korrie Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi all, I just joined. I'm a 27 year old stay-at-home mother of 2 who LOVES to read. I have to admit I'm feeling a bit out of my element on this forum. I've been looking around and have seen few book titles or authors that I know or recognize. I'm from the US. I have to devote some time to looking around this site more I guess. I would love to meet some new people. Especially some who share my love of reading. I look forward to meeting u!

LittleLijah Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi korrie and welcome to the site. It's a really friendly place and meeting people who share your love of books and reading won't be a problem in the slightest. Looking forward to hearing more about your favourites.

jenmck Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I know what you mean Korrie. There are so many different books I haven't read!!! The thing I love about this place is it doesn't matter WHAT you read. I read everything from Harlequin Intrigue romances to World History (for fun. This the only place that didn't think that was weird). It has increased my To Be Read pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icecream Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Korie. I'm a stay at home mum too, 23 and will have two children in the spring. My baby girl is 7 months old. This is a great forum. Enjoy. What books/authors do you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hello, and to the forum, Korrie. I think you'll find the members here have a very wide range of reading preferences - everything from romances to Westerns, to thrillers, chillers and horrors, to chick lit, classics and histories - I think we've pretty much got it ALL covered! So, whatever you're reading, I think you'll find there's someone else interested in it too - we're pretty eclectic. Looking forward to hearing all about your favourite books and authors!

korrie Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi u guys and thank u so much for the warm welcomes. I feel better already. I have to ask, many of u mentioned about my fav. books/authors. Where do I put that info? Do I start a thread in "Reading Lists/Blogs" and just talk about my favorite genre, authors, titles, etc.? I'm not totally new to being on forums but every one is so different. Once again, thank u for making me feel welcome. I hope to talk to u all again soon!

Icecream Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 You ca start your own reading list in there if you want. Many of us use that as a way of keeping track of what we are reading and writing reviews or talking about each others books, or you can just write a post here about a few authors you like.

korrie Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thank u IceCream. Well, I like mostly fiction and some of my favorite authors are: Beverly Lewis (Amish Fiction), Mitch Albom, I recently read Middlesex by Eugene Stephenides (spelling?) and The Red Tent. More recently though, I've fallen hard for paranormal romance. I actually bought Twilight by Stephenie Meyer by accident, not realizing it was a vampire romance. But, I'm so glad I gave it a chance! I've since read all three in that series. I love Stephenie Meyer, J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood Series) and L.J. Smith. Currently, I'm reading Night's Touch by Amanda Ashley. I've gotten my older sister addicted to the genre as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathleenMacIver Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Korrie! I'm a US stay-at-home mom, too, and I'm reletively new here. There aren't very many authors here that I recognize either, but I think it's because of the sheer number of books that are out there! Anyway... I'm an unwilling Floridian, wanting to move to PA if God ever sees fit to make this dream a reality. (Where in PA do you live?) I'm also an aspiring author, trying to polish my first finished manuscript. As for your list of authors... the only one I recognize is Beverly Lewis. If you like paranormal romance, there's a LOT out there, so you've got lots of reading ahead of you! Me... I like historical romance and time travel... Lynn Kurland (who also writes some paranormal, such as Stardust of Yesterday) is my favorite author. Nice meeting you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renniemist Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Korrie! Glad you could join us. Middlesex is one of my favourite books and I recently bought the Red Tent and I am looking forward to reading it. It is always interesting to see what others are reading. That is what makes this forum so good - that and the very friendly members of course. Hope you enjoy it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you will soon settle in here and get into the way of finding your way around. Hi , I found this website by mistake, and it is probably the best thing that I have done this month!!! I love reading, although I don't have as much time as I used to now that I drive to work as opposed to taking the tube (I now work locally, but used to work in town). I love historical fiction and have read all of Philippa Gregory's books on the Boleyns and Mary and Elizabeth. Am also a lover of classic English Literature and some modern authors. I am always open to recommendations, so please, if you can recommend anything I would love to hear from you. A nervous, but happy new member, Kirsty.

I can't imagine wanting to move from FL to here but I guess thats cuz I've been here all my life. Congrats on the manuscript!! What an accomplishment! I've never heard of the Lynn Kurland but maybe I'll look into her stuff. I'm really finding that I love the paranormal romance genre. Thanks for your warm welcome and I look forward to talking to u again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
