Hi everyone.  I'm Teresa from Teresa's Reading Corner.  I live in Colorado and have just recently started blogging.  I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning from the more experienced bloggers.

Teresa, how do you like blogging so far?  If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!  Actually, that is a great topic - I'll add it to the forum!

Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited to have joined this community! I've been blogging for about sixteen months and love it! My blog is http://bagsbooksandbonjovi.blogspot.com/ (after three of my favorite things!).
Like Teresa, I'm in Colorado...western suburbs of Denver.
I love to read... obviously! My favorite genre is mystery. Some favorite authors are Elizabeth George, Jacqueline Winspear,  Diana Gabaldon (non mystery), Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini.
Thanks, Jennifer for hosting this community. I'm going to blog about it later.

Hi Kathy!  Welcome :)  I haven't heard of some of those authors you mention (Winspear, Muller, and Pronzini).  Sounds like I need to look them up!  I love mysteries, too!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Melissa from Mel's Books and Info.  I am a teen librarian and I love to read and write reviews for the teen books I read.  (Actually, the reviews help me remember books I've read so I can use them for recommendations at work.)  I am from Indiana and have been blogging for about 21 months, although not seriously until the last couple of months.  I have a two year old son, so my reading time is limited, but I usually try to finish one book a week.  I am so excited to be part of this group! 

Hi again! :D

My name is Kate, but I also go by Katie.  I re-located to Virginia a year and a half ago after living the previous 10 years in Oklahoma.  I work part time as a home health care companion, but am planning on going to school to become a CNA in the fall... or next spring, still working that one out.  I have a wonderful husband, Aaron, whom I usually just refer to as the Hubs in blogs or tweets.  I've been blogging at Midnight Book Girl  since October, which Dewey of the 24 Hour Readathon inspired me to start, even though I never had the pleasure of knowing her.  I love the blogging community, it's been wonderful because even though my family is here in VA, all my closest friends are still in OK.  I recently started a book club here in Richmond, so I am meeting more and more book lovers.  I don't think I've ever met a reader I didn't like!

My blog is Moonlight Book Reviews. I have been blogging for a month. I am totally in love with blogging and have found it is a great outlet for my obsession with books. I love love love to hold contests. I am wondering how you guys created such beautiful blogs? I am struggling a bit with technical difficulties almost lost my blog trying to create a three column blog. Thats when I discovered that people make test blogs, so they don't have mini heart attacks when things like that happen. I want to change my blog and design it differently, but you could say I am at a huge setback, because not only am I scared, I have no skills and the tutorials aren't making much sense. I am a sophomore in high school. I am going to England on an Exchange this summer. I am Drum Major of my High Schools Marching Band. I am a Dutch Dancer at the Tulip Time Festival which is the biggest in the world. I dance in wooden shoes. Thats it for me for now!

Hi! I'm Natalie and a stay-at-home mom to three under three... an almost three year old and 8 month old twins. I think I'm the only one so far who has a mommy blog instead of a book blog!! I LOVE reading, and I just stumbled upon this community and into a reader's nirvana :)

Can't wait to check out all your blogs!

A big welcome to Melissa, Jessica, Kate, Erika, and Natalie!!

Erika - check out the Blogging Tips discussion and ask any questions you may have about code and such.  I know some, but I am in no means an expert!!  LOL  And, yes, test blogs are a must!!!  ;)
