Dana Nielsen | 2 comments Hello all, I'm Dana and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I spent a year living in California where I found the absolutely most amazing bookstore and spent a lot of time there when I wasn't working.
My reading tastes seem to be all over the place but my favorite have always been mystery and thrillers. Any good suggestions on books?

Thanks!

If you like a thriller, maybe a family saga/gangsters. Try 'Stalking Aidan' by J.M Shorney.
From the time of his release from prison, when his only desire is to re-unite with his nine year old son,Aidan is pursued by the people who vowed to get even after he shot a member of their family while minder to a gang boss. When his 18 year old sister is murdered,he takes revenge,

Titas | 184 comments Hello all, I'm Titas and I'm from Kolkata, India. Since childhood I am a bookworm.
Though I have tried to roam in many genres, my favorite have always been crime, mystery and thrillers. It can be legal, murder, adventure or more.

Skye | 636 comments Welcome, Titas; we all love the same genres ( and others, as well).

Hi Dana, I don't see Karin Slaughter on your shelves. Try Blindsighted, first in her series. Also, Now You See Me by S. J. Bolton. You may also like books by John Sandford.

Jose Calero | 3 comments Hi. My name is Jose. I live in Barcelona (Spain). I am 42 and I have always been a reader, i do not understand life without books. I love long/thick books. I never buy a book that has less than 500 pages (it is an obsession). Apart from books I love video games, and films (specially horror movies).

Sherri Ashburner (sherriashburner) Hi Everyone!

Thanks for the invite Sean, glad to join. I am a New Englander, born and bred, living on the Connecticut shoreline. I worked at a well-known local bookstore for a dozen years, left that and have just started my own book blog called backseats and airports--what to read in noisy places.

Can read just about anything, but LOVE thrillers--especially:

Sophie Hannah, Tania Carver,Harlan Coben,Chevy Stevens,Tana French,and am currently obsessed with I Am Pilgrim...

Here is my blog's website if anyone cares to subscribe/check it out: www.backseatsandairports.com

OK, back to reading...

Sujith | 4 comments hi all!

i have recently joined goodreads. and just now found about this group.

i live in sri lanka. my hobbies are reading books and watching movies. i also like to travel. and i'm also addicted to cricket.

i like crime/thriller novels very much. and i have been reading only translations until the start of this year. so i'm still checking out about the good authors and books. goodreads have been a big help so far. and i believe that this group will also be a big help.

looking forward to read more and more!!!

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 652 comments Really, we're friendly... Ignore the torture chamber in the cellar. The chains and manacles in the corner are simply....conversation starters, yeah that's it conversation starters, no big deal. We're as friendly as they come really, we are...NO DON'T OPEN THAT CLOSET!!!!!!


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) | 5101 comments Don't mind Mike and Sue - they're on weekend leave. The nice men in white coats are coming to reclaim them later today.......
The rest of us are quite normal (twitch, twitch)

Dawn G | 692 comments Hi,
I live in Delaware and have worked in the juvenile justice field for 30 yrs. My favorite pastimes are loving my 2 dogs, reading dark crime thrillers, making jewelry and riding my harley. I love Jo Nesbo, Jeffery Deaver, Karen Slaughter, Mo Hayder, Robert Crais, Karin Fossum to name just a few. I read every spare minute. Based on the posts here, this does look like a very friendly group of people and I look forward to being a part of it.

Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 652 comments So, you make jewelry. What kind? I do leather work. My wife and I used to make book marks out of ribbon, beads and charms before she passed away. I stopped after that, though I do still have quite a bit of the material we used. I mostly make knife sheaths, belts and so now.

Hi Dawn, I LOVE your favorite author list! Lots of derangement in those books! I am also a big fan of those type authors. If there is one book I shouldn't miss, what would it be?
