk about. ;) I love her city too-it's where all the big events take place. That's not the only reason to love it. It's beautiful and lively. I live about an hour away.
Andie, your are a VIP, girlfriend!
Lorre, I'm still new to the Adult PNR and Urban fantasy, also in the last year or so. Nice to have another newbie with me.
Several members in this group have given me great recommendations over the past couple of years- and I love chatting and sharing my faves too.
Nicole, welcome. As the youngest of our group, you can bring a fresh point of view to the YA we read...and we read A LOT of it. Can't wait to share.
So great to meet you all! Enjoy getting to know one another. We'll be in and out to answer questions, play some games, spark your interest, listen to your suggestions and...chat!


message 39: by Lorre (new)

Lorre Shelley, I feel like I have so much series to catch up to as a newbie in this genre. My to-read list on here is 1300-something and it keeps growing. At my 100 books a year I already have reading material till I'm 53!
I just love Goodreads, it's just a great way to discover more series through friends who add them.
I could use some more friends on here, active friends who like me show their current read every time, have status updates and review most or all books. I mostly read adult PNR but I do try to get a YA series in there once in a while.


message 40: by Bella (new)

Bella Street (bellastreet) | 2 comments I'm a reader and a writer. I love the classics and YA--paranormal, gothic, a little sci-fi...and romance with everything :)

Glad to be here. Thanks for the invite, Shelley!

I feel your pain. Lol. I have more on my to-read list than read and I'm sure that will never change. There's something to add every day. We'll just have to do the best we can and know our job is never done. ;)
I'm not as active as I should be on goodreads, but I'm hoping with this group that will change. Keep me on my toes, folks! Goodreads opened a whole world of, not only books to me, but a network that just gets better and more exciting. I've made great friends and made so many discoveries here. I LOVE IT!
