    WOOT WOOT MY PEOPLE!

    I'm Alice. 26 years old and maniac bookworm. I am a HUGE horror fan, devour anything I can put my hands on.
    I've started quite the collection couple of years ago, I hunt down the most disturbing, gore and terrifying books ever written. So my libraries are getting quite interesting.... and I usually get a lot of questionning looks from people who walk into my house for the first time and see my book collection :blush:

    Hi! I'm Sarah and I love speculative fiction, particularly from the 70's. I also love the funny books with all the kooky draw-rings!

    Realizing that I forgot to post an intro. I'm Clare and I read a ton. I read newspapers, articles, trashy books, science books, novels...everything. I need there to be a booky thread on here that's active so I'm hitting up anyone who's been on here recently to get it started. Please forgive all my thread posting. I'm just trying to chum the waters. I'll calm down soon :smile:

    Hi I'm Jess and I have always loved to read. I like all sorts of genres but mostly fiction or history. My favourite genres are historical fiction, fantasy and thriller. I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter series for the 20th anniversary and also reading King' s Cafe by Victoria Aveyard which I'm really enjoying.

    Hi, I'm new here, and I love to read. I'm a romance (all romances such as: modern, historical, sci-if, fantasy, and paranormal) junky. lol I'm currently reading the 4th (last book) in the Bourbon Street Boys series called Wrong Direction, Right Turn. Very good, but now I'm craving a good historical romance...

    Hi everyone, just found and joined this group. I'm currently reading Harry Potter again for the millionth time but for the first time in years and absolutely loving it. I love reading mysteries, true crime, memoirs, and pretty much anything really. Favorite authors are Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, David Sedaris, and Ann Rule. I'm always open to MFP friends if anyone wants to add me!

    I'm Wes. I haven't been reading like I used to mainly because all the local used book stores are gone so cheap used books are drying up. I read trade paperback reissues of comics from the 70s and 80s, cold war post apocalyptic books, pre-1990s scifi when it was at its best, and generally anything that gets my eye. Right now I'm reading Failsafe from 1962 which got turned into a movie not long after being printed but after it was filmed due to a lawsuit from the makers of Dr Strangelove.

    Hey everyone! I'm in my late 20s, office worker, married, childfree with one floofy cat! I fell back into love with reading last summer and I've been a crazy reading machine ever since. My current book is "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k" by Mark Manson. Typically, I read crime/mystery, fantasy, thriller etc.

    As for MFP... My first goal is to eat healthier and expand my diet. I'm hoping that combined with making efforts to get up and move more often will result in losing 15-20 lbs.

    Greetings, gentle readers. I'm known as LadyCalico on Sparkpeople book groups and Goodreads, but MFP said that screenname was already used, so I had to change it a bit. With Sparkpeople closing there may be people from my old groups moving over here. I will be posting regularly and hope others join me. My mission is to seek out and recommend the best books out there.

    Hi, I am Doug, also a refugee from Sparkpeople. But as the late, great Tom Petty said in his song, "You don't have to live like a refugee." As I learn the ropes here, I hope to see more users join this group from Spark and maybe not from Spark, seems like the forum is kind of slow, but also the largest group here dedicated to readers. There were several book-related groups on Spark, one with 167,000 members. Let's get this group going again!

    Today I was not on MFP or reading, I was gardening among other things in my spare time and did not bring an audiobook for most of that. I try to keep much of my reading as "immersion reading" with an audio companion to a print or e-book, it helps my concentration and memory.

    I'm aiming to finish book #69 of the year for me. I know this is not a race, I am certainly not going to win a reading contest listening to audiobooks at normal speed, but I was curious as to how many books others read in a year? I know the national average here in the US is 12, being an inflated number by folks like me, and the most common answer is a pitiful 4. How do you "stack up"?
