Introduction

Please Introduce Yourself, Let's All Get To Know Each Other
Hi Everyone, My name is Ishita, I am a 20 something graduate from India. I have always loved reading and used to finish 500 page books in one sitting, but with time this habit got lost and I barely used to read one book in months but this pandemic has pushed me to rekindle my love for books and I hope it continues from here on.
I am very new to goodreads and still figuring out my way through it. I like to try different genres but mystery thriller is my go-to genre always, specially psychological thrillers.
I am looking forward to getting some great recommendations, knowing other's opinions on my favorite books and making new friends. :)
Mod
lots of great author recommendations

Hi everyoneMy name is Steve and I semi retired a few weeks ago after being a senior clinician for 30 + years. I am still working but on my own terms and when I like on things that energise and interest me.
Looking forward to having a better work life balance and spending more time reading, which has tended to be only done when I was on holiday.
Great to virtually meet you all and join the group

Hi Readers! I'm Paula from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. I stay pretty busy as a benefits manager, but I've announce my plan to retire at the end of 2021, so I'm looking forward to having more time to read.I used to belong to three book clubs, but one has gone dark due to COVID-19. The other two are chugging along on Zoom. Nonetheless, I'm always searching for good book recommendations, and hope I'll find some in this group. I enjoy mysteries, but enjoy many other genres.
One of my favorite non-fiction books, let's say a True (white collar) Crime books is "Barbarians at the Gate". I also enjoyed "The Greatest Trade Ever" by Gregory Zuckerman. I'd love to hear about works of fiction that explore corporate greed and fraud. Let me know if you know of a good one!

Hello everyone My name is Thasneem (pronounced as Tas-neem) Anyway, I'm a Canadian Story Writer. I haven't published any of my books in reals life as they are too... how can i say this... not professional enough. My goal is to try to write a long, interesting story that would always make you want to know what happens next. I'm currently making a story called "Now 'til Forever" and its about a girl who can't stop dancing after making a wish she wasn't aware of. I started reading when i was in kindergarten and never stopped. I elove all types of genres but my specialty is horror, murder mystery and crime fiction. Thank you all for welcoming me here and i hope you have a great day!

Hello. My name is Andrew James Graham.I am from Wallsend, which is in the North Tyneside area of England (near Newcastle).
I have joined Goodreads to hopefully discover some different authors and some brilliant recommendations for must reads.
I usually read (and write) gritty dark British Police dectective novels, my favorite authors being Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, Peter Robinson and Peter James, but I also enjoy the underworld Gangster type novels by Martina Cole and Stephen Leather.
I also hope you can all advise me on any groups I could join to share my views on crime thrillers, there are loads out there but I'm not sure which ones are the best for conversation.
I look forward to interacting with you all in the future.
Regards
Andrew James Graham
Hi Sean, Hi everyone else in this group!I just wanted to say hello after joining A Good Thriller a few days ago. I'm a European writer and reader (obviously). I love fast paced mysteries and psychological thrillers.

Great to meet you all!

Yes lots of recommendations here.
Peter James, I will be going to his house in the next month or so, lives 100 hundred yards away.
One to chat about books, set up a Q and A's and maybe a tennis lesson.
I coached on his court to the previous owners children,
As I write this I look out at his house,
He bought the house for 4.3 million pounds.

Hi there. I’m Paul - new to Goodreads and this group. I’m not a big fan of Facebook and I was looking for somewhere to make friends with readers of the sorts of books I like; such as crime, thrillers and dystopia (and combinations of these!). Goodreads appears to be a nice alternative community - currently finding my way round.
Hi everyone - Kristin in Norway here, live with my two Whippets and a 17-yo daughter. I read a lot, and love thrillers/crime/mysteries. I have been a Goodreads-member for some years, but haven’t joined any groups until now.As a Scandinavian I have lots of favourites in my “neighbourhood”, like Jo Nesbø, Hjorth & Rosenfeldt, Jussi Adler-Olsen, Yrsa Sigurdarsdóttir, Arlidge, Peter Swanson, Mo Hayder, Fred Vargas, Val McDermid... I could keep on... :) Looking forward to learn about new writers and get inspirations in here!
Hi Kirstin.I am Stephen and I am fairly new to Goodreads. Due to Covid, I didn't get to ski in Trysil this year, so it's nice to hear from a Norwegian!
Hi Stephen - that’s too bad... but, if there’s any consolation, very few Norwegian were allowed to go up there either, just the locals... Let’s cross our fingers for a c-19 free winter in 2021/22!Stephen wrote: "Hi Kirstin.

Hello, my name is Manny. I am from VA BCH and am welcoming the warm weather about to envelope the coast. I am a retired teacher and working in the public libraries now. It has been nice to be able to enjoy my love of reading thrillers since I've retired! As a teacher, most of my reading was in the format of education - of course I enjoyed that too but there is nothing like reading Good Thriller and no papers to grade! :)
