Oprah's Book Club at Goodreads discussion

Hello, my name is Brittany Burke & I am also new to goodreads. I live in Florida & I am a biology pre-med/ psychology student. I am a very passionate reader & loves enjoying a good book. I am very excited to be apart of this book club & I look forward to our future reads & discussions.

Hi Brittany! Welcome to our book club.

Brittany, Welcome from a "left coast" fellow bookworm. You sound like your hands will be full with the type of student you are. Reading for fun I'm sure can provide some well earned relaxation.

See ya around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm Liwin, from Indonesia. I started to read a year ago. Then I start to search for a bookclub in the web, I found Oprah's Book Club. I'm happy that I can participate in this group & looking forward to read with u guys.
*Sorry, my english is bad.

Hello!
I never had to look for a community of book-lovers, until I came up with this idea yesterday:

http://storiesaboutbooks.tumblr.com/
So I'm being honest about it :)

Definitely like the organisation of this community here and look forward to finding some good books and great stories!

Thanks for joining Mickey!

Welcome to this "private" library, Mickey. LOL You will definitely find us a welcoming bunch.

BTW where are you from?

Welcome to this "private" library Mickey. Feel free to send me a friend request. Can't wait to see what books we have in common.

BTW where are you?

So glad to hear that O has selected The Rebel Wife as one of its upcoming reads. Reading it now. Taylor Polites has done a fab job.

Hi, I'm Ellie and I just joined this group. I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I absolutely love reading and writing. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here and making new friends.

Hi Ellie,

Glad to meet you. I live in Tennesse.

And I live in Queensland, Australia. We have just currently experiencing unprecended flood levels but waters just dropping at my place this morning.

Unfortunately I won't be reading this group's current reads, as I will be a little preoccupied now.

Hello, I live in Tennessee. I have four grown sons and grandchildren. Now I'm at home with a cat and my husband. The cat is very spoiled. I love to read books. Have a hard time rating books. Would like to write a memoir or something one day. Also, would love to travel.

Welcome Hattie and Lesley!

Lesley, oh no! I hope everything gets back to normal soon. We'd love to have you whenever things are normal again :)

Hello all: I'm Karen. I teach journalism (First Amendment Rights, Media & Culture) at Central Washington University. I worked for many years as a reporter/columnist in a variety of places: Oregon, Washington, North Carolina & Georgia. My husband & I raised four kids to bright, shining adulthood. We are expecting our first grandchild this summer -- we are so excited about that. I also write books. My next book will be out in April, a true crime memoir that addresses child abuse. I do a lot of author interview on my blogsite. Most recently I interviewed Jonathan Odell about his latest novel The Healing. I'll be posting that interview soon. I like non-fiction, but I read a lot of Southern fiction. (*I grew up in the Southeast). If you like Southern Fiction Ann Hite's The Ghost on Black Mountain and Taylor Polities The Rebel Wife are both terrific reads, in addition to The Healing.
Nice to meet you all.

Greetings from Down Under

My co-writer/son James and I have co-authored two new release novels which have already appeared on Amazon’s bestseller lists in their respective categories. They are The Ninth Orphan and Fiji.

We are big Oprah fans and look forward to joining future discussions.

Hi Lance, Welcome to the Oprah group. My husband and I were fortunate to have the chance to travel to New Zealand last winter (your summer). We absolutely loved visiting your country and thought it was beautiful. It was probably the best trip that we ever took.

Hi Adriana, We just came back from a trip to Chile and Argentina. We had a fantastically interesting time there. What part of Argentina do you live in? We were in Mendoza, El Calafate, and spent a week in Buenos Aires.

Hi Lisa, nice to meet you. I live in a pretty city called Tandil, just 4 hours from Buenos Aires. But I was born in Buenos Aires.
I'm glad you enjoy your trip in my country.
I'm travelling to the States in June, my son lives in OKC. I really love your country and culture.
What do you think about Rin tin tin? I think it's not a gripping book

I haven't read Rin Tin Tin. What is it about?

I've just started. It's about Rin Tin Tin, you know the dog and the different dogs that created the character. His owner's life. Their deep bond. The narration of historical facts that took place when the dog was born, like the War and so on.

Thanks. Maybe I'll put it on my reading list.

Welcome Nealie! I haven't read it, but it sounds interesting!

Hello my fellow readers! My name is Dee and I in transition to a new job in Illinois with the United States Air Force. I enjoyed reading especially when Oprah makes a great recommendation and my budget allows me to purchase them on my Kindle! :) I am hoping for a new challenge since I love a challenge because it keeps our mind, body, and soul fresh!

Looking forward to having fun and meeting new people and books!

Welcome Dee! :)

Nice to meet you Dee!!
