Please Introduce Yourself, Let's All Get To Know Each Other
Hello! I used to be a member of this group 3-4 years ago.
I deleted social media including goodreads for a long time and stopped reading quite a lot.
I’m better now and thank you for letting me re-join the group. I always loved this group so much.
I remember a few faces... Janet, Sean, Christine.... to mention a few. :-)
Hope everyone is all well. :-)

Hi! My name is Allison McNeely. I am a yankee (CT) living on a bayou in Louisiana! I work in the oilfield, Married almost 9 years, no kids, obsessed with my dog (all dogs actually) and love cats (not obsessed though, they would never stand for it!) huge reader of thrillers, particularly psychological thrillers but love mysteries, some procedurals, and love when I find a series to delve into. I do audio books ( totally counts as reading!) and have been an audible member for 11 years so have many many titles in my library which I’m trying to update here in the goodreads app. Looking forward to recommendations and chats.

Hope you can embrace it and maybe write a book about it someday. 😊 I read by audio sometimes and it definitely counts as reading.

Hi! I'm Erica and I LOVE a great thriller. Lately, I've been hooked on Peter Swanson, Karin Slaughter (for 2 months, I binged read everything by her... it's that serious), Chelsea Cain and a little Jennifer Hillier. And I love anything with an unreliable wine guzzling female narrator. I look forward to being introduced to new authors and books that I can just quit life for a few hours and devour!
Have you read No Exit? Nail biter!!Baby Teeth is a good book too
Mod
Karin Slaughter has done a Q and A for this group, is a member, and a lovely lady.
Jennifer Hillier firs book was brilliant.
Lots of great thriller authors.
I am reading Carol Wyer.
Welcome all to the friendliest group on Goodreads!
Hi Everyone! My name is Jeff and I live in Surrey, England. After many years teaching chemistry, I changed career and became a technical editor, knowledge management specialist and software tester with a global computer software company. I love action adventure thrillers where the central character is an ordinary person suddenly thrust into extreme situations by circumstance. My other interests include observing nature and singing songs from the musicals.

Hi Everyone,I'm Althea and I'm from Madison, WI. I have my own blog, which I just recently switched blog hosts, and would love for you to check it out and subscribe to my blog.

I do my best to review at least one book a month, but sometimes it takes me a little while. I work a full-time job and my husband and I are expecting our first child in October, so I have been getting tired the closer to the due date I get.
Hello, my 'pen name' is Derek Vinn; I can't tell you my real name cause... privacy?Anyway, I'm an author; and not a good one; but I'm still at school: guess I have some more to learn...
I need to read some Mysteries to help improve the suspence in the detective novel I'm writing.
The End

Please subscribe to my blog www.21stcenturyreviews.com I am still fairly new to blogging and lost the few followers I had when I switched my blogs host site from Wix to Blogger. I would love to share my reviews with you. I will follow your blog as well.
Hi, I’m Barbara and I’ve just moved from Western NYS to Richmond VA. Mysteries and thrillers have been my favorite genre throughout my life, and since joining Goodreads about 6 months ago I’ve found so many new authors to enjoy!

I am Keith, a writer and microbiologist. I have joined this group to join in discussions about thrillers which is a genre I enjoy.

Hi I'm Kev.I have been an avid reader from Enid Blyton, through Malcolm Saville and John Creasey, Now just retired-ish (they asked me back part-time), I have more time for books.
Am an avid fan of Lee Child and Stephen Leather, desperately needing to sink my teeth into another good author.
I do enjoy biographies and "towards horror" such as Jeffrey Deaver and Early Stephen King.
Have already published reviews under Amazon, but dumped them as the service for me deteriorated.
Hi, Everyone, I'm Alan from St. Louis, Missouri. I have MS, but I don't permit that to stop me from writing. I have had five novels--murder/mysteries--published, and I have a new novel, "Being a P. I.--Again!", coming out soon. Thanks!

Hi, Kev! Welcome to retirement! Asked you back, eh? Don't fall for it. Make a clean break of it. Enjoy some reading before the yard work and household repairs kick in. Then you won't have a spare minute.
Now try the ebook first novella in my INCOGNITO Thriller Series. It's Life on the Lam. You can start reading for FREE and then if you want more, they are only 99 cents each. I know it's a shameless plug. So shoot me! http://adamjames.blackdogebooks.com/

Kevin, my favourite is action thrillers, like Lee Childs, but even better are Tom Wood, Simon Kernick, Mark Dawson, Steven Konkoly, Ben Coes, David Baldacci, Gregg Hurwitz, Chris Ryan, Mark Greaney, Vince Flynn, J B Turner, DV Berkom, Brad Thor, Tim Tigner.
To name a few, more on the books section
Greetings from Upstate NY! My name is Julie and my favorite thing to do is read. I love mysteries and thrillers and this group caught my eye. Lee Child, Vince Flynn and tons of others., I'm looking forward to getting ideas.
Hi everyone! I'm Chris, age 39, and I live in Kansas. I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full time. I've loved the mystery and thriller genres since I read Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown in my childhood. My favorite authors include Sue Grafton, John Lescroart, John Grisham, James Patterson, Ruth Ware, and Harlan Coben. Aside from reading, I enjoy watching sports, listening to music, and photography. I look forward to getting to interact with you all!

love music, love tennis, love thrillers

Hi Everyone. I have been in this group for quite sometime and I have no idea if I have ever introduced myself. I also just cleaned house and got rid of all the groups that I was not active in! This one stuck because it's the genre of books that I love best. I'm Sam and I am currently a full-time online student with Southern New Hampshire University (Yes, that school with the commercial on tv.) It's honestly as great as they make it out to be and I'm considering going for my Masters with it once my Undergrad is finished. I'm working hard to achieve a Bachelor's in English Language and Literature with a minor in Creative Writing. I have recently been inducted into the High Honors English Society called Sigma Tau Delta and from there I have applied for an internship with Penguin Random House in NYC. I won't know if I got it for another month and the actual internship isn't until Feb 2020.
I think this goes without saying but, I love to read. I love a lot of genres but my favorites are Thriller & Suspense, Horror, Historical Fiction, Contemporary Fiction and Fantasy. I'm currently reading The Stand by Stephen King. (Kind of shock it's my first time reading this one and so far I'm loving it!)
I also got a job at The Nerd Daily.com it's an online blog featuring books, fandoms, tv shows and basically anything that classify as "nerd culture" I am currently working on my first three blog posts.
It's finally the beginning of my favorite time of year. Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas! I love the Holidays and I love giving back. My family and I usually donate toys and clothing to people who need it during this time but this year we decided to adopt a local rescue farm. They rescue all types of animals small and large and the owners had some hardships this year, so we are excited to be gifting them what they need. Plus we will get to visit all the pigs, goats, cows and chickens!
Please feel free to add me, I don't get out nearly enough and I'm always looking for a friend especially one that wants to talk about books!
<3 Sam.
Hi everyone,I joined Goodreads two months ago and have finally gotten around to checking out the groups. This one looks like a fantastic group.
I live in the USA. I have been an avid reader since I learned how to read. Crime fiction is the genre that I have read for the longest period. I've only branched into thrillers since last year when I found Lee Child's Jack Reacher stories. But my absolutely favorite protagonist is Charlie Fox, written by Zoe Sharp.
Come check out my profile & shelves. I'd like to meet more people with similar interests. And I've also added 10 random facts about me in that thread.

Hi, Lea. Welcome me to the group. I have some Slovenian connections - all my grandparents were born there, as was my father. Admittedly that was a looooooong time ago, though. I’ve never visited, but the pictures I’ve seen of the countryside are beautiful.
Hi im Julie and i live on the South Coast of England. I love reading especially mystery and thrillers. As a teenager i was an avid fan of Agatha Christie, now i love anything psychological. After a career in banking and working for a local school i am now a parent carer for my daughter and have lots of time for reading ☺
Hi, I’m Kath ! Thanks for the invite :)I live South Coast of England and work part time in the motor trade. I score for my local cricket team in the Summer and play pool in the pub! I watch (while reading) lots of other sports live and on tv. Too many to list!
The rest of the time I read. About 300 books a year which I also review! Most genres apart from romance/erotica!
I share a house with my big bro and, as I’m responsible for the chores, it’s usually pretty messy (but clean) that’s cos I read when I’m supposed to be doing them! But bro don’t mind as long as the cat we share with a neighbour gets fed!
That’s me! Thanks for reading.
Hello Everyone!My name is Trina and I live in the US (Texas). I'm originally from Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love:-) I've worked in law for over 20 years and now I teach legal courses and do pro bono work as a Mediator and Arbitrator in various courthouses. I fell in love with reading at the age of 8 when I read Ramona the Pest. I'm very excited to be a part of this group and look forward to lively discussions with you all.

I'm Phil from Liverpool although I now live in Barcelona.
I write thrillers (Bloodhound Books/HarperCollins) and love getting recommendations for new authors as I have a serious book habit. Anti-heroes, darkly comic, and off beat is my bag.
Salut!
