Constant Reader discussion

Thank you Sherry, I am definitely going to give it a try...

Hello,
Name is Michael residing in Albuquerque NM, I am a tech guy who loves to read..(as if that is unique =P) I Have Done Tech support for Apple and Now working for HP.
When it comes to books I am all over the place. My favorite books would be A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, American Gods, Love in the Time of Cholera, So Far from God.

I Joined as the books you are reading this and next moth are on my to read list and I noticed on your Schedule for July 2013 -- December 2013, I have read 3 of the books this year, so I will have time to come up with something witty to post. (yeah that going to backfire.) I can not wait to chat with many of you.

Hello, I'm Vanissa. I had developed a habit of making my own review every time I finish reading a book. I happened to see this site where I can actually post my insights about a book.
It's just nice reading others thoughts about a novel and see that they coincide with my own. :)

Welcome to Constant Reader, Michael and Vanissa.

Hi! I am certainly what I would call a "constant reader" so it seemed the perfect group to join. :-)
I am in Nashville TN. My main genre is Classics, Literary Fiction and the occasional Thriller plus Stephen King who gets his own genre in my opinion and I read everything he writes. It's an obsession that began when I was 13 and persists even to his son's books now. :-)

Hi, Catherine. We have another long-time Constant Reader named Catherine who lives in Nashville. She hasn't been around in a while. We had our meeting one year in Nashville. Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome!
How funny. Wonder if we have met in the library or bookstore? Lord knows I frequent them enough :-) Would love to do a meting here again. How does that get picked anyway? Just curious.

Hi. I'm a writer who has been on Goodreads for a few months. I learned about Constant Reader because somebody who had reviewed one of my books started a discussion thread here on one of my other books, and, when my publisher brought it to my attention, I figured I should probably watch it to see what people were saying. (So far, nothing. But, we all live in hope...)

As it happens, I do have something I plan on promoting (in the appropriate place) when I am finished with this brief note. However, even I don't like people who use social networks only for self-promotion, so I will try to contribute more as I find discussions that interest me.

Hello,
My name is Nina. I am an author,and I love to read,write,and be creative in my own little ways. I recently joined goodreads to find some good reads,share my published books,get some reviews,and just have a fun time. My recently published book is called Little Effie's Book Of Poetry. Authentically written in poetic form,Little Effie's Book Of Poetry tells of a young, little girl named Effie through her mother's point of view. Each poem tells of little Effie and her family,and of course her royal cat Miss Whiskers. http://www.amazon.com/Little-Effies-B...
Happy goodreading everybody! c:

Welcome, Nina, but please put your promotional material in the Promotions folder.

And welcome to you, too, Ira.

Got no TV and the book shelf is stuffed, thought to share all the willy words and created a book (finally).
If the idea comes from a tube; instead of a page; it is only the owners idea.

Hi!!! My name is Violet and I come from Greece!!

Welcome, Erik and Violet.

Welcome!

Welcome to Constant Reader, Shanice. I don't think we've ever had someone from Malta before (that I know of, that is).

I have read The Maltese Falcon which I don't think has anything to do with Malta!

Hello, I'm Margaret.
I live in Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, with my husband Ron and our two year old Maltese named Chicki.
Within a week I'm hoping to publish my eighth title, my first novella. It's exciting to break new ground.
Most of my other titles are romance anthologies. Encore was released in 2013. A previous release, A Taste of Life and Love in Australia, is part of a series, and it's had many, especially favourable reviews.
My favourite writers are James Herriot and Jane Austen.
I'm looking forward to getting to know the members of this group.

Welcome, Margaret. Since you are new, I want to let you know about our policy regarding promotional items. Information about your novella or any of your other titles should be posted in the Promotions folder, and not be included in other discussion threads.

That said, I hope you will enjoy our discussions and participate in those that interest you!

Thank you, I'll do that! :)

Hi! I'm Ben! I like reading, writing, drawing, and music. though i am not an author, i would like to be.

Welcome, Ben.

Hi I'm Violet. I am currently going into my sophomore year of college for elementary education. I love reading, to a fault (: I am currently a nanny for two older kids who have not had alot of reading motivation before I got there, so that has been an adventure. I have a cat named Mason, who loves to hear me read out loud to him. My favorite author is probably Lillian Jackson Braun, and my favorite book(s) are all the cat who's, fever 1793, and no fear Shakespeare. I am so excited to be apart of the group. I have been looking for a convenient book club for ages, and I am so thrilled that I have finally found one (: I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. Thanks for letting me become a part of the group!

Welcome, Violet. You had me at having a cat. :-). I have two, Finch and her brother, Joad.

These are deeply silly on some levels, but you might like a series of books by Clea Simon--the Theda Krakow mysteries. Rock and roll and wonderful stuff on cats (who, by the way, do not solve the mysteries--that would be ridiculous!) and really pretty smart.

Welcome, Violet. I admire you for getting the children to read more. I hope you take part in our discussions.

Cat lady here also, Violet. Our guy's name is Jackson.

Sara those books sound interesting. Here is a cute book for the human's in your cats life. The Cat Manual

I think I recommended that to a friend Carol.

Hi everyone I'm Elaine from Upstate N.Y. and I think I joined last yr. Love reading , sing in choir .so am a lover of music and get alot out this computer including your site.

Welcome, Elaine. Glad to have you here.

Ah, yes, I've checked that one out when you've mentioned it. Not to worry: I have a full sheaf of instructions from the current residents, plus all the past write-ups they inherited.

Most important? Frequent meals, of course.

Thanks Sara I'll be sure to check those out (:

:-) :-) :-)

Carol, does the cat manual have an author that I can look up with the title?

Thanks (: much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm Kristie from Sydney, Australia. I am a mum of two daughters and have recently returned to reading (constantly (!), well, as much as possible) now my children are at school. I look forward to contributing and learning from the members here. Thank you for allowing me to become a member of this lovely group.

Welcome Violet and Kristie. There's a lot to enjoy here.

Welcome, Kristie. Glad to have you with us.

Welcome, Christine.

Thank you Sherry! ^_^

I suppose my first post should have been in here, but I didn't think of it. ;)

Just wanted to say hello... I'm Kylie! I haven't found a group yet that really fits what I want, so perhaps this one will do it. Taking part in group reads has never been something I'm terribly good at (I like to read what I want, when I want), but surely there is some convo here that would interest me.

If not start one and others may join in .

I've thought about it, but running a group would probably take more time than I have. ;)

Welcome, Kylie. Glad to have you here.

I didn't mean start your own group, wouldn't want to lose you. I meant start a thread here about something you are interested in. Surely among the 4 ,000 ÷ members someone would chime in.

Carol, I might just do that! There is a place to discuss poetry, and that's one of the things I've been wanting. Seems like most poetry groups on goodreads focus on sharing their own writing from what I've seen thus far. I wouldn't mind doing that, but discussing the classics would be nice too. :)

Thank you, Sherry!

Post a poem. Will you be joining The Painted Veil discussion? I just finished it.

I'll post something in there once I decide what to post! hehe

Hmmm... I doubt that I will take part in the book discussion I guess. I have quite a few books lined up that I want to read. The book looks interesting though!

The Painted Veil is certainly an easy read and you might be able to fit it in easily. I can't wait for the discussion.

Hi. My name is Marty and I'm a native Vermonter transplanted to California. I I spent all my formative years in Vt, but I have been in CA for 41 years. Both feel like home. I am retired and disabled which leaves me with plenty of time for books, film, and art. I love to read and always have at least one book going and many more waiting.

Welcome to Constant Reader, Marty. Jump into the discussions. You'll find plenty of book recommendations here and we'd love to hear yours.
