Hi, I'm Ozsaur, or just Oz. I'm into the home stretch on my Goodreads challenge - 10 books to go! I've been reading all women writers this year as a side challenge, and it's been a blast.

Hey! I’m Laur. I enjoy good clean writing in a variety of genres without the filthy vulgarities or steamy raw sex scenes. Think PG or PG-13. Keen to find friends with similar interests, and that write reviews / give recommendations.

Hey everyone! I've been having a lot of fun reading other people's introductions so I figured I should write one of my own! So hey there, I'm Roni. I'm a nerdy Israeli who pretty much loves reading a bit of everything. I always end up writing reviews that are more like blog posts and I absolutely love having conversations with people from here.

Hi everyone!
I'm Petra, I'm a computer science student living in the centre of Europe :)
Fun fact about me is that what I'm passionate about change with time (it never goes away, but it just goes on the back burner).
My latest "passion" is that I got a Kindle recently and now I'm reading as much as it is humanly possible.

I also love Goodreads! I love managing and reviewing books, finding new quotes, see what the others thought about various books...so this is my heaven.

I would also love to make new friends here so feel free to chat with me and/or add me as a friend!

Hi Everyone, I'm Jess. I'm 28 and I'm excited to find this group. I read a little bit of everything but I have a soft spot for comics/graphic novels/manga, fantasy, paranormal, and cozy mysteries.

Other than reading I love gaming, crafts (mostly beading, cross stitch, and knitting but I will try any craft if it seems cool), baking, and going to museums, etc. I have an amazing fiance (getting married in March) and we have a giant ginger cat named Zeus.

Feel free to add me as a friend.

HI everyone! My name is Cindy and I love reading. My favorite genre is contemporary romance. I try to read at least 2 books a month outside of my favorite genre just to remain diverse. LOVE polls, so I'm glad I found this group.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Kyra. My favorite genres are mystery/thriller and fantasy. Last couple of years I haven't been reading as much. I am trying to get back into it.
You can add me as a friend if you like or recommend books to be. I am always looking to read books outside of my normal reading zone.

hi 👋

you’re welcome. 🙂

Hey everyone! I've been a part of this group for a little while, but I guess I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Cat, and I've been a reader and writer ever since I was young. Only in the past couple of years did I become a fangirl- I love Percy Jackson, Marvel, Shadowhunters, the Lunar Chronicles, Serafina, Pirates of the Caribbean, and so much more! Feel free to check out my bio, or even friend me if we have the same interests!

Hello! My name is Vera, I come from Portugal, though I live in the US, and some of my favorite authors are Maggie Stiefvater, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas, and Ashley Poston!(My favorite books are the books of the authors above) I obviously love to read, I sing and play the violin, and I would appreciate some book recommendations!

Hello Vera and welcome. It would appear that you read a lot of young adult fantasy books. I found a page on Goodreads with a whole list of popular books that fit that criteria. Here you go -

Thank you Cindy!

Hi my name is Elizabeth, I love to read,write,getting to know people, and i'm shy ;) my fav. Books are keeper of the lost citys, harry potter, and hunger games.

Hi! My name's Charlene, I live in England and my favourite book... it's definitely a tie between the Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I'm super shy and kind of awkward so I find it easier to interact with internet friends :)

Hi I'm Precious (my real name I swear.) From the U.S. Outgoing once spoken to, looking for more friends to see more books out there and see more opinions. I like YA/NA, Romance of any kind, loveeee fantasy (the darker the better though,) thillers are great but I'm always on the fence when trying to pick one. Not really a fan of horror so meh. Feel free to be my friend :)

Yo. I'm Kenna. I love making friends and talking about books, and it seems like Goodreads is the perfect place for that! I like almost every genre of reading, I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, I'm planning my wedding (stressy, oh no) and I enjoy hiking, hammocking, and kayaking! Add me as a friend, hum, and I'd love to chit chat!

Laura-Lee is in the house. And I have been known to have at least 3 opinions on any 1 given topic. At your disposal. 😔

I’ve been in here for a little bit but I don’t think I ever introduced myself! I’m Brin!!
I love reading and i’m a huge fangirl (my friends can testify. i’ll start freaking out about a book they’ll never read and they’ve just learned to sit quietly and nod while i talk).
I’m also writing my own book! I’m hoping to get it published

Hello,
I’m Abbie and I’m from the UK. I enjoy reading, listening to music, colouring, watching tv shows and films. Book genres I enjoy include classics, romance, young adult and fantasy.

Hello! My name is Charee, and I've been a reader my whole life, but I only got into romance (which is the only genre I read nowadays) around maybe 2014-15? It's only been a few years, but I'm obsessed. (:

Aside from reading, I also love music (I listen to pretty much anything, but I've been into kpop since 2018 and fell in love), anime, asian dramas, marvel movies, and playing guitar. Feel free to send me a friend request if you want! I'm always happy to make new friends! <3

Hey, I’m Nafisa. I love reading books and hiking trails. Happy to have discovered this group!

I'm Belle as most call me on here but my actual name is Nichole (yes with an H in it haha).

I'm 29, oldest of all my siblings, two of which are married. growing up in the 90s I read the orginal Magic Treehouse books, also Junie B. Jones, Adventurre of Bailey's schoolkids, Guardians of Ga'hoole (which got me LOVING owls) and then somehow I lost it but long story short got it back in 2006 in my Sophomore year of high school and since then with trying to find what I like and don't like has been quite the journey.

it was a good thing cause I've been a sexual abuse survivor for the last 9 years this year and my abuser who was my own narcissistic and bipolar dad is now in prison (got a divorce from mom last year which was a good thing and she had put up with some of his manipulative sh** for 30 years of marriage) for also abusing one other of my sisters and even though he literally blamed me for talking idc cause he's not sorry for what he did to any of us including sleeping around for years. but I'm glad I have my love of books and reading because it literally had been very therapeutic for me and have gotten me through some tough moments and now I feel even MOREat peace and freedom and also glad to be a part of this book community.

so anyway, a few other things: I will ALWAYS be a BSB fangirl, I like shows/movies most guys would watch "religiously" (like for instance 24 tv show, Fast and Furious franchise, Gladiator, Vikings on history....), I'm also getting into writing just for fun and actually having fun and im a HUGE puzzle person so something challenging between 1000 to 2000 pieces I'll do but listen to audiobooks as a background whether library disc or on the Libby app :)

Your open honesty just about punched me in the face. I'm so glad reading has helped you heal and I'm so sorry for the things you've gone through. You are amazing!!

I too will always be a BSB fangirl! :D And I loved the Bailey School Kids books!! I gave the first 12 to my 8-year-old nephew for his last birthday and I kind of wanted to re-read them first but they were shrink-wrapped...lol.
