Hi Folks,

I'm Jim, from Lichfield in England.

I didn't learn to read until I was 9. The first thing I ever read on my own was Amazing Spiderman 3 with Dr Octopus. By the time I was thirteen I wanted to be a writer.

I started by writing non-fiction books and progressed to my one true love crime thrillers in 2015. The journey has been interesting and worthwhile if more than a little frustrating at times.

I'm useless with IT but I hope to play an active part in this community and to pick up recommendations for the many great books that I know are out there but which I've never heard of.

Cheers,

Jim

[Jennifer]

Hi,

My name is Jennifer and I live in Minnesota. I just recently jointed Goodreads, so I'm pretty new here! I love to read, but I only just got back into it a month ago because I was always preoccupied with reading textbooks instead of books I enjoy. I'm currently reading The Girl on the Train (a little behind with the crowd, I know). Almost done with it! I can't wait to browse the other threads and see what people are reading!

No, because its heavy metal and not pop. I'm a Lita Ford fan

[Clare]

I'm Clare, and I'm 16 years old. I'm absolutely obsessed with reading (two books a week! lol) and want to be an author when I'm older.
I live on a horse farm outside of Toronto.
I'm really trying to find good psychological thrillers to read, as I'm fairly new to the genre. The next book I'm writing is going to be a thriller and I'd love to get more familiar with the genre.
Any suggestions? (I've only read the Girl on the Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, so far)

[Sandy]

You could try Kay Hooper - Bishop Special Crimes Unit. I found those to be good thrillers.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Jennifer and Clary

welcome to the group, we have many favourites here.

Angela Marsons, Mel Sherratt, Karin Slaughter, Linda Castillo,

Will think of more psychological thrillers.

I am a fond reader of mysteries having started reading and loving books in elementary school. Worked my adult life in education, re-tired 2001. Two dogs and one cat allow us to live with them. I and my partner and partner's daughter and her husband all live together. Big house, huge lawn helps to give us all our private space. Live in Colorado as in forever, but we travel a lot, seen a lot, and lots yet to see. Still love mysteries with an occasional "other" theme thrown in.

[Britta]

Hello, I'm Britta and I live in Berlin, Germany. Like all of you I love reading and my fave genres are thrillers, cozy mysteries, humor and detective stories for "young readers". Apart from books, I like animals, languages and TV shows. Unfortunately, I usually don't have that much time to read, so my pile of unread books is quite high - and I always find new ones ... I always have a hard time deciding which one to read next, I want to read them all at once :). Happy reading everyone!

[Paula]

Welcome to the group Britta. I have the same problem deciding which book to read next

Hi Ploye
Welcome to the group. My name is Paige I live on the East Coast in VA. I like Thrillers the best but lately have not found a book that jus "grabs" me. I think it is more my mood than the books but I would love any recommendations you may have. I like Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwall, and many more I cannot think of now. Please guys get me back onto a "page turner".
Thanks!
