Hello everyone! My name is Gary and I am an avid reader currently enjoying all the great recs I have found on Goodreads. Thanks to Tim for the group invite! This looks like an awesome group and I look forward to interacting with you.

[Tim The Enchanter]

Welcome Paige and Gary :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi new folks...I'm new to, LOL.

[Savannah]

Hi. I'm Savannah from Mississippi, US. My genre of books include anything from Dr. Seuss to Victor Hugo and all the bits between. Though I haven't dug into 'thriller' all that much, I do enjoy a good serial killer book, and I probably have every Tom Clancy book. Recommendations are welcomed anytime.

[Adam]

Savannah, try John Sandford. I reckon coming from where you do he'll be right up your street.

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Savannah, Gary and Paige

welcome, Tim, thanks looks like you are recommending us to your friends, it really helps us grow.

Savannah, authors for you with strong serial killers, SJ Bolton (our group read), Casey Hill, Lisa Gardner .

[Kandice]

Good Evening Thrill Seekers,
My name is Kandice. I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Last week, I quit my job so I can stay home full-time with my 22 mos son. I enjoy domestic life and obsess over entertaining (dinner parties) and crafting books. (Yeah, I know it's not 1955)
I especially love dark fiction. It's time I add some thrillers to my shelves :-)

Thanks, Lorrea. The festival I'm attending next week is the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville, VA. Yes, I've been to the National Book Festival in D.C. three times and really enjoyed it. My only problem with it is that you often have to choose between getting a book signed (if the lines are long, and they are always long for the most popular authors) and listening to the authors speak. However, I love D.C., so it's fun to go to that one. I might attend this year's. You get more face time with authors at events where you have to pay to attend, but then that gets expensive.

Welcome to our newest members!! Paige, Gary, Savannah, Kandice, and Taylor!!

Hey Savannah, I stayed up late last night finishing the serial killer novel The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen, which I enjoyed immensely. This is the first book I have read by this author, but won't be the last!

[Sean, Moderator]

Yes I must read more of this author and also Karin Slaughter !!

The Surgeon is meant to be very good.

I too stayed up late to finish my book The Innocent by David Baldacci (in Just Finished)

[Paul]

Hi group. I'm a new member,although i belong to several others on Good reads. I'm really enjoying reading other members reviews, writing my own & receiving recommendations from others.

I enjoy a number of genres, but i really enjoy a good, fast paced & immersive thriller.

I live in Auckland, New Zealand.

[Michele]

Hi Everyone,

I am in Florida and have just recently been drawn back to my first love, reading. I have started the James Patterson, Alex Cross series and I'm really loving it. Can't wait to start a new series soon.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Welcome to the group Paul!

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Welcome Michele....a few of us have started the Will Robie Series(David Baldacci- The Innocent, The Hit,and The Target) and Lee Child - Jack Reacher Series(there are a lot in that series the first one being Killing Floor).

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi and welcome. I'm fairly new to the group to.

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome,

to Paul, Michele

[Dee]

Hi everyone, it's nice to meet you all. As most of you, one of my greatest passions is reading. I live along the central east coast of Florida (sorry to all of you still dealing with the snow and cold) and am very fortunate to be living right in between a Barnes & Noble and a Books-A-Million. Fifteen minutes either way. Put it this way, I'm there so often that they've started giving me free coffees and pastries now and then. :) I love to read, but I also love to visit these groups to meet people and chat about what we've read. I find it fascinating how so many people can read the same book and get so many different opinions/feelings from it. Reminds me "What is one person's trash is another one's treasure". I look forward to our discussions.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

Welcome Dee!!

Hi Dee, welcome.

[Janet , Moderator]

Hello!

I'm Janet and I live in the Midlands area of the UK. I'm a busy mum, so time is always a precious commodity around here, (is for most though, isn't it?!!).

Have been an avid reader since childhood I guess. Enid Blyton was a firm favourite, and loved all my girlie comics and picture storybooks and annuals. Who remembers Jackie, Bunty etc? I suppose my love affair with crime fiction began with Patricia Cornwell, back in the early 1990s, and it's evolved since then.

I have fairly eclectic tastes, so I will read from most genres. My thinking being that a good book can be found in any genre. Least favourite genres I suppose are fantasy and sci fi. Will happily watch those but don't tend to read.

Some authors I've read over the years are Kathy Reichs, Clare Francis, Nicci French, Sophie Hannah, Tana French, Minette Walters, Jenny Colgan, Lisa Jewell, Judy Astley, Tom Sharpe, Kate Morton, Jilly Cooper, Jackie Collins, Phillipa Gregory, some classic stuff, honestly I could go on and on and bore everyone!!

The best thing about joining Twitter was discovering a whole new breed of terrifc crime fiction authors,interacting with them and discovering loads of new work. My problem is never having enough time to devour all the books I want to. Nearly 200 sitting on my kindle waiting to to be read, and I keep on downloading!!!

Hope all are well, and look forward to some interacting on here!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome to the group Janet!!

[Paul]

Hi all. I've already introduced myself, but thought i would expand on my 1st post.
I enjoy a wide range of different genres. Thrillers (as I've already stated) & all the sub-genres of that particular book type; psychological, crime, mystery, noir, hard case crime/pulp fiction. But in addition, i also enjoy history (both fiction & non-fiction), biographies/auto-bios, philosophy, sociology & many more.
Although i have a huge eBook library (5,500 titles & counting), i still prefer reading books in the 'old fashioned' paper format. I read & store my eBooks on my laptop, but am thinking of buying a Kindle. I imagine most of you own Kindles & i would appreciate user views; Advantages, disadvantages, pro's & cons, observations.
Some of my favorite writers are; Jim Thompson, James Ellroy,Richard Stark/Donald Westlake,Jo Nesbo, Dennis Lehane, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Truman Capote, Steig Larrsson, Patricia Highsmith, Ayn Rand, Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, James Lee Burke... phew! To name just a few. So many books, so little time.

Welcome to all my fellow newbies & good reading.

[Tim The Enchanter]

Welcome Paul. I have a kindle paperwhite which I love. It provides a great reading experience. As an added bonus, the kindle paperwhite is integrated with goodreads so you can check your favourite website between your reading sessions!

Janet, Twitter-resident here and also a thriller author. will love to connect @pattersonty67

[Ty]

Paul, i read on an iPad Mini using the Kindle app. i quit reading print a few years back and read solely on the device.

i read much more and much faster now. there are days when i can go through three 350 page books in one day. since i travel a lot, lugging around books is a non-existent issue now.

[Sean, Moderator]

Well maybe I am old fashioned, I like holding a book in my hand !!

Plus seems I am given so many books from friends, and plus I get a lot from the many charity shops, sometimes getting rare books.

Have so many books on my bookshelf, that it seems silly for me to get a Kindle till I have cleared these.

But I am sure they are good.

[H.D.]

Hi everyone! My name is Heather! Nice to meet you all!

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Heather,

If you would like mention your book in the authors posts and as I say will look at it for a future read around April.

Welcome, good to have another author as a member of our group

Hi everyone,

I'm Chris Kellett from Halifax in West Yorkshire and a Goodreads author. I've been a fan of thrillers for more than forty years. I particularly like intelligence related plots. I'm an admirer of: Len Deighton, Le Carre, Adam Hall, Alastair Mclean, Jack Higgins, some of Ken Follett, Erskine Childers, Hammond Innes, Desmond Bagley, Frederick Forsyth and Eric Ambler among British authors and Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy from the USA. I'm about to start compiling a list of the more recent authors I've read and enjoyed and will be putting this on bookshelf when its complete. I'm currently re-reading the Ipcress File, for the I've forgotten how many times, and still loving it.
