Welcome to the group, Llonna! I love KU - especially since I read heaps of audios, so Whispersync is a must to afford them ;)

Hi, I’m Sara! I joke that I only have like 1 hobby and it’s reading (also, not all that inaccurate hah!). Romance is the GOAT, and while I’m not that picky about what kind, my faves are probably suspense, historical, sci-fi, and a good old romcom. I do love nothing in the world so well as being engrossed in a good story! 📚😍

Welcome to the group Sara! I think the way a lot of us read in this group and our challenges, it really is our main hobby LOL!!

Hi, I’m Nina. I just got into reading, and I would love to become a reader, and own hundreds of books. It’s a way to escape reality for a while and I really enjoy it!

Hope to make some friends, and I would love book recommendations!

Hi everyone! My teammate Kat from the Hooked On Books The Name Game 2.0 Challenge mentioned this group during our discussion and sent me the link to join. I’m Nora and my all time favorite romance novel is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen! I have recently discovered the world of Regency and Historical romance novels and I love them so much!

Welcome to the group Nina and Nora!! (Alliteration!!)

Hope you love the group and find a heap of new books and friends. Please ask any questions in the threads or PM one of the mods if you need clarification or more information :)

Thanks so much for the kind welcome, Jane :))

Hi all! I am Sara. I am a Texas girl and joined the group mostly to help me sort through all the books I want to read. Thought it may be fun to join a group and talk about whatever books we read. Would also love recommendations on what I should start first. I very much enjoyed the "In Flight" series.

Welcome to the group Sara!! I found the Challenges really helped me organise (and read) my books. Unfortunately it had (and still has) the added effect of helping me buy more books! LOL.

Good luck!

OMG I buy too many books too! Thank you so much for the note.

Hi everyone, I am Nistha, originally from India but based in UK right now. I love books and reading ever since I was a kid but had hit a slump in my uni days. I have rediscovered my love for reading. I think challenges help me to either pick up books I would normally not read or to prioritize a book amongst gazillions out there! And isn't everything better when one has company?

Heyy
I am a huge romance especially smut and dark romance fan. This is my first time joining a group so ya nervous abt this thing haha

Hi everyone! I will read any genre, but romance is by far my favourite. I can't believe it's taken me this long to join a romance readers group! 💜

Welcome to the group Mary! Hope you have fun here. I also took ages to join a relevant group after I found GR, so I relate to your rhetorical question 🤣

Hello all!

I've been reading a lot (for me) lately and have already smashed my Goodreads 2023 reading challenge. I have no problem finding new books to read or picking the next one to start, but it's always fun to hit goals so I decided to join a group and get some new ones. :) I like this group because it's focused on romance and while I don't *exclusively* read romance, it's pretty close! I'm looking forward to see what everyone is reading, getting some recs and smashing goals with everyone!

Hi! I'm Nicole, I am into contemporary romance, YA, and murder mystery, and I am currently trying to explore the fantasy and dystopian genres. As of the moment, I am saving myself from a reading slump syndrome :))

LOL - welcome Stephanie!! Hope you can get over the reading slump with some great books from some of our members!

Happy hunting! (which is almost as much fun as reading ;)

Hi! My name is Brandee! Do we have any reading challenges or books we are reading this month? I’m a bit late to the month, but I will attempt to get on track.

Hello my name is Jackelyn. My favorite genre is romance and I have a addiction to buying books but never actually reading them (mostly due to motivation). I really like talking about books I’m reading and hearing others talk about there books.

Hello! My name is Madhumita and I look forward to participating in all your fun challenges.

Hello! I'm Tânia and I'm new here. I'm from Portugal and a book lover.
I use Goodreads to track my reading and organize my lists and now I'm looking for groups that can give me great recommendations and would love to meet cool new people too.

Monthly Challenges

Some great new additions to our membership!! Welcome Honeyee, Jackelyn, mnm and Tania!!

I joined GR for the same reason as most of you - to organise my books and work out which one to read next, along with recommendations and new authors. I love that we are still seeking the same information - in my case, over a decade later 🙃

HI! I'm new to goodreads and hoping to make some new friends.
I love discussing books especially romance wink* wink*
And if you're in need of some great book recs, I've got you.
Add me if interested.

Hi Vale - welcome to the group!! Hope you enjoy checking out the books here!

Hi I’m new to Goodreads still trying to learn how to navigate this app! I’m looking for groups to be able to talk about books!!

Hello!
My name is Gretchen and I absolutely love reading all kinds of romance and fantasy books!! I have spirts where I read A LOT and then nothing for months sooo my activity will reflect this. I joined to have some community with the books I read and to get great recommendations!! I am new ish to the app as well!

Hi!

I'm Ashley. I am a bit of an introvert and as I've gotten older, I found its harder to make friends so I have been using groups and group challenges to meet new people and make friends. I have been reading romance novels since before I really should have been reading them. I like to read all different kinds of romance but usually I read either historical romance or contemporary "why-chose" dark romance.

hii
