Jess McDonald (jessbymyshelf) | 4 comments Hi Friends!

My name is Jess. I'm originally from Maryland but now in year 2 of Tennessee. Love it here and great views for reading. I have been a life long reader since the age of 3. Favorite childhood book was the Nancy Drew series. Since I wanted to be an FBI Profiler, I love mysteries, suspenseful novels, and yes I am partial to the lead detective being a chick because I have to live vicariously thru them, for having my son changed my career path. I am a teacher now but hope to teach sociology/criminal justice at our local college...no matter how old you get, you never stop dreaming.

Can't wait to get to know all of you

message 7410: by Mike (new)

Mike McAdam (mikemcadam) | 361 comments I have been in this group for a while but have never introduced myself. My name is Mike and I work in the legal department (not an attorney) at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. I also run a production company called Frantic Lounge Films. We have been making movies since 2011. Mostly short films but we shot our first feature length film last year. It is still being edited. I also fancy myself a writer - I wrote the feature and the majority of the films we have shot. I have never written a novel - screenplays seem to be more my speed... and I write mostly comedy but wrote a 25-minute thriller that turned out quite well (editing on that one is also almost done)... so there you go. I try to read as much as I can but it is slow going... There are just not enough hours in the day. I read mostly thrillers but dabble in most other genres as well.

Paula Adams (goodreadscompadams57) | 1590 comments Welcome to the group Mike. That must be exciting working in the film business behind the scenes. I wish you well with your production company.

Britta | 14 comments Welcome Andreia! I also love thrillers, mysteries, detective stories, cozy mysteries etc - my pile of unread book is huge and I always find new ones. And I'm a great animal lover. I'll send you a friend request if you don't mind. Enjoy reading! :)


message 7418: by Paula (new)

Paula Adams (goodreadscompadams57) | 1590 comments Hi Britta, my TBR list is huge and getting bigger every day. I am also an animal lover. When I lived in MA last year I called my Congressman in DC to have him support a bill on animal cruelty prevention and punishment to those that are caught being abusive. I am always writing and signing petitions to save all animals from abuse. I read this one story this morning and it just makes me cry what some people are capable of. Then it makes me mad that they get away with it.

message 7426: by Britta (new)

Britta | 14 comments Paula and Andreia, it's so good to hear that you are so active in animal support. It's so incredible what some people do to animals - so cruel and simply disgusting. Keep up your good work. - And it's so great that we have the same taste in books. I'm glad I registered here on goodreads - I found so many interesting new books which I added to my TBR pile. Greetings to everyone and enjoy reading! :)

message 7437: by Carolyn (last edited Feb 25, 2017 02:45PM) (new)

Carolyn | 1613 comments Hi, I just joined the group after being invited by Christine.. I'm an Aussie and mostly active in the Aussie groups.
I read most genres but read a LOT of crime and suspense these days. Have too many favourite writers to name them all but I love the dark and gritty novels like those by Ian Rankin and Jo Nesbø. Lately I've been reading Peter May's Lewis series and Ann Cleeves's Shetland series - there's something about those dark brooding Scottish islands that's a perfect setting for thrillers.

Rina Hi, my name is Rina. I live in Germany and I love reading. I read different genres, but my favourite is crime/thriller.
I have a dog (Podenco - it is a spanish breed, nowadays many of them are street dogs in Spain), and I love doing dog sports with him.

message 7447: by Tim (new)

Tim Smith My name is Tim. I live in Rockford, Illinois. I was born and raised in Mason City, Iowa. I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force back in 1982 and served for ten years, seven of those in Germany. I started reading thrillers back in the 80's when I was stationed in Germany and bought The Hunt for Red October after hearing several people talk about the book. I was hooked right away. After reading that I started reading books by Tom Clancy, Larry Bond and Dale Brown. Those are still some of my favorite authors. (Yes, I know that Tom Clancy is dead.) Last year I decided to check out Absolute Power. I got hooked on David Baldacci after reading it. I'm currently reading The Winner. I also discovered Martin Roy Hill last year when I received a review copy of his book The Last Refuge. I wrote a review of the book in my blog. He started following me on Google+ after my review. I also recently read a book by M.P. McDonald. I am planning on reading more of her books.

Other than thrillers, I also like to read classics, mystery, science fiction and fantasy, also non-fiction. Thrillers are the main genre I like to read.
