Tana and Sheri!!

Hey everyone! I'm Sheri, and I am completely addicted to Goodreads. I log on multiple times a day to check and see what everyone is talking about...very bad when I'm supposed to be working. I love getting new book suggestions and meeting new people to discuss books with. I've found so many great books through GR that I probably would have never heard of otherwise. I love to read and would rather be reading than just about anything else. I love being pulled into a world that I never could have created on my own. My most read genres are paranormal, paranormal romance, YA, urban fantasy, thriller/suspense, and horror, but I am always open to suggestions.

About Me: I have kids, I work from home, and I literally am at the computer eight or more hours a day :/ (Of course, some of that time is spent on GR!). I also do a lot of volunteer work, so I am always very busy. I am a night owl, many nights staying up until 12:00 or 1:00 (later on weekends), and then getting up around 5:00 or 5:30 to start my day. Who needs sleep? My favorite food is Mexican, I love Mt. Dew, and I am a little OCD. I think that's it. I look forward to chatting with all of you about books and such!

Hi Everyone,

First I want to say thank you to Tt for answering all my questions that I am going to be asking in the future LOL What is that old say " patience is a virtue" ha-ha.

So a little bit about myself:

I am really looking forward to being a moderator in this great group and meeting all the members old and new.

So most of my evenings and weekends are spent reading, and looking around on goodreads. I have a blog that I have been working on a daily basis, its been fun and I am learning new things everyday.

I am an avid reader, and I read many different types of books. My favorites are YA and adult PNR/UF, mystery, murder, YA and adult romance. I love a book that can make me laugh.

I just recently bought a kindle and I love it, I carry around with me everywhere I go I bought it a pink case to keep it safe. I love electronics devices....I needed an I pad so I went out and bought one, then I decided I should have a blackberry playbook so I ordered one of them to. In my defence it was 300 dollars off. I really wanted the kindle fire but they are not being sold in Canada yet.

Ok so I am Canadian, I live in a small town in Northern Ontario...we get a lot of snow and have very cold winters. Maybe to show everyone the true north I will take some pictures when we have a snow storm.

Other then that I spend most of my time reading or on goodreads. Lately I have been on my blog trying to figure out how to add things to it.

I am always available to answer any questions so email me anytime. I look forward to seeing what everyone is reading and hope we can all share our thoughts on these books.

Thanks for reading about me.

Tana

I just got a Kindle, too. I've had it for about a week, and I absolutely love it!

Hi Sheri, I went to add you to my friends list and you were one already LOL I laughed when I read your post, omg we could be sisters I have ADD and I tend to be on goodreads while I'm at work to I even read sometimes but no one knows that but me and now you LOL.

I am a night hawk and tend to hit my bed around 1 or 2 on work nights, most people think I work to hard haha and should take some time off.

Anyway I am glad to meet you and I think we are all going to have fun in this great group.

Tana

Haha Tana I have no problem answering your future questions. I'm glad you guys are apart of our group and yes lots of fun to come!

I just bought my kindle touch a few weeks ago and love it also! I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I still will always prefer printed books over ebooks unfortunately. But the kindle makes it easy to carry around my books in my purse because it's light and I get to read books that are only available in e format. So yeah it's pretty awesome.

I live in a town of 5000 people and we don't have one bookstore here. So I excited when I was on the net and found out I could buy books in ebook format. I also still like to own my favorite books and when I travel I buy tons of books to bring home.
