[Kathy]

Hello all, I'm Kathy from Pennsylvania, USA. I am new to goodreads and the group. I absolutely love reading and will read just about anything. Currently I am positively hooked on Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series, Archer Mayor's Joe Gunther series and James Patterson's Women's Murder Club series. Looking forward to recommendations from the group!

Welcome! It snowed in Denver in June when I lived there. Zombies should last longer, there.

Welcome! I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and I really like both Kate Shugak and Joe Gunther books. I am sure you will find hundreds of new books to read here on GR.

[DeeAnn]

Hi, I am a new Ohioan moving from the the Mojave Desert of California just last month. I read most everything, but mysteries and police procedural s are my favorite. I just discovered a new mystery series by Alex Grecian and I am hooked.

Hello. I'm a fledgling mystery writer and longtime mystery reader. Some of my books are free for download so check out my profile.

[Denise]

Hi folks, I'm new to this group. Love to read like the rest of you do. Mysteries/thrillers are some of my favorites. I live in Alaska where it finally stopped snowing Monday. The lake ice is beginning to thin out and the loons and two swans are sadly sitting on top of the ice waiting for open water. Ohhh, that sounds like a good beginning to a mystery/thriller...from solitude to flapping wings and birds taking flight when the ice cracks and a frozen arm bobs out of the water.

[Daniel]

I'm Daniel and new around here, invited by Jac. Other than Poirot and Chandler, I haven't been much of a crime/mystery reader until recently.

For no particular reason, I decided that for me, May would be Mystery Month by which I mean that I decided to read the entire Grafton Alphabet Series during the course of the month. So far, I'm on T so I think I'll make it.

From here I intend to move on to Ross Macdonald and Elmore Leonard.

[Ivonne]

Hi,
I'm Ivonne. I live in Vancouver WA. I really love a good Mystery. My favorite Mystery/thriller author is Karin Slaughter. :)

Hi, Ivonne. I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I love mysteries too, among other genres. I added Karin Slaughter to my TBR list. Welcome to GR!

[Lee]

I have been here for a few days, but haven't said hello. The problem with joining a new group is it is a bit daunting with the amount of posts, discussions, and sheets to begin.

Jac - thanks for the invite, seems like a nice group, just trying to orient myself.

My name is Lee in case that want already obvious, I love to read horror, mystery, suspense, ya, zombie, apocalypse, dystopian, type books. I am in love with my Kindle and my kindle app on all my decices and havent read an actual book in probably 4 years. I have been converted!

So that is me in a nutshell.

[Lee]

and sheets, wow, let me also say I do most of my posting via the GR mobile app on either my phone or tablet. The mobile app sucks and autocorrect loves to make me look like a damn idiot that can't type or spell.

[Arah-Lynda]

Hello everyone. I am new here. I guess I would have to say that I have an eclectic addiction to reading. I absolutely love a good thriller. My new and not so secret, recent find is Linwood Barclay. ahhh give me long weekend and a new Barclay. Love it!

Jac, if you go to New York City for 6 months, you'll have to come visit me- my bookstore's only maybe 3 hours south. I'd love to have you for a book signing.

OK, don't judge me but I'm from Essex.

I'm pretty much the polar opposite of the stereotype though.

[Marilyn]

Hi all! Both my hubby and I love a good adventure thriller and a good mystery. I am a 66 year old grannie of 3. I love to read anything that isn't gory and doesn't involve werewolves and vampires. I love to read cookbooks also, so I started the cookbook collectors group on Goodreads. I just began writing my first book two days ago, wish me luck!

[Barb]

Hi, my name is Barb and I am a librarian. My interest in mysteries and thrillers started as a pre-teen reading Agatha Christie. I have read all of her books at least twice. I seek authors with her ability to lay many clues, keep you guessing, and then resolve all of them logically at the end of the book. I hate formulaic books. I am always looking for new titles to recommend to my patrons. I am married, no kids, but a minpin dog named Mercedes. It appears to me that mysteries are just starting to take off again in young adult literature and I am pleased. I look forward to reading with you.

[Stefania]

Hi there! I'm Steffi, Italian born but currently living in London.
I'm a writer, I published several stuff in Italian but I decided to publish in English too.

I've always had a particular eye for crime and mystery stories, probably because I grew up with the entire Agatha Christie collection on my library as well as George Simenon. My mother's fault, I must confess :)
I love reading (a lot) of course, I read all the genres but guess what? Crime is my favourite :)

My main character is British but lives in Italy...my opposite, let's say :) My first stories in English will be released within few weeks, so I'm looking for some brave beta readers :)

I'm very excited about this new English adventure!

I don't want to spam (admin, if needed take off the url) but if there's someone interested in my beta reading mission can have a look at my Chase Williams's website: www.chasetwilliams.com

Thank you and nice to meet you too.

I am currently getting my MLIS (will graduate in May 2014). Any advice to a newbie?

Tania

[Melissa]

Jenni, I think MLIS stands for Masters Library Information Science. Most of my librarian friends need an MLIS degree to get a good-paying job in the library system.

[Leigh]

Welcome to all that joined the group this weekend. For those in the U.S., Happy Memorial Day. To those outside the U.S., Happy Bank Holiday.

I hop everyone had a nice, relaxing, weekend.

You are absolutely correct -- Masters of Library and Information Science.

[L.R.]

Hi, I have been on Good reads for a while but thought it was time to submerge myself into the community. I love crime fiction and thought what a great place to start posting!

I first got into the Hardy boys when I was younger and at one stage owned most of the books. Where they are now I have no idea but I might just start downloading them again.

I read all types of genres but Crime Fiction is close to my heart. I am an author and have started writing a crime fiction series and have plans to write a detective series down the track.

I live in Australia although I have only been back for six months. I was living and traveling around for six years, racked up about 60 countries during that time. Always had a good book or two to keep me company.

I hope to make some good friends on here and interested to see what books people enjoy. Thanks for your time, L.R.

Welcome! Groups are addictive, just like reading and collecting books. Your TBR LIST will grow very quickly. enjoy!

[Anne]

Hi everyone, I'm Anne Cleeland and I am lucky enough to have a British detective series coming out in August. I love a good mystery that's not too obvious and not too gritty. I love historical mysteries, too.
I look forward to lurking to see what everyone is reading.

[Beth]

Hi everyone,
I just found out about this group from a Goodreads friend who also loves mysteries. I enjoy reading and writing them, especially ones set in the great outdoors, such as those written by William Kent Krueger, Dana Stabenow, CJ Box, Nevada Barr, and Craig Johnson. I live in the ski resort of Breckenridge, CO, and enjoy the outdoor activities Colorado offers, such as skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, and whitewater rafting. I'll lurk here for awhile to learn the rules and see what the group is all about, but I hope to add to my already long to-read list as a result of becoming a member.

[Ava Catherine]

Hi, Beth! So great to have you here to share your love of reading and writing with us. I love your books, and we share some favorite authors as well. Welcome to MCT.

[Elizabette]

Hello! I've been a member of Goodreads for a few years, but I've never been active in any groups. I'm an Anglophile and love a good British novel and mystery. But, I love any page-turner that will keep me enthralled while I have a steaming cup of tea in hand. I'm looking for forward to finding new mystery novels-- but, I'm not a fan of gory or violent tomes.

Hope this is the right place!

[Leigh]

Welcome Elizabette.

I am sure you will get some great recommendations from other members of the group.

[Jack]

Hello everyone, I'm Jack, a 42 year old mystery fan from the UK. Although I grew up in the era of video nasties and splatter punk horror I've settled down and now enjoy classic mystery stories, Agatha Christie, Hammett, Chandler etc.
For the last two years, as well as working full time, I've also been attending college. This had impacted heavily on my reading time so as the course draws to its end I look forward to having that time back. Over these two years I've still bought books as regularly as I ever did so have a STACK to get through.
I look forward to joining in the discussions and hearing about some great reads as I go.

Congrats at being near the end of school! Welcome to the group. Be prepared for your stack of to be read books to increase at a rapid pace! Most of us find new "want to reads", faster than we can take books off our lists. Doing some of the challenges helps, especially if you find one that piques your interest. Enjoy. Also, making friends helps.

Hi Elizabette. Welcome to the group! I think you will find lots of great friends here to make smashing recommendations for new reads. I find that my 'to be read' list continues to grow at an alarming rate no matter how many books I read.

I tend to gravitate toward books with a literary bent such as P.D. James, Kate Atkinson, Agatha Christie, and Henning Mankell. I recently read Until Thy Wrath Be Past and liked it.

Good luck with your finals! And congratulations on nearing the end of school! Welcome to the group! We are pleased to have you with us. We look forward to sharing books with you.

[Jack]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. It's going to be great getting to know everyone.
Jac, I'm from South Wales and been studying engineering as part of my job. Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's been fun, in a way, but 42 is too old to be fretting about maths homework. Need to get some mystery back.
