Groovy Lee Hello, Everyone

My name is Groovy Lee. I live in the deep south where the number four has two syllables:)

I'm an avid tennis buff (OMG, the season has started)
I love books, and scary movies.

I'm also an author. Thanks for having me.

Hi and welcome Groovy,

You like tennis that is great, I am a avid tennis buff and player.

Just watched Murray beat Raonic, Murray now in the semi-final of Madrid Masters.


The tennis season for me is all year, for players 11 months a year nearly.
We also like thrillers !!

Murray won and is in the semi final


Semi's Nadal v Berdych

Murray v Nishikora

I watch every tournament all year. The French will be the about the 8th tournament on clay.

Then onto my favourite grass.

I play county standard, more so in my younger day, play veterans now for the island of Jersey, but more for fun now.

No. Then again, her video for COLD HEARTED was a Bob Fosse tribute... .

So, where do you live, Amber, that is, if you do not mind me asking?


message 5311: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Thank you for that information, Sean. I think Nadal and Murray's got it.

And thank you, Dawn and Cameron. I really feel I joined a very good group, especially with a tennis buff like me as one of the moderators. I'm looking forward to the "bunch of fun":)

Kereen Hello Everyone, My name is Kereen, I live in the UK. I am a freelancer working from home. I love reading (don't make enough time for it), love music, travelling and movies.
I have been writing short stories since I was eight. Just finished my first full novel. Look forward to getting to know you all :)

message 5319: by Mariana (new)

Mariana Sasso | 2 comments Hello, I was invited by Christine and just joined!

I'm from Brazil, and started to read books in english six months ago. I read on my kindle, and I love thrillers, psychological thrillers, mystery and crime books. I' a slow reader so currently I'm reading like 2 books/month.

Hope to get book recommendations and make friends! :)

I was just curious. It sounds like you need to be somewhere in-between for your health, and I know that I am not telling you anything new. Is it very humid where you live? Sometimes our jobs take us places that just are not right for our bodies or their conditions.

Best,
Cam

Welcome Mariana. Would say that English not being your native tongue, that two books a month is a pretty fast speed. Have fun in our group. There are a bunch of great reading people here.

It changes on a literal daily basis but averages what I call the "Sweet spot" of 50% RH. Not too dry, not too wet... .

Haven't held a job in 13 years and was legally declared "unable to work" back in 2007 after a hearing in St. Louis, MO. courthouse for my Supplemental Security.


message 5323: by Cameron (new)

Cameron Wiggins | 369 comments Amber:

I am disabled, too. I have not worked since 2006. I have a long laundry list of health issues but I am still lucky to be here.
RH 50% - that's pretty much right down the middle. Could be worse and could be better.
Have a good one.

Best,
Cam

message 5333: by Glen (new)

Glen Robins (13582980) | 68 comments Hello Good Thrillers Group,

I just joined this group and spent the last hour reading posts and getting familiar with all that this group has to offer. There is some good stuff here. I hope to contribute as often as my hectic schedule will allow. I juggle a very demanding day job, an active and growing family, community service, a lust for outdoor adventure, and a passion for reading and writing with the need to occasionally eat and sleep. All this activity keeps me busy, but happy.

I look forward to sharing reading experiences with the group. I've already learned quite a lot.

Glen Robins
Author of "Off Kilter"

Welcome, Glen, to the group. Glad you've found some things of interest here! We do try!! :)


message 5338: by Solange (new)

Solange | 10 comments Hi everyone. I am new to the Group and kind of new to GGoodreads. I'm a trial lawyer by day and a thriller writer by night. Obviously, because words consume both of these "jobs" I love books, especially thrillers, mystery and the like. I am seeking reviews for a new thriller. If anyone is interested, please e-mail me privately at solangeritchie@hotmail.com.

Welcome Glen and welcome Solange

Glen, I know the feeling, life is hectic, off to tennis now for 3-4 hours, after work, which was 14.2 miles walking and lifting today !

I hope you both find some great topics here.

Go to 10 Random Things, Chat Chat Chatter, The Hot Seat, Book Pal and Pick It For Me.

Enjoy and have fun

message 5344: by Solange (new)

Solange | 10 comments Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Yes, I love what I do both during the day and writing at night. I'm not going to lie and say I don't get tired sometimes, but when you have a passion for what you do, somehow every day is a good day.


message 5345: by Cameron (new)

Cameron Wiggins | 369 comments Welcome Glen and Solange. Enjoy the group. Have fun with it.

Glen, I wouldn't be overly-concerned with how much you have to offer the group. I am sure that you will do just fine. Relax and Enjoy. Every little bit is appreciated but everyone realizes that some of us are way busier than others.

Solange, good luck with your new novel. I am currently a bit backed up or I would take you up on your offer now, but I just could not get to it right away.

Cameron

Do you get to play with Lego all day?"


Tonight I wanted to review my introduction?
The answer David is no. Unlike back in February when I joined this group. I get to tired to build a Lego set when I get off work and just mainly focus watching TV and reading a number of books like what I was back in 2013.

Robina Williamson | 1 comments Hi. I'm Robina from Melbourne, Australia. I'm new to kindle books. I found it very hard to give up the 'turning of the page' but now that I've read my first kindle book, I'm hooked. I'm looking forward to the group reads and hearing about any great Mystery/Thirillers that I haven't yet read.
