Amber Martingale You're welcome. I used to love that song when I was a little girl. Now I've graduated to other things, like folk metal.

This is an example of folk metal from Mongolia: 杭盖乐队《初升的太阳》 160220 中国之星 (Hanggai): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOjdr...

I don't particularly love metal, and I LOVED that.

Amber Martingale Songs like that and these next three show that people involved in metal are smarter than most 0ther people are willing to give them credit for, Ellison.

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aa2O... (To Tame a Land-Iron Maiden)
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3-c7... (King Solomon and the 72 Names of God-LT Rhapsody)
3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvKRb... (The Bloody Verdict of Verden-Sir Christopher Lee)

2 and 3 are a subgenre called symphonic power metal. This genre's main nickname is "cinematic metal" because it's the kind of music John Williams might have written if he wrote for a metal band instead of Lucas and Spielberg.

Ricky | 20 comments Hi all,
I am Ricky and live n New Zealand with my wife and new born. I was just reading Beth's post and thinking about my own journey to joining this group.
I left school early and didn't gain qualifications but with a dream of university. 13 years later I walked through the gates of one for the first time knowing i'd have to tackle my dislike of reading. what happened next blew me away... I was dyslexic! I left Uni three years later with a double major in History and Sociology but more importantly a love of reading.
I have slowly evolved to love psychological thrillers as a book of choice but I am happy with most fiction but it has to be edge of your seat gripping!
Look forward to participating in the group.

message 8413: by Yigal (new)

Yigal Zur (yigalzur) | 3 comments My name is Yigal Zur; I am an Israeli author.
I have published 13 books till now, the last three of them are thrillers. Before I published novels, travel and even guides books to India and china. I started to write thrillers after a silence in writing which took hold of me for a long 10 years. Than looking back I saw that in all my novels been threads of investigations.
I am an avid reader of thrillers. normally at night time or while travel. i am a bookworm since childhood. I grew up on classics and adventures which brought me to my other professions: travel tv host, journalist and now a guide. I have been to more than 110 countries.
so I am quite excited to this big change and I hope to be more active on Goodread as a way to discover new friends with similar interests and hopefully new readers.
Death in Shangri-la is my second thriller but the first one to be translated into English. it is published by Oceanview publishers usa.
Death in Shangri-La is based on three real events: the first event that inspired me to write it was meeting the late Daniel Pearl, the American journalist in Oman two months prior to his 2002 murder in Pakistan. Soon after that I became the first embedded Israeli journalist in the second Iraqi war; the second event was the horror I felt when I heard about the massacre that took place at the Chabad House in Mumbai, India in 2008; the third event was when I discovered that one of the weapons used by the terrorists in India was a Tavor, an Israeli assault rifle. I thought – how is it possible that we Israelis have a part in this terrible event. I had to sit down to process this and write.
Death in Shangri-La is part hard-boiled detective mystery and part contemporary thriller. . It’s raw and authentic – that the way I write. I hope that it is unbeatable entertainment.

Lisa (nightowl4) | 11 comments Hi, everyone,

I’m Lisa and live in New Orleans, LA, with my husband, two children, and five dachshunds. My very favorites to read include mysteries and thrillers, but I also love re-reading my favorite classics from Jane Austin and the Bronte sisters. Right now, I’m enjoying Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder mysteries. I’m so excited to join your group and share our reading experiences! :)


message 8421: by Dani (new)

Dani Aquino (missdeereads) Hi everyone! I'm Danica and from the Philippines. I'm a theater enthusiast. Hobbies include writing poetry, blogging, and reading books. However, I got stuck at long hours of work for over a year now and had fallen off my reading regular routine, but I'm slowly catching up now.

My favorite thriller/horror author is of course Stephen King. By joining this group I hope to find other authors that write mystery/thriller books. :)

message 8436: by Henry (new)

Henry (henrytaba12) | 12 comments Hi everyone,
I'm Henry Taba from Malaysia. I had been lost for the past few years, until I discovered my passion. Writing is difficult at the beginning, messy in the middle but it is rewarding at the end as I found a passage to share the story that I have been keen to keep it for myself—but not anymore. Anyway, cheer to those who write and happy reading for the rest.
