[tonya_with_an_o]

Hey there! I'm Tonya. I'm from the coast and I love the ocean. I'm in my early 40's. I'm married to my second husband, and I'm in recovery from substance abuse. I have nearly 3 years of clean time. I am an animal lover, and have recently started to rescue them. My husband and I have a dog, 11 cats, and a 450lb pig. I've been a voracious reader all my life. I love a good Thriller, but will also read any book from any genre if it holds my attention. Nice to meet you all.

[Tristan Robin]

Hi, Tonya. I'm fairly new here, too. Welcome! A 450 lb pig, huh? I'm guessing you don't live in the city. LOL.

[Krystol]

Hello All! So excited to join you. I am currently a corporate career woman for a large commercial insurance company and I also run a small dairy goat farm and soapery. Needless to say, my days start at 4 and don't end until almost 9 pm so the few minutes I get to myself each day I use to unwind with a nice glass of wine and a good book. I like to alternate between a heart-racing thriller and then historical fiction, keeps me balanced LOL but nice to "meet" you all, and looking forward to engaging through the group. :)

Hi Guys,
I am not new to the group but have not been on here for a while - two years. I have been traveling and have had family issues. For a while I did not feel like reading.. no book interested me. The past two weeks I have read Janet Evanowich “Plum Spooky” .. not yet finished I am reading Nora Roberts
The Stanislavsky Sisters” - a old one! Just finished John Connolly’s “The Dirty South”, this was not a real thriller. It was kind of depressing which I thought did not really describe “The South” although I had thoughts of Texas when I was reading it (just got back from that area).
I hope to find more books in the Historical Fiction categories soon. Any suggestions???
Paige

hi Jim and Thomas

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome new members, and thanks for introducing yourself.

I retired September 17th 2021, yes 2 months.

Now really mentally and physically enjoy life.

63 years old, but playing more sport than ever.

Tennis twice a week, Padel Tennis twice a week, now snooker once a week, if time allows

Plus volunteer at Jersey Zoo/Durrell Conversation as a ranger, so walk quite a lot.

Then I work as a volunteer at Jersey Animal Shelter, one a week, walking their dogs, walking come running, climbing.

As well as above, always busy in the garden, reading every night till late.

It sounds good because it is.... As you say "You must give a try", as I am sure many do want to!!

I was waiting so much to retire, many friends said, NO you will get bored !

I don't have time... More films, more series.... Long walks

No early mornings !

Enjoy the group new members

Jim, for you it will be slowing down !

Just sadly the loss of one of our four cats passing away, RIP Buddy

Congratulations on your retirement, Sean.

[Bruce]

Hi, All,

I’m Bruce, and I’m one of those infamous Florida snowbird retirees; my (also retired) wife and I spend winters in South Florida and summers in Connecticut. We both love to read, as well as watch TV, so the “stress” of being bored due to retirement (7 years from full-time work) has not been a problem, lol. There’s always something!

[Bruce]

Btw, I suspect this has been asked (many times) already, but what exactly is a “thriller”?

The question occurred to me because I saw several references to books and authors in what I’d regard as the “crime” genre (which seems to have correctly replaced “mystery,” as so many these days focus on the villain as much as on the protagonist, so there’s no “mystery” about whodunnit).

So IS there a difference between thriller and crime, and, if so, what is it?

[Sean, Moderator]

Thanks Christine

And Welcome Bruce

Thrillers, Crime and Mystery Thrillers... Enjoy the group

[Bruce]

Thank you, Sean. And welcome to Retirement.

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome Lynn and Sharon

I have retired last September and read 11 books short of my total of 70 last year.

Found I was so busy doing so many things, but started well this year.

On book 5.


Hopefully would be nice if new members went to the "10 Random Facts". on our home general posts, add 10 things about yourself.

Maybe also join in with the groups "pages" books read.

Enjoy and please do join in

[Marco]

Marco from (one of) the Low Lands here. Devoted thriller fan, pretty much everything I read has a thriller element in it. Hope to find some new stuff and interesting people/opinions here. See you around. :)

[Angela (CATS]

Hello. My name is Angela. I'm 45 and have been an avid reader for most of my life. I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I also have a passion for cooking but I do not read cookbooks. Lol. My list of books read is unfortunately very short at the moment because I somehow managed to lose my Goodreads account and had to sign up all over again. I will have to bring that back to life but I've lost many reviews. My favorite books are psychological thrillers, thrillers, crime fiction, mystery and historical fiction. So, that is my very brief introduction. I do hope to find some great reading suggestions and hope to contribute some of my own too. The last book I read was Verity by Colleen Hoover and wow that book still has my wheels spinning even as I read my next.

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome Marco and welcome Angela

[Tuesday Louise]

Hi! I’m so happy to be here - My name is Tuesday and I’m from the UK. I’ve had some readers block the past few years, but as a teen I always had my head stuck in a book! This year I want to reignite my love of reading and explore different genres to see what adult me likes - so far, thrillers have been my fave. Would love to get some book pals on here with similar book interests 😊
