Welcome to Goodreads All Sorts! :-)

Looks like a great group Jack. I've been looking for a nice Goodreads group to join. I like how you have a lot of different topics.

Not sure where to introduce myself so I'll do it here.
My name is Lynn, I've been with my hubby for 32 years, have a 22 year old daughter. Love to read. Have been quite into the dystopian type novels lately but like all sorts of books. Am a sci-fi nerd. Love music (more into the heavy rock/metal than mainstream stuff). I live in Australia and I'm 49 years old. Pleased to meet you all.

Hi Lynn and welcome to the group!

We have an introductions thread in the general folder but here is fine. I'm really into dystopian novels at the moment as well. I'm reading the "Gone" series by Michael Grant at the moment and I can't put it down! :-)

That's a series I want to read :) Thanks for the welcome. I copied and pasted my intro to the other board. Might as well put it in the right place LOL

Hi Kyle! Welcome to the group. Music is my life too! I play piano and I love any genre. It's great to have you as a part of our group. :-)

Hey Kyle, nice to meet you :) Wow, you like to do a lot of things :) I forgot to mention that I love to draw/sketch and love making art journals. I used to be a bit of a horror buff but the older I get the more they scare me LOL. I sooooo know what you mean about still feeling 17. Sometimes I think my daughter acts older than I do (and so does she ha ha)

I love to draw as well! I'm such an art junkie! Yeah I'm not too big a fan of horror, but I did go through a stage of constant reads of horror.

HEY EVERYONE!

Hi!

How are you jack?

Good. How are you , and welcome to the group by the way!

Hi Christine :) Oooh, another artistic type, Jack :) When I was young, horror was all that I would read. Now I can't stomach a lot of it LOL

I love watching horror movies and I'm not doing good

We have a lot of artistic people in our group. Horror is just too scary for me at the moment, I'm sure ill get into mild horror again someday.

I can't believe no one likes horror movies

I love horror movies they r the best

Why aren't you doing good? I like the occasional horror movie but horror books I just don't like.

Well my lower back was hurting me really bad last night and horror books I don't read

Ah, that's not good. Hope you feel better later on. :-)

Aww thanks and I like your profile picture

Oh yeah, I get that a lot! Haha

Oh lol

Haha, thanks!

I've been trying to figure that out but I don't know. Who is it?

@Kyle - Yes, I've been drawing and sketching all my life. I've dabbled in watercolours too. Hubby bought me some watercolour crayons and they are the best thing I've used in years. I have an art room (or as I like to call it - an art studio lol) in my house. I was into scrapbooking for years and on some design teams so I turned one of my rooms into a studio to keep up with all the work. I'm by no means really good at the drawing and sketching but I love doing it.

It's cool that you have an art journal :) I actually have a few of them. I usually make the whole thing myself and some of them I use like a diary but with art, my poetry, stories etc. instead of normal "diary" type entries. It's fun and keeps me happy :)

I must admit that I haven't watched many of the newer horror movies. I'm more into sci-fi. I did hear about a couple of movies that kids/teens (and older people) were watching. Turned my stomach. They were called The Human Centipede 1 & 2. After hearing about that I didn't want to watch a horror movie ever again.

Hahah, I wish my body felt 17 again but at least my mind does :)

I have an art studio in my house too Lynn!

We have a lot in common Jack :)

Yes we do! :-)

Cool. What are your favorite horror films, Maya?"

The Exorcist is my favourite horror movie, I also like The Omen Trilogy and The remake, Salems Lot, Halloween and much much more lol

Hello Jack.
Just recently found goodreads on the web, and came across your group today. Sounds like it will be a very interesting place.
I'm 62, married, have adopted my grandson (10 years old in April). Live in south Florida now. Grew up in the Detroit area, spent 20 years in Texas.
I enjoy photography and making artist trading cards, a sort of miniture collage.
Interests: anything dealing with the arctic or anarctic, American and Irish history, horror and ghost stories, stories about animals, especially dogs.

Love Cussler, Vince Flynn, Robert B Parker.

Yes, I have Friday the 13th 1-7 boxset but I only really liked the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th but overall its good horror series I've never seen Hell Night I just googled it and it sounds good thanks for the recommendation I might give it a look :)

My favorite horror movies are called valentine and halloween and the bad seed

@ Kyle, wow we have a lot in common too (along with Jack). Watercolour crayons are sooooo incredible. They cost a small fortune for the really good ones but my hubby found me some reasonably priced ones which I'm happy with. Ha ha, the "art studio" sounds more impressive than it actually is :) But it's mine and I love it :)
If you want to see some pictures of it, there are quite a few on my blog. There's some on this page - http://lynn-mccorry-2.blogspot.com.au...

If you search the blog for scraproom I think you'll find lots of close up shots of different things I have in there etc. This is the link to the main page of my blog - http://lynn-mccorry-2.blogspot.com.au/

I haven't updated it in a few months. Must get back to that. I have an older blog - there's a link to it on the page somewhere.

Ahh, Logan's Run! A life changing movie for me. That was one of the movies that really got me into sci fi. I love all the Alien movies too.

My middle name is Lynn

I love your drawings and your blog Lynn! Your very talented.

I think your scrapbook looks awesome Lynn and lynn add me as a friend on facebook and here's my facebook link

Hi Michael and welcome. :) Goodreads and this group are so great. How lovely to have a grandson. I'm actually looking forward to being a grandma one day. My daughter is engaged but won't be getting married until she finishes uni where she is studying to be a psychologist. She's just finished her bachelors but still has 2 - 3 years to go. Looks like it will be some time before I become a grandparent :(

I started making artist trading cards last year. Not to swap though. Just for myself. I add them to journals, handmade cards etc. They are great fun to make and I really enjoy it.

It's lovely to meet you :)

Congratulations to your daughter

Yes, congratulations.

Thanks for all your lovely comments :)

@ Christine, I've just accepted the invite. Thanks so much. I really look forward to getting to know you :) I find that the name Lynn is more common as a middle name than a first name. My mum called me that because she didn't want people to shorten my name. Consequently, I get called Lynnie, Lindyloo, etc. People do love to change a name ha ha Thanks for the congrats to my daughter. She's been engaged for about 4 years now and they won't get married until she's done with uni. Otherwise she will lose her government allowance. They are happy to wait. They are already like an old married couple. LOL
BTW, is Valentine the movie with David Borneaz (sp?) I've seen a movie by that name with him in it and loved it.

@ Kyle - awww thank you for your lovely words. We are in the process of changing our house around (Jade no longer lives at home) so I'm going to use her (bigger) bedroom as my new art room. Can't wait :) Ripley would be one of my favourite sci-fi characters as well. Love tough female characters. I also love Corbin Dallas (Bruce Willis played that role in The 5th Element). Love Arnold as The Terminator... Goodness I could go on and on :)

@ Jack - thanks for your lovely words and for the congrats to my daughter :)

Hope I haven't missed anyone :)

Yeah i know i saw that and your welcome and i'm looking forward to getting to know you too and i was looking at your pictures on facebook and i liked them and yeah your right and i hope your daughter's wedding goes good and that's cool lol

Hi, everyone!

It's great to see some familiar faces. For those that don't know me, my name's Dustin. I recently because a father for the first time (though I do have two stepsons, ages 17 and 12.) My son, Carter Jaxon, will be 4 months on the 9th of next month. There are several photos on my page, if you'd like to see them.

Aww, so cute Dustin!

Thank you, Jack!

Hi all !! I'm Melissa and I'm almost 36. I'm a single mother of an almost 14 yr old son. I live in Michigan, in a suburb of Detroit. I am on disability for Rheumatoid Arthritis so I have a lot of free time for reading. I also like to crochet and play with my 2 cats! Can't wait to get to know everyone better!

Hi Melissa, welcome to the group, I'm excited to get to know you to! :-)

Hello all! My name is Char and I love to read. I mostly read horror and dark fiction, but I also like some of the classics, and non fiction as well.

Melissa, sorry to hear about your RA. I have an auto immune arthritis as well called spondylitis or spondyloarthropathy.

I'm currently reading . It's very good so far.

Hi Char, welcome to the group.

Hi, Charlene and Melissa!!:) Welcome!

Hi Dustin! *waving*

Thanks, Jack.
