Welcome Back Cassie
Hey Xeey! Glad you are wanting to be more active in the group... We will love getting to know you... Give a shout out with any questions!
Hello to all our new members... If you have any questions just shout out!
Hi all! I'm Carrie. I'm from PA. I actually joined the group back in 2021 but I guess I must have never introduced myself to the group at the time! So here I am now 😊
My favorite genres are mystery, thriller, horror and nordic noir but I'll read just about anything.
I am married with 1 daughter. I have 1 dog ( a 15 year old Westie) and currently 5 cats (2 of which are fosters). I love watching football and I'm a big Steelers fan.
I enjoy traveling and was fortunate to have lived in Italy for 3 years while my husband was in the military. I worked on base as a travel agent so traveling to new destinations was part of my job!
I enjoy this group so much and I'm glad to be part of it!! Looking forward to reading and sharing with you all.
Welcome Carrie, I also love Football and Baseball. I cheer for the The Packers and K.C .Chiefs. The Brewers for Baseball.
I would have passed in happy ignorance of this group if it weren't for Erin & Robin. Now I have to check out more challenges... Can I squeeze another one in?
My Pittsburgh buddy!!! Thanks for checking in Carrie... Sounds like you have a very busy, full, and fabulous life... So glad you are in this group!

Hi Carrie and Casalive welcome to the group
Welcome Carrie and Catsalive!
Hi All!!I joined the group a few weeks ago but I failed to do an introduction!
My name is Robin from Middle TN. I live just south of Nashville. I am the mother of 2 grown sons ages 29 and 33. I have 2 grandsons ages 4(soon 5) and 6. I also have 2 step granddaughters ages 8 and 15(half sisters to my grandsons).
Currently I don't have any furbabies, but have 2 granddogs that I keep from time to time. One is a female American Bully and the other one is a male but not sure of his breed 🤦♀ I am an animal lover.
As far as favorite genres--I will read just about anything for a challenge--I like Historical, Mystery, Fiction, YA, LGBTQ+, Juvenile/Middle Grade. I also tend to love books written in epistolary/diary formats or novels in verse. I love challenges and will typically jump in all of them!
Besides books/reading, I enjoy gardening, crafts, crocheting, playing games(board and computer).
I typically don't watch tv as I prefer to listen to an audiobook. I mainly listen to audiobooks or read physical books. I have tablets/ereaders but rarely read ebooks.
I look forward to reading and participating in challenges with all of you!

Hello everyone! I'm not really new to the group but I've been away for a few years. I wasn't reading much anymore and needed a break from online stuff.I'm really excited to get back into reading and being a member of this amazing group again. I've always loved it here and feel so bad for disappearing but I'm ready to participate again :)
It might take me a while to get used to things without Dee...

I just stumbled onto this group, and it already looks very interesting. I've written several books and comics over the years, mostly dealing in horror and the supernatural. Four of those books concern the adventures of a certain king of the vampires. I'm also a reader, and I love to see the latest and greatest in the genre. Thanks for letting me be a part of your group.

Hey Kathleen, so glad you are here with us... You are definitely in the right place for recommendations... Love the current series you are reading... Along those same lines I would recommend
by Ilona Andrews (Now I will say that for many of us it took getting to about book 3 to get completely hooked, but trust me when I tell you that it is so worth it, Great series!!)... Patricia Briggs has another series called Alpha and Omega... There is some crossover between that series and Mercy Thompson; both are fantastic... the first book in that series is
... We also have a recommendation folder that is categorized by supernatural if you want to check those out:)
You’re going to enjoy yourself. There are challenges, book recommendations, games and so much more. Look around and sing out if you need assistance.
You are very welcome Kathleen... Hope you enjoy them!
Welcome to all of our new group members... If anyone has questions just give a shout out!
Residing in Blackpool, England, I've authored over 70 books. I'm also a passionate collector of celebrity autographs.
As a staunch advocate for LGBTQ rights, I incorporate this theme into my work.
My pen name honours the acting icons Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and I encourage my readers to explore their extensive filmography. Despite some less-than-stellar movies, their commitment never wavered.
My interests span supernatural folklore and enigmatic mysteries, including alien abductions and the Loch Ness Monster.
Shows like Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer captivate me and fuel my creativity.

Hello everyone. I love vampire books, so no surprise, I ended up here.
You are definitely in the right place Emily... Have a look around and give a shout out with any questions! Welcome!
Hi everyone, I live in Indiana and I am new to Goodreads groups overall. I love vampires and thought this group looked interesting. My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, horror/thriller, and mystery. One book I read last year that I absolutely loved was Bride by Ali Hazelwood. Currently we are experiencing a lot of snow, and I am reading Ruthless Vows (a wartime romantasy) and re-reading Fourth Wing for book club. (Dragons are another obsession for me!). I hope to make friends and read more this year! :)
Welcome Emily and Nina!
Hi, everyone! My name is Beverly and I've been a member of this group for about year (about the same time I started to really use Goodreads), but am just now getting used to interacting in groups. I love all things paranormal/supernatural and that is my favorite genre! My top three favorite authors are probably Gena Showalter, Suzanne Wright, and G.A. Aiken/Shelly Laurenston. Looking forward to getting to know this group better!
Welcome everyone! We are so glad you are here... We look forward to getting to know you... Nina, I am reading Fourth Wing in the near future and I am so excited! Love Rebecca Yarros books! Love, Love, Love your Goodreads name BooksLoveBrains! So glad you are both here... Have a look around and give a shout out with any questions... We just transitioned to all the 2025 reading challenges... Jump in anywhere you like!
Hi Ashley It's a blast hope you enjoy
