Hello everyone, I'm Lanie. I am an avid reader and although I only picked up PNR a few years ago, I have totally fallen in love with it. I also enjoy historical romance, mysteries, thrillers and even a little horror. I am obsessed with reading anything considered to be classic lit, simply because I want to know what makes it so special. I can't wait to see what this group is all about. :)

Hey,all!I am still somewhat new to goodreads, having been directed here from the amazon forums and I have to admit that it is somewhat overwhelming but in a good way.
I love romance novels in general but I greatly enjoy PNR - it is interesting to read about alternate realities where vampires and shape shifters exist, where anything can happen - and usually does. I like the different takes on vamps and weres and all of the other thigns that go bump in the night because in PNR, the rules are made to be broken.
I look forward to trying to contribute my little words of wisdom (or foolishness) to the group!!
Hey everyone Lady Zombie a.k.a Robin is here. New to the group and just introducing myself. I as well have my own blog about books of the Horror and Paranormal genre. So check it out if you want. Its on my profile.
Hello, my name is Renee. I love anything romance in general. I'd like to consider myself a hopeless romantic and i am a believer in the paranormal, so naturally I really enjoy reading Paranormal Romance books. I volunteer at my local library once a week and help out with their yearly book sales, but i wouldn't mind hearing some recommendations on books to check out or buy. I'm 18 living in California, and quite shy by nature but wouldn't mind making some new friends who share the same interests as me. So yeah, I really don't know what else to say, so i'll just end it here. :)
Just joined the group thought I'd stop by and say hello.. What else to say? Well I'm a new author and just finished my first novel which is the first in a trilogy.. I started at the end and I'm working my way back - odd? Yes it is, but then so am I... Up for all discussions so send me messages if you want to, I usually answer them all... I mostly love all paranormal and supernatural stories and discussions, but can talk about the weather in your area if that floats your boat... Come say hello back :)
Hi, guys!My name is Annette (And Roxy Rex, this is a shared account)
I've been on goodreads for about a week. I do love to review books, but you'll see that I'm really harsh on some. That's just my inner bookworm taking over me.
Don't hesitate to PM us or comment and review on our writing. I really appreciate any constructive critism.
My likes:
If you didn't already know from my user name, I AM A HOMESTUCK FAN. If you're one too, don't hesitate to send a friend request... yes, Nepeta is my favorite troll (Aradia is Roxy's... lulz, she has the same name as Lalonde)
I LOVE Charles Dickens. I am a huge fan of his, as well as Charlotte Bronte.
My favorite musician is the lovely and talented Emilie Autumn.
We work at a year round Halloween store.
That's about it!
Hi everyone,My names Samantha and I'm a stay at home mom in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada. I have two kids (three if you include my man-child of a husband LOL) and three cats.
On the reading side, I'm a fan of everything from Sci-Fi to fantasy to romantic suspense to paranormal romance. My all time favorite authors are Christopher Pike, Dean Koontz, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kelley Armstrong.
As an author, my debut e-novel Twist of Fate was released in mid-february of this year. It's the first book in a trilogy called the Blood Rose Series. The second book in the series titled Crimson Moon will be released in April or May 2012. Both books are through No Boundaries Press.
Hi all, I'm Helen - horror is my more usual fare, but I have a few UF books on my to-read mountain and am always on the look-out for more potential goodreads, so I'm looking forward to finding some recommendations on here.
Hi all! I'm Krystal. I'm a mom of two adorable kids. Bella, is almost 7, and Logan is 19 months (over a year and a half). I have a wonderful husband, Zack, and an adorable cat named Oliver.I have been on Goodreads for awhile now. I just haven't had the chance to actually join in groups till now. I'm really looking forward to talk about these amazing books.
I read all sorts of sci-fi, and paranormal books. Paranormal romance has been my favorite for a few years now.
Hi Everyone,I'm Diane from Chicago. I am married with one son an a housefull of pets.
I usually read a couple of books a week. I love science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and historic fiction. I just finished Fair Game by Patricia Briggs and The Darkest Seduction by Gena Showalter.
I look forward to the discussions with this group!
Hi! I just wanted to say hello! I am Emmalee, I recently released my debut novel, Neophyte. Its YA Paranormally Novel. Check it out! :) It is only $2.99 through the end of this month!
I am so excited to join this club! Fantasy is one of my favorite genres (although I like almost every genre). :)Thanks for all the effort that the moderators and owners have to do so as to keep this club working effeciently and effectively!

Hi, I'm Shelia and I joined GoodReads because I wrote a book. I love fantasy. I live in Ohio (Cleveland area). I used to hate reading until Harry Potter, Narnia, Twilight and now Game of Thrones came around and now I can seem to put them down!
I love Games of Thrones, the show, I haven't read the books yet because my hubby was really mad about all the death so I am waiting till after this season to start it.Welcome everyone!!!
Hi,First off I'll admit I was introduced to Goodreads just a couple of days ago when a friend told me about it, and that he'd put my new novel MetaMagik on his favourites list. However, since semi-cynicaly joining to help promote my book I've learned two things.
One is that I've read a hell of a lot of books. I've been adding books erratically to 'My Books' and still haven't scratched the surface of the pile of titles I've read so far in my life.
The second thing I've learned is, there is a like minded group of bibliophiles out there on the internet, and how grateful I am to have found them.
You can read the bio on my author's page, all of which is true, but it is there to help me sell books. The me behind the public face is a middle aged man with health problems. I suffer from Chronic Pain Syndrome, which in recent years has effected my mobility, to the extent that I have to spend most of my life lying on my bed here in Brighton, England. The upside to this is that I have a lot of time to read, and write of course.
As you can imaging, it would be very difficult for me to attend a book club, so this site is a great way for me to discuss books.
I'm interested in paranormal romance partly because it is one of the categorys on Amazon where my own novel fits (this is the last time I'll plug my book, if you want to know more about it please check it out on this site). Genre is odd, is it not; does a book like The Raw Shark Texts (which I heartily recommend) fit in with this group? I have no idea. However, I am always on the lookout for new books, and I'm sure I will find some good suggestions from this group. I look forward to sharing our joint love of literature with you all.
Love & peace,
Zero
Hi Everyone, I'm Janey from the UK and I've just joined your group. Looking forward to reading all your posts. I'm currently reading Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs.
Hello all!! I'm Heather and I love to read pretty much anything paranormal! I look forward to adding many books to my TBR :)
hijust joined so wanted to say hello and I look forward to getting some suggestions for new books as I have no book to read at the moment and don't know which one to choose!
I really want a good paranormal/fantasy romance ya novel any ideas?
thanks
Hi everyone. I just joined so thought I would post and say hello. I'm pretty sure I spend more time each day looking for new books to read than actually reading! I look forward to learning about some new authors and getting more great recommendations to add to my massive TBR pile.
Greetings all, I'm Faye Cross, I'm from the UK and I look forward to spending many hours here and making many friends.My friend introduced me to this site and since I joined, I have found myself happy to spend several hours on here.
I'm also a child of the Dark ... I love anything Vampire, Werewolf, Romance, Adventure and Fantasy. When you check out my shelf, you will notice that I enjoy a variety of books, though I prefer Vampire novels.
I look forward to many hours of enjoyment from everyone's news and reviews.
Hi I'm Holly, SAHM of 3 and licensed massage therapist. I enjoy, reading, writing, sewing, quilting and Babywearing. I love paranormal romances, along with mystery, suspense, fantasy but will give most books a shot.
Hi all, my name is Kim and I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I love to read, especially history and historical fiction (and its related genres), but I sometimes read and enjoy other non-hist books. Although I've read several paranormal/horror/gothic books over the years, I'm very much a PnR/UF amateur. I look forward to participating with this group. Thanks!
Hello all, my name is Susie and I got into romance about 3 years ago. I was one of those people that made fun of my mom for reading it cause I thought it was all that mushy, sappy stuff. I swore that I would never walk into the romance section for books for myself. (I worked at Borders at the time, so I had to shelve it.) My first ever romance novel was the Georgina Kinkaid books by Richelle Mead because I love her Vampire Academy books. I am a very avid reader of young adult books. I simply loved it and became hooked and now I can't seem to stop reading them. I won't read a romance novel unless it has some sort of paranormal aspect to it though. I tend to sway towards the Vampire and werewolf ones though without even trying. I love to Role Play with friends on Gaia Online as well as write my own stories just for fun. I love to read mangas and graphic novels as well.I will read dairy free cookbooks and Wiccan books since I am a Wiccan myself and can't have dairy at all. I'm always looking for a new, good romance book to read, but lately I have been disappointed with some authors. Hopefully I can find some new ones while being a member of this group! ^_^
Lots of new people!! Welcome, everyone!! This is a great group! :)
Hi all, im Emmiina from Finland. I was introduced to goodreads just a few weeks ago but i'm already seriously hooked :) I'm looking forward to find intresting books and series to read and discussions to follow.
Hi :) I'm France from Montreal, Canada. I'm 32 years old. I was on Goodreads for maybe 1 or 2 years. But it's last week that I took the time to discover it and now I'm addicted to it. I've been reading paranormal books (with vampires, werewolf, demons...) since at least 2 years. I began with Kelley Armstrongs. Since them I read a lot. And with this site I'm discovering more great authors of paranormal.
Hi all, I'm Daniela from Malta. I was introduced to this group just a few weeks ago but i'm already seriously hooked :) I got into reading paranormal romance about 2/3 years ago after reading Twilight. I'm looking forward to find intresting books and series to read and discussions to follow.

Welcome, Daniela!!
Welcome, Daniela!!
Hi, ladies! I'm Robin. There seem to be an awful lot of Texans in here! I'm a transplanted Texan gal myself. Living in Canada now. I'm 34, married, two kids, etc. I have been loving PNR for along time. Began with Anne Rice's The Mummy back in high school. I was hooked. I write stories, myself, though none of them seem to be PNR. But, still tend to run to the "dark" side, so I've been told. ;)
I was REALLY excited about this website, what a GREAT idea! I am CONSTANTLY looking for something new to read. I tend to read 2-3 books at once and I finish them too quickly.
Hi there- Just introducing myself to the group. This week, I published my first novel, a paranormal romance, Kade's Dark Embrace. It is almost urban fantasy...very edgy, strong female heroine and urban settings. It is most definitely on the spicy side. :-)I also write about autism on PsychologyToday.com. I always wanted to write a book about autism, but then I ended up writing something totally unrelated, which was a lot of fun.
I LOVE reading paranormal romances and urban fantasy books. :-) So I am glad I joined here. I am always looking for new books to read in this genre....I have a total Kindle addiction. LOL :-) It will be great to get recommendations on new books.
Hi all. My name is Steve. (Yeah, I’m a guy. How did I end up here?) Actually I love reading Paranormal Romance. Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series is one of my favorites. I’m also a fan of Christine Feehan, Elizabeth Vaughan, and Gail Carriger. I discovered that I loved Romance when my wife slipped Charmed by Nora Roberts into my reading pile. (You never forget your first…)I’m a retired Computer Desktop Support Specialist, and I live in north-central Wisconsin with my wife, my garden and my music. My two adult children have flown the coup. With the nest empty, I have lots of time to read. I’ve also decided to try my hand at writing. I’ve currently got two books published under the name S. C. Mitchell.
I’m looking to get involved here in the discussions and pick up some new authors to follow, and inspire my own work.
Welcome newcomers so many since my last visit. rGab a thread and make new friends and suffer from TBR overload with the rest of us. Steve I recently started Dark Hunters and I love the series so far! (Next up for me there is
. I definitely get the attraction. Don't forget to check the self promotion folder so you authors not get in trouble.
Hi everyone,My name is Kate and I'm a big fan of urban fantasy & paranormal so I thought I'd fit into this group just fine. I'm in college studying law and business management, and in my free time I read a lot, write a lot (working on a few WIPs of different genres, paranormal / urban fantasy included), and I love sports and gaming.
Looking forward to being active in this group! :)

I am also a big fan of Charline Harris. I spend a lot of time reading and I enjoy every moment of it!

Hi! My name is Melanie. I am from Texas and I love to read. I'm new to goodreads, but I'm definitely not new to reading. If it's paranormal romance or urban fantasy, I read it. Some of my favorite authors are Particular Briggs, Darynda Jones, JR Ward, and many others. I cant wait to find out what everyone is reading because I'm always looking for new authors and series!

My real name is Filip, but you can better call me Law (that's a character from my novels that I like a lot). I'm 20 and I live in Croatia. I started writing in July 2006, at my age of 15. I started with poetry. Now I'm more of a novel writer, but I still write poems sometimes. I'm new on Goodreads, a friend introduced me to this site a few days ago. I really don't know much about it, so don't laugh at me for being lost and confused, please! :D
Unfortunately, I can't post my prose here because I write in Croatian, and it's kinda too long to translate. I can only post my poems and eventually summaries of my novels.
The title of this group attracted my attention because it reminds me of a fictional couple from my novel "Return to the dreams". I could say something about it if anyone wants to know. :D
I hope to get along well with you, guys, and to find myself in this community and learn how to work with this site properly. :D
Greetings from Croatia,
Law/Filip
