Scott: You're welcome.I'm NOT a big fan of politcians, regardless of party, being IDIOTS. Here's an example of the idiocy of one Rethug...I mean Republican in particular: https://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/0...
A big hello to everyone! My name is Loretta and I'm from New Jersey. I love to read all sorts of books. At this point I'm big into the classics although I absolutely love mysteries/thrillers, with the occasional good scary/spooky ghost story thrown in too! I can't wait to find and read some new authors here that I haven't read before to sadly replace my favorite, Robert B. Parker's, Jesse Stone and Sunny Randell. Can't wait to "meet" and discuss books with you all!

I'm new here. I now live in Greenville, SC but grew up and lived in Michigan. I like mystery and thriller books. I also have an avid interest in espionage and black-op books. Before I retired I worked in a library and read many genres but always went back to the mystery/thriller books.

My name is Gena. I am new to Goodreads. I live in Amarillo, TX. I like to write, photograph, and paint. I spend a lot of time reading and watching old movies--especially Film Noir, when I'm not being bossed around by a Corgi.

Please make yourself and home and enjoy the group
Gena I am a mad film buff, and formerly wrote a film reference book, we have a thread for old film noir films.
Hello, my name is Sorina and I'm from Romania. I highly appreciate goodreads, since you can connect with a lot of readers; especially because there aren't too many people who read in my area or even my country. Also, I'm a bit of a writer myself, since I love writing and reading just as much; I also like to draw, sketch, paint, pretty much anything will stimulate my imagination and sense of creation. It's nice to meet you all, feel free to add me as a friend and recommend me some books !
Mod
we have lots of countries here in this group
Lots of recommendations here, especially if you go to "Just Finished" "Share Your Review"

My Name Is James. Hello groupI am a Property manager in London UK which takes up a lot of my time. but I still find time to write. I became a self published Author back in 2014 with my first novel which took me eight years to complete. I love action thrillers, hiking, and reading but most of all spending time with people close to me.

I'm a nurse too Brigitta! I'm not much of a writer though! I like writing reviews and my blog but don't know if I have a novel in me! Haha"
Whe..."
Computers?? HAHA things must be different in the US!! We have only just started using computers for things here. Everything else is good old fashioned paper ;-)
Ive been a critical care nurse for over 10 years now :-)
Totally understand why you want to escape with your writing!!! That's what I do with my reading and reviewing too.
Maybe one day when I have a bit more time and not running after a toddler I will be able to get something out but I don't have much of a need for it at the moment. Never know what the future holds! :)
Enjoy the group and goodreads, hope to see your books on the shelves one day! :)
