You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Welcome to You'll Love This One (YLTO). Please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about you. :)

Hello. I am new here. I just started to read again as my children are getting older. I have triplets GBG that will be 9 this summer. Besides reading I am a dial scrapbook addict.

Sorry for the typo. It should have read digital scrapbook addict.

Oh, ok! That I know about! lol I thought maybe somebody had developed a new kind of scrapbooking that I hadn't heard about yet! Welcome to the group! You will love it here! I hope you get to read as much as you'd like - its good for the kids to see you read!

Welcome to the group, Mom! You must be a very busy lady running after 3 nine year olds. :) We're glad to have you join us.

Hi Mom! Glad you joined us. You'll find an interesting variety of activities and plenty of great books here.

With triplets you must have plenty to scrapbook! I still do physical scrapbooking, but as I reach the point where all my pictures are digital, I'll probably have to switch.

Welcome to YLTO Mom2triplets04!!

Hi everyone! My husband and I are empty-nesters who've recently moved from the Twin Cities of Minnesota to a tiny town in eastern Washington (Walla Walla). I'm a freelance writer and English major who returned to school to finish a degree while raising children in ten different states over the years. (My husband is an hotelier: frequent moving is a prerequisite!) I'm one course short of the degree as I write, the last class being precalculus taken as a distance course from the U of MN.

Now I find myself in the long-awaited, luscious situation of having large chunks of time to read. I love short stories and have a fondness for British and Irish authors in particular. But I just basically adore books, on almost any subject: biographies, history, poetry, current event topics, children's lit, and even science books are fun, I think, to mix in with fiction reading.

I'm looking forward to being part of this group and sharing some reading adventures!

Welcome Mom and Maureen. You've found diverse group of people. We have a lot of fun together, oh and read some pretty good books too!☻

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Almeta! This group sounds like just what I was looking for :)

Hello new people I don't know. My name is Jessica. Love to read different kinds of books, but mostly fantasy, mystery, romance, action. Kind of a mix.

Welcome Momtotrips and Maureen. You have found a great group- we have lots of fun. Maureen I live in Western Washington but my daughter is going into her second year at the University of Minnesota. Both places are beautiful. Being an empty nester is great fun- lots of extra time to read!

Welcome Maureen! If you love British and Irish authors, the Challenge for July will be right up your alley.

Welcome Jessica! You'll get to know us quickly by jumping in and participating in the various activities.

haha can't wait !!! Is this also were we can ask about any recommendations of books cause I'm all ears?

If you scroll through the discussions thread, there is one set up for recommendations. Feel free to post any requests you have there.

Thanks, Marnie. Hope your daughter is loving MN. If this is her second year, she's to be congratulated for making it through one of their classic winters!

Janice, hello! Thank you, I do like that July challenge. Going to read Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth.

Sounds great, Maureen! Make sure you post your choice in the challenge thread. That's where all the action will be. :)

Hi, I'm Sara, from Chicago. I'm still exploring, but I definitely joined specifically for the buddy read of A Suitable Boy. Looking forward to chiming in where I can!

This place is busy today!! Huge welcome to Maureen, Jessica, and Sara!

Jessica you will soon have more books to-read than you will ever read in your lifetime here :)

Hi Maureen! I think you'll find a good variety of books here, as well as some fun challenges.

Hi James. I just welcomed you over in another thread, but I will welcome you in this one too.

Hiya James! Welcome to YLTO!

Hello to everyone who joined in the last week.

Make yourself comfortable, ask any questions you need, and hopefully you all enjoy reading along with us!

A belated welcome to the group James.

Hi, my name is Mary. I love many genres of books: historical fiction, thrillers, fantasy, YA & literary fiction. I'm looking forward to participating in the group. Sounds like fun!

Hi Mary! Welcome. Jump right in.

Welcome to the group Mary! You'll find lots of fun ways to participate and find some great books.

Welcome Mary!

We're only half way through July, so feel free to head over to the July challenge and see if you'd like to join us. Nothing like jumping in the deep end ;) http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Hey Guys! I'm really excited to be joining a group of readers like myself! I love the classics of the 20th century that show the human condition and express the ultimate truths in our world. I'm young, but my taste in literature is old. I really want to discuss literature with people who enjoy it as much as I do, to learn and hear others ideas while expressing my own!

Hi Luke! Welcome to our group. We have buddy reads which may be the perfect way to get people reading and talking about any book. There are quite a few people here who love classics.
