Hello everyone! My name is Rebekah and I am a readaholic! My husband has given up trying to have a conversation with me when I have a book in my hand because I won't hear a single thing he says. Depending on my mood, I will read anything and everything. I just finished a book by Thomas Sniegoski called The Fallen 1. There are two more books and I can't wait to get to the library to start the next one. Unfortunately, that means I don't currently have anything to read at the moment and it's already driving me crazy.1

So glad I am not the only one this happens to! He can't seem to understand that when I am reading, I am there in that book. Nothing he says or anything that is said on the radio do I understand. My mind completely tunes it all out!0 -
Hey! I'm cindy and I LOVE to read. Have been an avid reader ever since I learned to read. I even read labels when I'm sitting at a restaurant and bored. If it has words, I will at least try to read it. My fave authors are Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, John Sanford and Christopher Paolini. I live fantasy, not sci fi, suspense, romance, historical romance, some biographies. If it sounds interesting to me then there is a good chance that if given the opportunity I will pick it up and read it.1

I'm Anne - loving this group! I've read your intros and will be picking up some of the books you've mentioned
Will read anything and everything, currently reading young adult fantasy - The Golden Acorn.
Favorite Author - Stephen King.
Generally read faster than others so hard to join a book club or something of that sort - I cant stop once I start!0 -
Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm lovin this group already! I LOVE to read. I usually have an audio book going as well as something either on my phone/computer or traditional book. I do try to limit it to two book and I try to keep the genres diff so I don't confuse. I love romance, and chick lit! I love suspense and westerns. I love pretty much anything but thrillers. I'm not that big into those. I also like a good personal development book. I just started reading those this year. I've been counting my books i've read since Jan 1. and I'm on like book 106. Oh wait, just finished one. Make it 107! I love a good long series. I'm looking forward to getting tons of suggestions from this group! Feel free to add me as a friend! I could use some motivation too!0

I am Peggy and at 3 years old I picked up **** and Jane and haven't stopped the joy of reading yet. I'm currently reading Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, and several other books. My day never ends without me reading before I can peacefully go to sleep.0

Hey I'm Heather and a book nerd! I actually run a bookclub called NOA in Minneapolis. NOA stands for Not Oprah Approved! I started it after every book club I'd join would eventually start reading only books that you could find on Oprah's list. It drove me nuts!
I love fiction, sci-fi, thrillers, some chick-lit, dirty memoirs. I just finished "Before I Go To Sleep" by S.J. Watson. It was pretty good. Reminded me of the movie Memento0 -

Hello,
I'm Porsche. I usually read two books a week. I'm recently married and use books as away to escape life. With Lora leigh, brenda Jackson, or Loral K. Hamilton I can always pretend to be someone else for a few hours.:happy:0 -
Hello! My name is Emily and I have been struggling to lose weight for nearly 4 years. I joined MFP on the advise of a freind who successfully lost 40 lbs using this site and has kep her weight loss goals for nearly 3 years! I would love to make some new friends and talk books, exercise and healty living!
I am reading two books right now, The Hunger Games and Steve Jobs. I have to say that I am really impressed with The Hunger Games which exists in a genre I rarely visit. The Steve Jobs biolgraphy is a fascinating read into the mind of one of the most innovative people in history. After I finish these two books I am starting on a Carl Hiason book called Scat - love his books.0 -
Hello everyone. I also love reading...wierd I know. My love of reading really started around the age of 14. I was grounded the whole summer for running away from home. So I read a lot that summer. I remember Sweet Valley High Twins mostly. I work in security, so when I'm not watching a camera or posted somewhere, I'm reading. Then I also love listening to books on cd on the way to work. But I'm pretty fussy about the books on cd, if they don't have a good voice, it's a no-go.
I keep track of all the books I've read or want to read on my B&N library account. Just finished Backseat Saints by: Joshiyn Jackson and The Sweetest Thing by: Elizabeth Musser. Both were very good.0 -
I'm Justine and am currently reading... well... nothing, which is sad. I am currently trying to write two books, though, which is quite a pain in my behind.
I usually go for sci-fi/fantasy, but recently haven't been able to get into the fantasy frame of mind.
I am writing a book as well! I started last summer and am just now getting to the climax. I guess I thought once I sat down and started writing, the words would just ooze out if me. Boy was I wrong!0 -
Hello all! Im not new to MFP but new to the boards and such. I've been using the app for awhile but need some motivation real bad so here I am. Currently reading a werewolf romance on my iPhone I got for free (go iBooks) and Gena Showalter. My faves are anything my Sherrilyn Kenyon, Tess Gerritson. Pretty much paranormal romance and fantasy but I love trying new genres so please feel free to share.0

Hey everyone, I'm Amy, but most call me Dot.
I love, love, LOVE to read!! I'm mostly into fantasy/urban fantasy, but I'll read just about everything (fiction, I'm not really a non-fiction girl, but if something is really good, I'm down.) I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, but I do read some.
I'm currently reading Soulless--it's a vampire book set in Victorian times and A Red Herring Without Mustard. Usually, I read series: Dresden, Anita Blake, Hallows, Mercy Thompson, Greywalker, Kushiel's Dart, etc. because I can't stand not knowing what happens to characters after the book is over. :laugh: I'm also a huge Stephen King fan--I own most of his books, but my prized possessions are the hard-bound Dark Towers books that my ex bought me for Christmas several years ago.
I teach middle school language arts, so I do read a ton of YA stuff as well--so I can recommend books to my students.
I'm on Goodreads.com, and I love to get book recs from there as well.
Yay for books!0 -

Dot - I am a fellow SK fan! I also have Dark Towers in Hard Cover LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! And have read several times...
I am currently reading Dresdon Files - good, but nothing like DT Series.0 -
Hello, I'm Amy and I a major book nerd. I have about 5 boxes of books waiting to be read-everything from Margaret Mitchell to Augusten Burroughs to Stephen King. I have slowed down on getting through those boxes because my boss gave me a Nook recently and I am addicted to it. I always said I would never go the way of the ereader but once I had one I was hooked. I am currently reading Storm of Swords but I just might give up on this series. My absolute favorite book ever is Life of Pi.0
