Hi Lheira, I used google translate to translate your message. If it is accurate I believe it reads, "Hi, I'm from Venezuela and recently entered the group, yet well I manage the application and do not speak English, the translator is not the best. I hope to share more soon ambientarme. Greetings."

I hope you enjoy our group.

Hello! My name is Anastassiya and I'm from Kazakhstan Almaty. I love reading though there is not much time for this in my life. My native language is Russian so the English reading is a good way for me to study the language. Nice to join this group!

Welcome Anastassiya! I hope you have fun here, I know I do. I think the challenges are a lot of fun and I can't wait to see you in some of them!

Hi! I've been on goodreads for a while, never joined a group....not sure what to do :)

I read about a book a day when I'm not working. If I'm reading a series, I prefer to read them all at once, or go back and reread...but I'm not too picky...I tend to read several on one genre and then get board and move on to another...

Looking forward to figuring out the challenges and reading new books!!!

Hi Alisha! Welcome to the group! You have good timing - the new challenges for September were just posted! I found the monthly challenges the easiest to start with, but soon I was truly addicting and joining lots of challenges!!

Hi Alisha! Like MK said, September challenges have just been posted and the monthlies are a great place to start. I'm glad you found us :) Welcome to the group!

Thank you MK and Breann!! I was clicking around and found a Stair Challenge...I really liked that:) I will now try to find the September Post...

Hey there everyone! I am totally addicted to reading and am loving every minute of it! I totally love romance novels and enjoy doing challenges thru the year to help me reach my yearly reading goals. I also founded The Happy Housewives Book Club on Goodreads, if you would like to join come on over and check us out!
I am married with no children, but I do have two alaskan malamutes Reign and Breeze. I welcome any friend requests as I love to meet new people and welcome any recommendations that people care to give. :)

Hi Samantha and welcome! I hope you have fun here! You already know addicting challenges can be, so I don't need to warn you! =P

Hi Samantha! Welcome to the group :)

Welcome to the group Anastassiya, Alisha and Samantha!!! All the new monthly challenges are just about to start :)

Hello! My name is Veronica and I´m from Rome, Italy.I love reading, specially romantic novels but I also like historical novels, thrillers. I really like the challenges because it allows me to read books that otherwise would not have taken into consideration!

wow, lots of newbies and RRRC is making their mark around the world ;) Venezuela is on my bucket list of places to visit

Hi Mave! Welcome to the group! I hope you have as much fun with the challenges as I do!! I think my husband and I are going to try to get to Italy in the next year or so! We haven't made any plans yet though...

Welcome everyone :)

Hi. I'm Steph and I love to read any genre of books but romance books are my favorite. I love both old and new romance. It doesn't matter so long as I'm entertained. And I'm going to have plenty of time to complete the challenges while I look for a new job. This is going to be fun!!

Hi everyone

Hi Stephanie! Welcome to the group! I saw you had signed up for a few challenges already - yay!!

Hello there. Just joined. I am just getting back into reading since my kids are much older and I actually find I have more time to read now. Plus I got an Ipad and I find I love to read on it. My reading passion is a great love story...but I do read other types of books as well but only if someone tells me about it and it's sounds good to me. Thanks...

Hi Mary - welcome to the group!! I didn't read when my kids were little either and love that I am able to again (and have been back at it for several years!). You should be able to get some recommendations in and around the different challenges. I hope to see you around the group!

Welcome to the group Veronica, Steph and Mary! Jump into the challenges - the monthly challenge is always a good initial one since you can pick your level and it makes you think about what you have available to read and how you can fit it to the challenge categories :) Here's the link to follow: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Enjoy!

hello, everyone i am marwa ,i love to read all kinds of stories ...especially romance novel

Hi Marwa! Welcome, I hope you have as much fun here as I do!

Hi my name is Marianna and I can't handle challenges.
I start out motivated and excited but then... I get lost in a sea of books that are not related to the challenge!

I think I'm too ambitious with my challenge choices. I want to be a challenge MASTER, dammit!

Somebody help me, please.
Are there little challenges anyone knows about? Simple ones. Not too many books. Maybe with a set reading list to choose from?

Hey everybody, I'm Jessica I'm 13. Read 24/7 I read practically every genre (romance and erotica especially apart from horror.

I'm excited to see what everyone does in the group!

hi Marianna - one of the betters ones to start out with would probably be the PIFM - it is a monthly challenge - you are paired with someone who gives you a list of 8 books to pick from (half from your to-read; half new to you) - you only have to read 1

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Welcome to the group Marwa, Marianna and Jessica!! Hope you find heaps to keep you entertained :)

Marianna - there are some smaller challenges in the Other Challanges folder as well, like Read A Rainbow. That challenge is a Bookcover based challenge of 7 books over 3 months.

Hi Jessica and Marianna!

Marianna, in addition to what Dee and Jane suggested there are also some group buddy reads every month that you might be interested in joining!

Thank you guys for the suggestions.
For now I'll think I'll wait till next months PIFM!

hi everyone welcome to the group

Hello, everyone! I'm Kay. I love happy endings hence I mostly read romance novels. I have just joined a challenge here in RRRC and am ready to take on more.
Happy reading!

Welcome Kay! So pleased you have jumped in feet first into a challenge. Hopefully we can entice you into many more :)

Thanks for the welcome, Jane!
RRRC has been taking some of my reading time since I joined it about three days ago. Judging from the number of notifications I've received from RRRC, this group sure is busy. The challenges are really fun and the members' entries have given me to-read ideas. Great job, Moderators! :D A labor of love for the love of romance. You're not getting paid for this, are you? :D

Hello! I'm AC Kavich, avid reader and writer of romantic fiction. Glad to be here!

Feel free to send me a friend request : )

Hi Kay and A.C. - welcome!!

The moderators here do a wonderful job! They keep us all on track and busy with lots of challenges!! It is a fun place to be and talk about reading!

Hi AC! Welcome to the group - sounds like you will fit in very easily. A love of romance is our only key requirement :)

Hello! I'm fairly new, and just now coming out of the woodwork to say hello.

Like most of you, I'm an inveterate reader. I love pretty much any book, from non-fiction to fiction, and that includes romances. Who could say that the world doesn't need more love?

What I love about romance is Austen-like "learning" that often happens for both hero and heroine; they become better people, not just good spouses. I really like that idea of redemption.

I think that's why I usually like beta heroes... they seem more realistic when they grow and learn. But who wouldn't appreciate the alpha who adores and loves his lady?

Well said Erin! Welcome to the group!

Glad you popped out of the woodwork, Erin! And I agree that it is lovely to see both MCs grow to be better be because of their relationship. As my husband says, your partner should lift you to be a better person :)

Hi everyone! I'm Susie! Never was a big reader growing up but I travel an hour to and from work so I got into reading and love romance novels! Came across this website when looking for good books to read and love all the reviews!

Hi everyone,

I'm Noura. I looooooove to read.

Look at all the newbies!! =)

Welcome Susie and Noura! I hope you have as much fun in this group as I do - feel free to jump in to any of the challenges! And please ask if you need help, everyone is nice and helpful here!

Welcome Susie and Noura!! Great to have you with us.

Watch out Susie - your wishlist will grow exponentially, and you'll be haunting discount romance ebook websites before you know it! The members in this group are very encouraging and enabling if you are looking to buy romance books ;)

Ok! Happy to be here :-)

hi everyone

I guess I haven't done this yet.

My name is Sara. I'm 37 and married to a sailor. We tend to move a lot and we are currently in MD. I'll read just about anything, I'm trying to stay away from YA right now.

If you want, you can add me as a friend. I love meeting new people.

Hi Sara!! Welcome, hope to see you in some of the challenges!

Welcome to the group Sara :) Look forward to seeing your Bat Vader avatar around!

hi Sara! where in MD are you? I live in southern MD and just got out of the Navy a few months ago
