[Ladymcbeth]

Hello
I'm Lady mc Beth, i'm 36 and i'm from France (south).
I love reading fantasy and paranormal romance ... especially if there are werewolves inside.
I began to read in english because most of the books are in english and not translated ... but it's great because i can increase my vocabulary ^^

So i'm very happy to have found goodreads, and i'm happy to be here with you.

[Titta]

Hi everyone!

I'm Titta from Finland and I just love to read paranormal romance! It's my last spring at senior high school and I should be getting ready for my matriculation exams, but sometimes the book changes to a fiction. :D I started to read paranormal romance just recently so I haven't read many yet, but I have a long list of books to read. :) I am looking for friends to talk about books and find new books to read.

I do write, but I have no plans to release anything until the end of the year or beginning of next year. What I really want are book recommendations in the urban fantasy genre. My Fav!!! I also read paranormal romance and young adult, though urban fantasy is my one true love.

I do make time to read whenever I can so I always have a book handy or access to my eReader. I love reading just about anything except for Non-Fiction. I can't really get into that.

[Adriatika]

Hello everybody :)

My name is Lauren. I'm 19, I live in Ohio, I'm a freshman in college, and I love to read and collect books.

Lately, I've been reading a lot of YA, but I LOVE urban fantasy. Some of my fav UF books are The Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong, the Georgina Kincaid series and Dark Swan series by Richelle Mead, the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs, and the Kitty Norville series and Discord's Apple by Carrie Vaughn.

I have to admit, I haven't really read any paranormal romance (I don't think...) but this group sounded really fun, and a great place for some good recommendations :)

[Jen]

Hi! I'm Jen, 34 year-old mom of two. (My little girl is 7; my son is 5.) My husband was my high school sweetheart and he has followed me around, moving with me from our hometown of New Orleans, to follow the fickle tv news business that I work in. We've been in the Jackson, MS, area for nine years now... close enough that we can visit NOLA every few weeks. --I'm a news producer, which is fun work, most days.

I love, love, love to read. And I read very fast... sometimes I struggle to slow it down. But my eyes are hungry for the page! I generally go for Urban Fantasy & Paranormal Romance (but some historicals sneak in now and then.) Among my favorite authors are Kresley Cole, Karen Marie Moning, Gena Showalter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Patty Briggs, Charlaine Harris, and JR Ward. But I am always trying new authors.

I'm here to make book-friends, because I love to talk about the books and characters I tend to get attached to!

Amanda wrote: "Are faeries really interesting to read about ?"

I have only read one series that include fairies: The Wicked Lovely seiries.
I was surprised at how good the books were, actually. I really don't think that Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy are all that different, really. I was under the impression that paranormal meant mind-reading, time traveling, psychic stuff, etc... Urban fantasy usually means that is set in our world and the main character usually finds out about other non-human's living among them (i.e. vampires... werewolves...fairies...mutants...etc.) Usually the main charatcer falls in love with one of those non-humans.

[Jeanine]

Hello... My name is Jeanine.
I am a 26 year old mother of three. Yes you heard me right, I have three kids and I am only 26, 27 next month, actually. My husband and I have been married for eight years and together for 13. Yes, all three of my kids are his, no matter how many times I've claimed they were the product of love between me and Mathew McConahey, sometimes I stake claims on Rob Pattinson, but only when he's at his hottest ;)
Anyway, I love to read Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. I love reading so much that I decided to write my own book in hopes that I could provide for others what so many authors have provided for me: an escape. I am currently in the process of editing and revising my novel... Yea!

[Shawn]

Hi everyone, my name is Shawn. I'm a single mother of 3 for the past 15 years. I am a service manager for a heating and air conditioning co. I LOVE to read, at 17 yrs old my first book love affair was with Danielle Steele. I have been addicted every since. I like many genres but in the last several years PNR has won hands down. Some of my favs are Black Dagger Brotherhood, The Hollows, Keri Arthur's Guardian Series, Dark Hunter, I could read Acheson over and over. I'm currently finishing the Highlander series by Karen Marie Mining and then on to Outlander.

[Yz the Whyz]

Welcome to all new members. Hope you'll enjoy hanging out in our group.

[Sillylittlefishey]

Welcome, Shawn! It sounds like you have your hands full! I love black dagger...and I can't wait for the new one:) And I'm working on the Hollows....I've only got the first 3 done.

Thank you. You are in for a treat. Rachel evolves into quite the heroine. The books are incredible right down to Pale Demon. The ending left me hating the next 6~8 months of waiting for the next book.

So at the rate I'm going the next one will be out by the time I get to it:) I guess that's the good thing about reading several series' at the same time.

[S.J.]

Hi everybody! I'm new here. I'm an author and a stay-at-home Mom with two boys (ages 4 and 16). We live in Little Elm, Texas.

I'm a huge fan of paranormal fiction and really looking forward to being a part of this group.

Graphic Design is a great thing to get into. You should focus on how to put e-book covers together. I bet you could market yourself through goodreads.

[Alma]

Hi everyone. I'm new here, too. I'm the author of The TAKER, a lit/historical with a supernatural twist. It's coming out in April in the UK with Random House, in September in the US with Simon & Schuster. I'm a late bloomer, getting my first novel published at an age when I wouldn't qualify for the "Top 20 under 40" distinction.

[Zuany]

Hi! My name is Zuany and I'm 25. I found out about goodreads 2 or 3 months ago and I'm addicted :).

I'm Dominican, so I have to order a lot of books from abroad, and one of the hardest things is to know what to read. I like fantasy, sci fi and romance; and I'm always looking for recommendations.

Welcome Zuany. Kim Harrison's Hollows series is awesome. Crimson City is a great series though based on vampires seres etc ... it is set in a post apocalyptic type environment. Gena Showalter's Atlantis series is pretty good as well. Good Luck!!!

[Jennifer]

Welcome!

[Zuany]

Thanks! I think I'll check out Crimson City after I finish the Sookie Stackhouse series. :)

Hello, everyone, I'm Ari, newly joined to Goodreads and this group, and will be 25 as of Sunday, March 20th, at 3 p.m. :) I'm an avid reader though I've needed to slow down a tad lately due to school--graduation day is fast approaching.

I'm still slightly new to the world of paranormal romance--have not read nearly half the books that I wish to read in the genre, but I've vastly enjoyed all that I've picked up thus far. Well...mostly.

It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to get some great recommendations from what I see of others reading...as well as some freebies. Don't be shy. I'm more than happy to be given a head's up on some fun reads.

[Judi]

Hi, I'm Judi. Yes, I'm an author, but first I am a reader. :) I recently went back to work full time and am trying to juggle that, my family, my writing deadlines, and keeping my "me" time, which includes reading.

and she's a real sweetheart! I had the great fortune to be sitting next to her at one of my first book signings. She took me under her wing and gave me some pointers. Gotta love that generosity, as well as the great romances she writes!

Thanks so much for the welcomes and the birthday wishes :D

Hey there, Jeanine. I've read the BDB series, the Night Huntress and Night Huntress World series, the Gardella Vampire Chronicles series, and the first book of the Fever series. After the new BDB release this month, I'm going to start the Dark Hunter series.

[McKenzie]

I've been here for a few weeks now but have yet to make one of these introductions, methinks.

I'm a 23 year old female from Missouri and my name is McKenzie. You could say I'm still somewhat of a newbie to the paranormal romance world. The person who actually got me into it is my boyfriend's mother.

I've always liked to read but haven't been reading nearly as much as I have for the past year or so. I got a job at an office. It's the main switchboard at a hospital, a mini call center. We are allowed to read all day as long as we take calls. I get a lot of reading done during slow times.

PNR, horrow, and mystery/thrillers are my favorite kinds of reads. "Normal" romance is no longer fun after reading series like The Breeds, Immortals After Dark, Lords of the Underworld, etc etc etc. :)

Welcome McKenzie. Well you will certainly get a lot of good recommendations here. I certainly have!!!

[Jussy]

Hi my names Jussy, I only just found Goodreads recently. I have fallen in love with the PNR genre. So far I'm addicted to Night Huntress, Dark Hunters and the Dark Days series.

[Zulema]

Hi everyone! i'm new and I love to read. i never thought reading could be this much fun because I didn't used to read, until I picked up a book and read. From that day forward, I Loved books! If it has vampires, werwolves and fairies, ill read it!

[Katie]

Hi everybody! I'm coming back to goodreads after a long hiatus. Sometimes being social online can stretch you too thin, Know what I mean? With FB,Twitter,Linkedin, etc... you could spend the entire day just catching up on everything. LoL. Anyway, I'm back and wanted to re-introduce myself.

I'm Katie: wife, mother, and Urban Fantasy author (not always in that order. LoL.) I've got about 5 book under my belt (2 novels and 3 novellas).

I'm a Las Vegas lifer. I love living in sin city, as well as being a lover of all things vampire.

The last book I read was Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris. It took me a while but I really got into that series.

Hope to get to know you all better.

After you read those, you should try Lara Adrians, Midnight Breed Series. They remind me of BDB. Of course, they're not as great, but they are still good. Also, there is the Riley Jensen series.
