Please Introduce Yourself, Let's All Get To Know Each Other
Hi TyThe food security book I want to read is The Coming Famine: The Global Food Crisis and What We Can Do to Avoid It by Julian Cribb. I haven't got it yet as I can't get it as an e-book in Australia. These silly regional rules are very frustrating. Because of where I live, getting to a bookstore doesn't happen very often so I mostly just get e-books.

Thanks for the tip. Just bought a bunch of books but will check out "You Pick It For Me" real soon.Patricia wrote: "Pat wrote: "Hi and thanks for the invite Sean.

Thank you for the warm welcome and yes, I have taken notes of various thriller authors you have recommended. I watched Gone Girl last month and got curious how it was written so I bought the 3 ebooks of Gilian Flynn. I read light thriller suspense books but I admire the techniques, page turner style too of Thomas Harris. Have a happy Sunday to everyone!
Hey everyone,My name is Yassemin known as Yas, I am a 27 year old student / lawyer from Birmingham, UK.
I like reading most genres however crime/thrillers being my particular favourite. Aside from reading, I like gaming and playing the violin when I get the chance (which hasn't been in forever since my exams started).
Look forward to getting involved in the group
Hello Yas, welcome to the group!! Enjoy!

Toronto is supposed to get snow starting in the late afternoon.
Sue wrote: "Toronto is supposed to get snow starting in the late afternoon."It's supposed to snow here from 4pm to 4 am. We may beat our all time record for snow fall amounts. If not today then on Wednesday when the next storm comes.
Yes the US east coast has got killed with the snow this year. Stay safe.

I'll get the hubster to forward me some pictures of his babies (cars) so I can post them. One is a 1968 Barracuda convertible, muscle car. Love it.

cool. i featured a Chevelle in my upcoming book.
'The elevator didn’t go down fast enough for him.
He left wind and the sisters behind when it opened, headed to a customized Chevelle, matte black, dark, and foreboding, just like how he felt.
The sisters piled in behind him and when he fired it up, it leapt forward and growled, daring any other vehicle to even blink its way.
New York City compressed and flattened, people disappeared, lights disappeared, just tarmac and him.
Everything else a liquid line that whooshed past silently.'
Cool, Ty, I look forward to reading it when it comes out.
Paula, we have family in Mass - Marshfield to be exact. The snow is beyond believable and is driving them nuts. It's not only physically exhausting (shoveling) but mentally (going stir crazy). Stay strong!
Rob wrote: "Paula, we have family in Mass - Marshfield to be exact. The snow is beyond believable and is driving them nuts.

I need some beach time with a good book.
Paula, where are you heading in Florida? I'm in south Florida, today is 81 degrees and sunny ;)
I'll try not to be envious... although I am. LMK if you'd like to read my book while in FL and I'll send you a free copy. One Last Lie You deserve it for putting up with all that snow!!
We'll be flying into Fort Myers and I'm trying to find a room in Punta Gorda near the beach. Rob, I would love to read One Last Lie. Love the title. You have no idea how much I hate all this snow.
Paula, do you want a paperback or e-book version? Either way, I'd need your email and/or address to send it to. I just got off the phone with my Mass relatives. She said it's impossible to even go to the movies. Piles of snow are so high there's barely any parking. Same with restaurants. She's ready to move!!
Paula wrote: "Rob wrote: "Paula, do you want a paperback or e-book version? Either way, I'd need your email and/or address to send it to. I just got off the phone with my Mass relatives. She said it's impossible..."I'm curious. How do they deliver the mail in this weather?
i'm sure we're all good folks here but always better to pm addresses.
You have to dig out your mailboxes so that they can reach them. Some people are not getting there mail because there is no way to get to the mailboxes.
Ty wrote: "i'm sure we're all good folks here but always better to pm addresses."That's a good idea, Ty. I didn't know we could do that here.
Paula: If it doesn't snow too badly here (just started - I live in CT), I will get your copy to the post office tomorrow!! Stay warm.

Now we have your address we can all pop around for tea !!
Sadly a long way for me though !!
Rob wrote: "Paula: If it doesn't snow too badly here (just started - I live in CT), I will get your copy to the post office tomorrow!! Stay warm."I'm in So. California and it has been raining for the past few hours. Looks like it is going to clear for awhile so the dog may consider going outside. We are obviously a little spoiled here.

Sorry Sean, we are coffee drinkers here. But you would be welcome.

Thanks
Mod
No problems, Paula, it's not a bad way to be, but your safety has to come first. Don't be offended but I've taken that message out, the world does not need to see your address!! If you can't get through to anyone you want to then PM me or find me in the group and I'll do what I can. :)

Hello everyone!Thank you for inviting me to this group. I'm Diana Anderson. I live in rural northwestern Mississippi with my husband and our Jack Russell Terrier.
My favorite authors are John Grisham, Stephen King, David Baldacci,and Harlan Coben. My favorite television shows are NCIS, Person of Interest, and The Blacklist.

welcome to the group, well already like you...
If you like Person Of Interest, Blacklist and David Baldacci and Harlan Coben.
All you have to do is read Simon Kernick and Tom Wood !
Hi Diana,Welcome. RE: The Blacklist - I'm usually not one for over the top shows like that, but I CAN'T stop watching it. If it can hold my interest for an hour, I'll keep coming back!

Not Read Jeffrey Archer yet !
Vince Flynn great"
I had heard that a producer bought the rights to "Memorial Day" by Vince Flynn but refused to..."
The first book I read by Flynn was Transfer of Power. I thought it was ingenious. I am sure he got that idea from some of his fiends in National Security.
