Read Runners discussion

Hey everyone! I'm Markus, a weird Norwegian obsessed with fantasy and history (reading, writing and studying both), and lots of other cool things. I was invited by Anirudh (who's been my friend for quite some time on here), and I see that the group also contains a bunch of other people I know.

I'm more or less a Goodreads veteran by now (you can use that title after being active on the site for more than a year, no?), and since I already spend way too much time on GR, I probably won't be particularly active in this group. But it appears to be a nice group full of interesting people, so I'll try to sneak in here and there :)

Have a fabulous day!

Hello all,

I'm Karolina from Warsaw, Poland and I'm new to this group. Well, to be honest, I'm new to the Goodreads groups in general.

I love almost all genres of books, apart from reading I enjoy playing computer games (RPGs, platformers, indie and adventure games mostly) and board games, knitting (I'm currently working on a Harry Potter themed scarf) and enjoying life in general.

Nice to meet you all fellow book addicts!
