Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Hi, I am so excited to be apart of this group! My name is Caitlyn and I'm from Wisconsin! I just started reading for enjoyment again after finishing college, and am so excited to find more books to my TBR! I also need to catch up on books I missed reading while I was in college! So please give some recommendations of books to add to my TBR list!

Hi, I'm Melanie from Minneapolis. I'm fairly new to this group and have already joined a couple challenges. I have a degree in French, Italian and History, so I'm very interested in reading "Romance" language novels, and historical romances. Looking forward to the discussions!

Hi Everyone! I'm new here. My name's Aria. I'm into fantasy books but I'm reading a lot more smutty romances right now. It definitely help me get over my reading slump.

LOL - welcome to the group Aria!! Sometimes smut just hits the mark 😁 Plenty of fantasy readers around here - so hopefully you will find new inspiration (in smut or fantasy 😘)

Hi:) I'm Anna and though I've been reading for a couple of years, it last year I really discovered my love for romance books. My favorites romance books are probably also Pride and Prejudice and Get a Life, Chloe Brown:)

Hello my name is Lizeth I am in the Army and I love to read soooo much. I hope to read as many new books as I can.

Welcome to the group Anna and Lizeth!! Hope you have fun checking out the books in this group (challenges and book shelves)!!

Recently found some of mom's old 80's bodice ripper books in garage!! These book covers are AMAZING! LOL - anyone have any faves from this era?

Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m not technically new to the group, I just haven’t had a chance be an active member. I like fantasy, chick-li, sci-fi, etc. I cannot read a single book no matter the genre if there is no romance. So I feel this group is for me. :)

I love romance, I absolutely love and I absolutely adore romance. I love to read about two people who fall in love or fall out of love and fall in love again, I love to read about two friends finding love after so many years of unbreakable friendship, and I love to read a funny stories about love. I may not be the biggest of fans, but it's certainly better to read a romance novel than is to read a thriller one or psychological thriller one. I think of myself as a hopeless romantic, because I believe in the power of love, and that love's not overrated. And I absolutely love to discuss and strike up conversations about life, about love, about the Universe, and about anything that's truly important. I review everything I read. If you feel the exact same way, you know where I am, you know where to find me. Thank you & God bless

Welcome Michelle! Romance just makes the reading worthwhile, doesn't it? 🤓

Hi, guys! My name's Jasmin and I'm thirty-three year old male who comes from one of the smallest of countries in the world which is also the only country in the world with "Love" in its name.

But anyway, my friends often tell me that I am overly grateful and overly kind, for according to their opinion, I am grateful for the smallest of things and I am way too kind.

Another thing you should know is that I've very beautiful soul, very beautiful mind, and very beautiful heart, and I am as genuine as they come. I love to read books, but I literally obsess with books that have beautiful and mysterious covers because I absolutely love and adore books that have beautiful and mysterious covers.

I am open to any genre that's out there, except for Fantasy, and the reason why I am here, the real reason why I a here is because I want to meet people from all walks of life and from all over the world, make friends with them.

So if you find me even remotely interesting, you know where to find me. Thank you & God bless =)

Welcome Jasmin - hope you find some new books to check out, and people to chat with about them!

Thank you, Jane =)

Hi! Love reading, but only restarted reading tons in the last couple years (after staying away awhile) and moreso now because I have an infant. Joined to see if I can find good recommendation since I'm in a very romance reading phase!

Hey >.<
Cannot explains the rush I got making a new Goodreads profile after getting back into reading again. Growing up, I always had my nose stuck in a book but around high school I only saw myself having time to read the books given to me by my English teachers for a grade. As a college student who would read torturous webtoons that would update every few days, I decided to get back into my love for books (and wow did I forgot how much I enjoyed it).

I hope to discover new books and really immerse myself into the world of romance and erotic literature while making new friends with similar tastes who can bring new stories to the table!

*I love many genres but have found myself really enjoying romance as of late

Hii!
im lauren and new here!!
i love reading! im 29 with 3 kids and an un healthy tea obsession!

Hi, even I'm a french romance writer and enjoy reading romance books in french and in english since 2020. 2 books each week and more if I've the time after my work, traveling with words is wonderful.

Hiya! I'm Wasabii, I'm obsessed with romance books, and i read wayyy too much, so i usually prefer series instead of one offs.
My favorite series to date is The Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchins.

Welcome everyone (Sonia, Nyla, Lauren, Lily and Wasabii)!! Sorry - real life has been kicking my butt so I haven't been able to hop on :)

So great to see more lovers of romance! I hope you all find some great new books here. The challenges are always good for finding new authors and reads, just seeing what everyone else is posting, but feel free to stalk the group bookshelf and member profiles if they are 'open'.

Cheers

I know what do you mean... It's not so much easy sometimes and yeah I'll share some books in french and in english.

Hi all! I just joined - and I’m excited to read romance books and discuss them with you guys. 😁

Hi Noor - welcome! There is no age limit on joining this group. (When there is an age limit for a group, the mods check your profile and only allow you in once they are sure you are 18 or more.)

All our challenges are open unless it requires members to go through other members' books. If that occurs, we limit the challenge to those 18 yo or more - that's only because some of our members have erotic or 'adult' material on their bookshelves.

Hope you enjoy the group, challenges and chats with other members :)

Hey everyone! I just joined...like a few minutes ago? I search for romance in every book, because who wouldn't agree that it makes it all better? I'm here because...i just want to be a part of a reading community i suppose. To be able to have a group of people i can gush about my favorite book boyfriends and things like that. I don't know how active i'll be because *sigh* exams are coming!! Anyway, hiiiii! :D

Welcome to the group Pranjal!! Look forward to seeing you here as little or as much as works for you :)

Good luck with your exams!

I joined some hours ago. I write romance among other genres, but erotica is my favorite. I enjoy reading and producing stories that stimulate. Dropping to say hello to my new group.

Hey everyone! I’m a Iyeh (pronounced: Ee Yay) from Nigeria. I’m trying to get into reviewing books on goodreads and want to make friends on here. I love reading romance, but chick lit is my guilty pleasure.

Welcome to the group Iyeh!! Hope you enjoy our challenges & posts - and find some great books!! 😊

Hi, I’m here new :)
