Use this folder to introduce yourself to your fellow convicts crime fans so we can all get to know each other first.

Hiiiii everybody! I read a pretty wide variety of things, and I definitely try to stick some sort of crime/thriller into the mix fairly regularly.

I just recently started on the Sue Grafton ABC mysteries (recently as in I've only read the first one)...and I'm really liking those so I plan to stick with them.

Welcome Allison. It will be nice to get to know you;)

yes...if the group doesn't grow a bit more I reckon we'll know each other pretty well :)

Oh no not you again!

Hehe, welcome lovely Allison.

<-----doesn't feel very welcome.

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am a bookaholic. I think I read more thriller than crime, but recently read some Sherlock Holmes and a couple others that fall into the crime genre. I really like thrillers because they keep me on the edge of my seat.

hi Rachel!

somebody should start some threads :) I'm too scared I'll put something in the wrong one.

I don't know where to out the one I'm reading. It isn't really... well. Probably in general crime.

Hello Rachel. Very pleased to make your aquaintance!

(LOL)

yay I started a thread :P

oh...and for the record, that picture is gross/hilarious.

Thanks Alli-chan...

Hi everyone! We know each other from elsewhere... but I'll introduce myself anyway.

I'm more into mysteries, than crime and thriller... does that count? Have discovered Janet Evanovich in my old age. Just read the first and had the best time. Will now have to chase down the rest. I've been wanting to read the Sue Grafton series too, but can't find them. I'm taking a trip to the UK soon, so will stock up!!

Of course mysteries count! Anything crime/mystery/thrillery counds here!

I keep hearing about this Sue Grafton author... annoyingly.

Welcome Hayes. :D

Oh, you're here already!! Great group idea, ladies. Just in time for light summer reading!

Hi, I am Fiona. Mum of 3, ages 12, 11 & 10. I have been an avid fan of reading since school.

I live in Northamptonshire, UK. My favourite authors are: Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, Kathy Reichs and loads of Crime & Thriller authors.

Hope to chat soon xx

Fiona, how did you know I was looking for a great mystery/thriller group to join!? I just joined a "cozy mysteries" group a few days ago, but I'm not sure it is going to fit the bill for me. So I was THRILLED to read your post about this group! (Pun intended. :)

Hi, everyone. I know Fiona from the Wild Things YA group, and I see a few other familiar faces here as well! I love mysteries although I haven't read as many of them since I became a children's librarian. I also love children's/YA literature, so it's okay, but sometimes I just miss immersing myself in a great mystery! That's when I run to my public library and head for the mystery section. Some of my favorite mystery authors are Dick Francis, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Gilman, and Anne George. I've also recently started reading Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity series and Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.

I heard about Aunt Dimity just a few weeks ago. Can't wait to read those too!

Well, you see I can read people's minds...

And I don't think the other crime forums were really that active... I'm hoping this one will be a bit more so.

I've read the first four so far, and loved the first and fourth one. I thought the second and third ones were okay, but still important to read. Reading them in order is best since they build upon each other as far as what is happening in the main character's lives.

I'm a real stickler for reading in order. I can't find A is for Alibi, so I won't start the Grafton series!!

Hello everyone. I am so glad people are here!!

Hi Kandice!

I read "A" and then reluctantly moved on to "C" when my library didn't have "B." I could tell there were things I missed by not having read "B" so I stopped and have never read any more of them.

Hi Everyone! I'm kind of new to the crime and thriller genre so it's nice to have a group that will point me in the right direction. Looking forward to chatting with everyone. :-)

OK, So I seem to know just about everyone here... Luann, nice to see you here as well, Im used to only seeing you over at the Lost group ;)

Need I say I am the moderator of TNBBC, mother of 2 boys, crazily addicted to reading, but even more so to BUYING books?????!!!!

I am always on the lookout for library sales (which I have found TWO in my neck of the woods over the next two weeks! Eeeek!)

Nice to see everyone.
I dont dabble much in Crime or Mystery, BUT... I will be browsing around to hopefully find some new books to pick up!

THanks for invite ladies!

Welcome to TCAT (T-Cat?) group Lori. I think we should roll out the red carpet!

Oh gosh no! Don't be silly :)

Hello everyone. You are all so welcome!


Huge, huge welcome to the best Mod in the world!!! (Fiona and I have been trying to pay attention!)

Trying to pay attention to what? Hopefully not me!

I think its great that you ladies are creating groups for yourselves. You do such an excellent job over at TNBBC, helping keep the peace and of course discussing away all day....

It sure is going to get quiet over there now that the top most posters are running their own forums (Sigh) Somehow, I will have to learn to make due....

(JK!)

Nothing could beat TNBBC we shall always be there, somewhere... beating up spammers with sticks.

Hee hee... good to know you still got my back!

Yeah! Spammers are sooooo much fun. Just wait 'til we get one of our own.

Yeah! We'll have to send them to the electric chair!

Can we make one?

Maybe we'll have to order once in, just in case lol.

If we get a spammer, you know how Lori has the Spammer's circle in Hell, well we could have a folder called The Electric Chair!

Where by after 3 days on death row they will be deleted and banned for good.

Hey all... thanks for inviting me, Fiona! I look forward to joining in on some of the discussions and hearing everyone's views!! My sister used to love Agatha Christie novels and I read a few of them and loved them, but haven't read much since, so I look forward to getting some reccomendations.

Hello, and welcome Linda Grace!

:) Thanks Kandice. Great work with the group discription! I've been wanting to read more books like this and look forward to hearing what's good.

Hooray! The more the merrier, although a lot of these books I read a long time ago, so will be discussing using my memories.

haha it's all good. Maybe time for some re-reads?

Hmmm... I see that this group has been in existence for 10 days and I have only today received an invite. I feel like a 5th wheel... You're not planning on bumping me off, or maybe using me as your patsy are you?? O_o

All that silliness aside --well, MOSTLY, anyway *wonders if my invitation was lost in the mail for 10 days* ;)--, I like crime, thrillers, mysteries, suspense, courtroom drama etc. I haven't been reading a lot of that lately, as I've been reading a lot of fantasy but that will change soonish, I'm guessing.

Actually, I take that back, I read And Then There Were None the day before yesterday. It was fantabulous. :)

Hello, everyone! I'm glad you've started this group, as I enjoy mysteries, but I think I need some assistance in finding the right ones. : ) My favorites are Evanovich's Plum series, and Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series is pretty good, too. I recently read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and I think this may be another series I will be following. I suppose Lisa Lutz's Spellman series would be considered mystery, too, and these are among my favorite books. I'm looking forward to reading some classic mysteries in the near future, as well.

Well K and I didn't open it to the public until TODAY mrs.

But... I'm not the public... :(

I know you guys are going to bump me off. I just know it.

Can you at least make it quick and painless? And can I tell my family I love them first? ;)
