Latest Review: Grit & Granite by Katherine Lee Johnson

Re: Welcome to the forums!

Post by metaphysical_muse »

Hey all - it's already such a pleasure! There's nothing like connecting with people who experience a thrill at opening a new book (or ebook, as the case may be). I live on the east coast of the U.S. where I'm attending university. The further my education progresses, the more I find myself combining my enjoyment of books (philosophy, poetry, and theology in particular) with my tea & obscure word collections (one collection shrinks, the other grows the more I read).
Very very excited to interact with some of you in the near future! The fact that you're on a bibliophilic site like this means you're already a star in my mind.

Hi, I'm Glitch! I'm kind of in a book slump right now, but I'm trying to get back into it. Seemingly, Twilight is helping.

Joan Gershman wrote: 13 Feb 2023, 19:46 Hello,

I am new here. I have been an avid reader my entire life and joined in order to read and review a variety of books.

My background is in the Education Field. I was an English teacher, tutor, and Speech/language therapist. I now write for different Internet platforms.

However, I cannot find where or how to start. Where do I go to find a book to read and review?

Thank you.

Hi my name is Alex and I'm new to the online book club. I have always been a big reader and wanted to give this a shot! Very excited to see how this all turns out. But aside from being an avid reader, I am also a pre-law student in college with a lot of other hobbies.

Hello, everyone! (I am brand new to this forum, so I hope I am posting in the correct place!)
I love reading more than ... I think most activities!
Some of my favourite writers include Shirley Jackson, George Orwell, Patricia Highsmith, Tennessee Williams, Sue Townsend, Richard Yates, Alan Hollinghurst, and George Orwell.
My favourite book series include Harry Potter and the Strike & Ellacott books. Two of my favourite books of all time are Doctor Zhivago and Brideshead Revisited.
I will happily read anything from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to Bridget Jones' Diary. I usually gravitate to 20th century British and American literature, but I love to explore different genres.
I hope everyone reading this is doing well! :)

Sandra...
Hy to everyone...
Im just a reader, tried writing a few times but realized it is not easy as it seems. My ideas would need at least 500-700 pages, and I got broken a few times somewhere on that spot when I would reach 250-300 pages in my draft, so it was at least one hell of a try...

Hello everyone, I just published a translation of my second book, Its Saddest Sound, in English. I'm an avid reader, from the age of three,read all kinds of books, but preferably mystery, historical fiction and such, in English, Spanish, Swedish and my native Finnish. I'm always on a lookout for good reading and to keep up my language skills, both reading and writing. I'm currently living in Sweden.

Hello all, my name is Jason. This is my first post here, but I have had an account here for several months. I was waiting for the craziness of publishing three books and a professional life transition for my wife & I to settle down before I got more involved. That time is now.

Do not know what else to say, but hello. I am sure I will have more to say as I go through the forums more.
