Welcome to the group Lesley! As we are all romance readers, you picked a great group 😊

Generally the topics in each thread stick with the books being read or recommended however there is a chit-chat thread where you are welcome to discuss anything ~ within reason 🤣

I’m on my phone so I can’t put in a link but will try to remember to come back soon with that link. It’s pretty easy to find through if you just scroll down the topics.

Hi Guys, I am Yuliya, American living in London. I absolutely love reading, have loved it since I learned to do it when I was 4. I read whenever and wherever I can, now mostly romance, but I would devour anything you put in front of me.
I would like to get any recommendations for new books. I am also looking for buddies to read with.

Welcome Yuliya

You could try reading Finding Elenore. Readers are quietly raving over this life story

Welcome back to goodreads Karen and hope you are feeling better

Hi, guys! I'm R. J. and I love a wide variety of genres. Give me some high fantasy ala Raymond Feist or Robert Jordan. I'll devour paranormal fantasy as from Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, and Kim Harrison. Throw some Regency romance in there via Stephanie Laurens. Go paranormal fantasy due to Christine Feehan. I love to find new worlds to explore and revisit old friends.

Welcome to the group Yuliya, Karen & RJ!!! Hope you have a heap of fun finding new books to read here!

So many books; so little time 🤗

Hello from Sheboygan, WI. My name is Brenda and I got back into reading in January. I joined a romance book group on Facebook and they told me about Goodreads so here I am. I love books by Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, and looking for new authors to read.

Welcome to the group Brenda! So wonderful when you find new & helpful websites/forums 😊 Enjoy!

Thank you I look forward to finding new authors and books to read.

Hi Brenda
Welcome and hope you enjoy the group.

Hello I'm Mariana, I'm from Brazil, I've started to read a historical romance and that's became a passion. I like to finding new authors and books to read.

Hi. Welcome to the group

Welcome to the group Mariana!! Hope you find more historical romances on our members’ shelves to feed your new passion 😊

Welcome Brenda - lots of our members read those authors so I'm sure you'll find some new authors in amongst our shelves :D (I'm huge audio listener as well ~ not so great on the kindle, but only due to available 'sitting' time ;)

Hey, I'm from Florida and just finished publishing my first romance book. So exicted to be apart of the author community and hope to make a huge impact. I love reading, obsessed with Barnes and Noble, and dying to get my book on the shelves.

Hi Amber - so pleased you have decided to jump in and join us. Challenges are a great way to try find out what other members are reading. But a friendly warning - you can end up getting lost in some of those shelves or getting 'click-happy' over in the online bookstores ;)

Enjoy!

Hi all - I am so pleased to be part of this group. It goes without saying that I love romance. I read it, I write it and occasionally I even experience a bit of it myself, and those occasions, my friends, are the golden moments in life. xx

Hi just here to get lost in books

Welcome Tessa and Dwayne - welcome to the group! We all love books here so make yourselves at home!

Hi All, just joined Goodreads this week and came across this group!

I love to read since young and recently wrote a book based on true story. It is about a relationship with this lady whom has 15 years of Unspoken Words For Him.

Do have a read yea: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Look forward to having more fun with you guys!

Thank you Jane, much appreciated!

Welcome Odis - hope you enjoy it here!

Hello, I'm Gaea! I enjoy reading romance as a main plot or a subplot, especially in a fantasy book. I'm currently trying to break out of a long but unintentional reading hiatus; it's had a slow start so far but I'm hoping joining this group will help kick the process up a notch. And if I could make some friends who also enjoy reading, that would be a definite bonus!

Welcome to the group Gaea!! Hope our challenges and our members’ books help kick you back into reading!! Our team challenges also help to funk like-minded friends ~ keep an eye open for the next team challenge, but sadly it will likely be a month or more. I think the next will be The Bachelor Challenge 😊

Hi All, hope everyone good as am new here and love to read the books related to Romance please recommend if anyone have the best choice for me.

Welcome to the group Haseeb! Hope you find some great books in amongst our shelves and in the threads😊

Hi All :) I'm Laura, I somehow just discovered GoodReads only recently (I heard the gasps!) and am now taking some time to look around and see what all is here. I read Historical Romance, and write Regency Historical Romance (it is because of my current release that I found GoodReads). Now, I'm off to explore the group threads :)
