My name is Donna. I am the small town turned city girl in PA. I am a stay-at-home mom. My youngest is in his last year of cyber school. I have 2 cats who snuggle with me while I read anything I can get my hands on. I prefer fiction usually fantasy or science fiction but I will read anything.

Other than reading, I love to go hiking, geocaching, go on Let's Roam scavenger hunts around the city and just try new things. My husband thinks I am nuts because I am always up to try anything once. Shooting zombies with my best friend, my husband and my youngest son this year was a blast! Not sure my husband will go again...he felt sorry for the zombies.

I started moderating on Goodreads in 2020. I have created many challenges such as A God's Life and Listopia Madness. I am so excited to bring some of that madness, I mean joy here to LibraryThing.

Hello! I’m Amanda and I am a Jersey Girl, a slight wild child with hobbies and a passion for reading, geocaching, traveling, crocheting, adventures and travel. My hobbies have taken me through various experiences, each shaping who I am today.

I’ve always been fascinated by culture and travel and try to do as much of it as I can. When we vacation we don't vacation like regular people. We do more activities on travel then we do when we are at home. We did a 16 port 17 day cruise this year and it was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. We love immersing ourselves into the culture and learning about other peoples lives. I enjoy trying new crochet projects while listening to audiobooks.

When I’m not working, crocheting, or reading, you can find me hiking with my pup where I like to give him all of the adventures of doggo could ever ask for. I believe that life is best lived with curiosity and kindness, and I'm always seeking out new experiences and connections. "Life is short, spend the money, take the time and make the memories because tomorrow is never promised."

I work full time and just recently went back to school to get my BA in Business Administration because I am still trying to figure out what i want to do when i grow up.

I thrive when collaborating with others and sharing ideas. I’m excited to connect, share stories, and embark on new adventures together!

Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you!

Hey! I'm Angie and I'm coming to you from East Tennessee. Yep, I'm a country girl. While I live around the mountains and think they are beautiful, I also love the beach! I love to travel and explore new places but I'm also a bit of a loner. Lol - yes, I realize that I'm a bit of a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma.

I work for a large company doing General Ledger/Accounting and get to work from home (exclusively since Covid). I am happy to end my work day with a book, a movie, or a TV show while snuggled up in a blanket. Mystery, suspense/thriller, and paranormal being my favorite genres. I will read anything fiction and some non-fiction if it is for a reading challenge or "extra points" for challenges. I love movies almost as much as books and my favorite thing about going to a theater for a new movie is getting to have warm, buttered popcorn!! I had a friend once tell me if it was a weird tv show, that I'd be the one to love it.

I started moderating and creating reading challenges on Goodreads in 2017. I'm looking forward to expanding my love of all things reading to LibraryThing! Who knows, if you haven't grown addicted to challenges yet, maybe I can help hook you! 😂

Hello everyone! I’m Ashley, and I’m thrilled to be one of the admins here. I’m 39 years old and live in Alabama.

A Little About Me
You’ll often find me diving into a good book—my tastes are pretty varied, but I have a soft spot for fantasy and romance. I also enjoy memoirs and historical fiction, so if you have any recommendations, send them my way!

My Passion for Pets
In addition to my love for reading, I run a family-centric business focused on our furry companions. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t imagine life without my four-legged friends by my side.

Breaking Stereotypes
While I may be rooted in the South, I like to think I defy the typical "Southern belle" stereotype. I embrace my individuality and love sharing my unique perspective with all of you.

Simple Pleasures
When I'm not busy with work or reading, you can often find me enjoying a glass of wine or savoring a cup of coffee. These little moments are what keep me grounded!

I’m excited to connect with all of you and contribute to our amazing community. Let’s share our stories, interests, and love for books together!

Cheers,
Ashley 🌟
