Welcome! We would love to get to know you, please list your name, where you are from, and what genres you like to read.

Alondra; originally from a Chicago suburb called Evanston. I love to read everything, except Romance.

I didn’t know that, Alondra. My dad was born in Evanston, Illinois.

Yyaaaayyy! That is so awesome!! It has changed so much; but for the better. I haven't been back in about 5 years; after my mom moved to MS.

Hi, I'm Bill, a military brat and also served in the military so traveled a lot. Now retired and living on the West Coast of Canada. Love all genres, probably except romance....

Is that where you are now?

Huh, Alondra, my brother lived in Evanston at one time too! I fear we are in great danger of having a six degrees from Evanston situation here!

Lol!!

No, Bill. I moved away when I joined the military, as well. I haven't lived there since I was 20. LOL

That is so wild! Well, Evanston is pretty popular. It is not as expensive as Wilmette and those further North. It is close to all the rail and bus lines, and still has a metropolitan feel without being ultra grungy like Chicago.

Hello,

I actually live in the Mountains of New Mexico. Most people think New Mexico is a huge desert. And some people don’t even believe we are part of the United States. Lol

I love reading mysteries, thrillers, and even the classics.

On a train ride from Madrid to Barcelona a few years ago I thought "Wow - this looks a lot like New Mexico! Early Spaniards there must've felt right at home!"

I'd say Morristown, NJ would be my hometown. Home of the Seeing Eye Foundation, so as kids we're taught never to infere with dog training. Lots of connections to New England. Florida this year after two decades in the northwest.

Mostly read nonfiction, mysteries, and my favorite: travel essay/literature/narrative. Some fiction (novels) but not a lot.

Hey John! I love Florida weather.... without the hurricanes, though. LOL

Hi, I'm Tone from Oslo, Norway.
I read many different kinds of books, mostly literary fiction and mystery/thrillers, not fantasy, romance or self-help books. I'm always on the look-out for new authors, and would be grateful for recommendations from fellow members.

Hey Tone! Glad you made it over.

Mystery/Thrillers - Knots and Crosses. The first in the Inspector Rebus series. I haven't read it in a while; but I love it.

Also, The Keeper of Lost Causes, which is one of my absolute favorites.

Welcome everyone! Nice to see you here.

Hi - I am Lance - born and raised in Minneapolis, MN and have lived in upstate NY (near Albany) for the last 25 years. I read almost exclusively non-fiction. Most of that is either sports, current events or healthcare. Will occasionally dabble into psychological thrillers or a mystery when a fictional read is desired.

Thanks, Alondra. I'll check out these books.

Hi, I’m Beckee from Salt Lake City, Utah.
I tend to read Historical Fiction, Historical Romance, Romance, Fiction. I’ll try any book recommendations to see if I like it. I’ve found books I would have never picked up otherwise.

Loved Rebecca LOL; The Alienist and Mistress of the Art of Death

Hello All! My name is Kim and I'm originally from Laurinburg, NC. Due to military family, we moved all over the place. Currently, I live in Knob Noster, MO.

My favorite genres are sci-fi, historical fiction, contemporary, and a ton of YA since I teach teenagers. I'm a huge audiobook fan and will listen to anything with a great narrator!

Hi, I'm Jackie from Sugar Land, Texas. I'm originally from Kentucky but I've lived in Texas longer than in Kentucky.

I enjoy mysteries, fiction, historical fiction, memoirs, thrillers, nonfiction, and oddly enough cookbooks (I don't cook very often)!

Hey, Jackie. Cookbooks are great to look at... that's all I'm saying...

Alondra, I especially enjoy the ones with lots of photos that have a story relating to the recipes.

Hey all! I am Alissa, I'm originally from Buffalo NY but have lived in Tampa FL for the past 3 years with my hubby, two girls, dog & cat.

I love to read historical fiction, nonfiction/memoirs, horror, mystery/thriller, adult contemporary, chick lit, true crime. I will divulge in YA and sci fi but I have to be in the mood for them =)

I am a book enabler and proud of it.

Jackie wrote: "Alondra, I especially enjoy the ones with lots of photos that have a story relating to the recipes."

Yes. Like, how do I know I like it if I can't see the picture. I am too picky to go by words alone. That's why I like Chef's who use YT and Instagram. I get to see everything

Hey, y'all! I'm Martha. I am from the deep south, but have lived in the midwest for over 40 years. I have a military background, too. Dad was career Army & I married a career Army guy. I haven't lived too many places as my father left when I was young & Jerry had only 8 years left when I met him. I now live in the house his parents built with our oldest son who is developmentally disabled. We are very involved in Special Olympics & are thrilled it has started up again. Hope we don't have to go back, but cases appear to be ramping up again in our area.

I love mysteries, historical fiction, horror, non-fiction .... almost anything because a good story is a good story ... genre doesn't matter so much to me in the end. I also love to crochet and that is when I watch (listen to) tv shows.

Welcome to the group everybody. I hope you find this place welcoming and filled with great book ideas.

Hi, I'm Amanda from Sand Springs, Oklahoma (near Tulsa), and I like to read everything.

Hi everyone! I’m Pam from Albuquerque, New Mexico. My favorite genres are literary fiction, sci-fi, classics, historical fiction, and non-fiction.

Wow, glad to "see" so many new & familiar faces here! I'm Jennifer, I live in north central Florida, and I read just about everything other than sci-fi and fantasy.

I am Denise and I currently reside in Nampa, ID. I am originally from Texas and moved to Ketchikan, Alaska because my father served in the USCG. I lived in Alaska for 18 years before moving to Idaho. I have always loved reading from a very early age. Some of my favorite authors are James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, Stephanie Meyer, John Grisham, Nicholas Sparks, Elin Hilderbrand, Alice Hoffman, and Anne Rice (who I actually met and toured her mansion in New Orleans).

Hey guys!! I am so glad you are here. I really mean that. 💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰

Hi, everyone! I usually go by Pat but I guess I signed up as Patricia on here. Either/or. I'm originally from TN, but moved around a lot while growing up. My husband & I met in Philadelphia but have lived in NC for over 30 years.
I read all across the board but mostly Historical fiction, mysteries, & fantasy. I think I read more mysteries than anything, but making a list of my favorite reads the past year for an upcoming blog post, I was kind of surprised they were mostly HF.

Welcome, Patricia. :0)

Hi everyone, I'm Carolyn, originally from Scotland, emigrated to Australia with my parents when I was 12 and now live in Sydney.
I read most genres (contemporary fiction, crime and thrillers, scifi, some fantasy, historical fiction, some non-fiction) except for erotica and horror. I retired recently so have lots of time for reading and all the other things I like to do.
