This forum is a friendly place for new members to say hello to the BookTalk.org community. We love meeting new members and hope you take a few minutes to tell us a bit about yourself.

How did you find BookTalk.org?
1. Do NOT make an introduction post if you have no intention of interacting with us If you introduce yourself you'll be greeted by BookTalk.org members. We get excited when new people join and we take our time to give them a warm welcome. But if you don't plan to respond don't introduce yourself in the first place.
2. Create your own introduction thread It is rude to make your introduction in someone else's introduction thread.
3. Use a descriptive subject line for your introduction thread A subject line shouldn't simply be "Hi" or "My Intro." Try something unique. It is always good to use your username in your intro thread title.
4. If you're an author or publisher do NOT tell us about your books in this forum We have forums specifically for suggesting books, and this is not one of them. If you spam this forum your account will either be deleted or banned.
Authors & Publishers that would like to share their books with BookTalk.org members and visitors have several options available. For maximum visibility consider advertising on BookTalk.org.
If you're brand new to forums you might want to read our FAQ page.

looking for new friends and books to read
Hey everyone, my name is Leyla and I am a 24 year old woman from Rochester, new york. I love to read, write, listen to music, play bass and guitar, spend time with my fiancee and nephew, and just have a good time. My fiancee means the world to me, without her love and support, I wouldn't be who or where I am today.
I like to read horror, suspense, mystery and fantasy books. I really don't like romance, unless there are other things going on in the story as well. I like some science fiction, depending on what the story is about. The one thing I cannot stand, no matter it's written, is anything to do with vampires. It just bores me to death.
I'm hoping to make new friends here while broadening my reading horizons as well. It's nice to meet you all

Re: looking for new friends and books to read
we can chat whenever you would like to It took me a long time to learn to play the guitar; a lot of patience, practice, and persistence. But in the end it's worth it if its's what you really want it. What are your favorite books?

Re: looking for new friends and books to read
Hello Leyla! My name is Patty and I am also a resident of upstate NY. My taste in books is quite vast and changes depending on my mood. Lately Scifi and Fantasy books have been my favorites. I've been reading the Dune Series by Frank Herbert and George RR Martin's Game of Thrones series! Both have just the right amount of action, romance, and Politics to keep me entertained!
