[Stephen]

Hi everyone, I'm Stephen Cohen, self-published author of the "Blue Ring Assassins" series. Historical WWII fiction laced with true events.

[Dan]

Hi, my name is Dan Adam. I'm currently serving in the military but should be retiring after 24 years of service later this year. I plan on writing full-time from home when I retire. I recently self-published my first novel through Amazon. The sequel to that novel is currently being edited and then I will begin looking for an agent to help me with publishing and distribution.

I am also working on a third novel which is planned to be the conclusion of my trilogy, but I'm struggling to find the motivation to write it. The second novel was super fun to write as it is set far into the future and allowed me to ignore any potential limits that current technology would've imposed, but it also had a lot more action in it.

The third novel is starting off kind of dry for action and I guess that may be the reason for my lack of excitement for finishing the last book, but I'm not sure.

I'd like to grow my circle of friends and followers and ultimately get a bigger fanbase for my work. I initially set a goal of 12 books to read this year, but have already finished two, so I think I'll greatly surpass that goal.

[Olivia]

[Thomas]

Hello! My name is Thomas J. Thorson and I have to confess that while I've belonged to Goodreads for a few years, I've been more of a lurker than contributor. I'm hoping to change that. I've published four mystery novels in a series (listed on my author page) with the fifth one coming out this summer, and will be looking for reviews later this month. Nice to meet you all.

A fantasy fiction following a young mage as he is sent to battle a dragon, but discovers dark secrets about the mage guild itself along the way.

I’m having a lot of fun with it!

Hi! I'm Sanne, an American living in Sweden with my partner and our adorable menace of a cat.

It follows the (mis)adventures of a young mage who suddenly has to navigate a tangled web of secrecy when her father goes missing. There's witches, fey, and even whispers of mystical dragons.

Hello everyone! My name is Diamond, and I am an author of diverse genres. My adoration for literature runs deep, and I cherish opportunities to immerse myself in fresh, thrilling, and captivating tales. My love for reading has led me to start a reviewing journey where I share my thoughts and opinions on the books that I have read.

[【Ｓｔａｒｓ ａｔ Dａｗｎ】]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dawn and I am a voracious reader with a talent for finding typos. After rekindling my love for reading during the pandemic, I was ecstatic to see how independent and self-publishing has really taken off and would love to give back to the community as a beta reader, but I'm also happy give honest reviews.

[J. L.]

Dawn, (we kind of share a name!) if you might be tempted by a historical fantasy, I've just launch a series of three books and hope to build a team of keen beta readers/reviewers. The book is The Queen 'neath the Hedge and, if you check out https://amorrie.com you'll find chapter and audio samples and a promo video. I can send a link to whichever platform works for you, if you think you'd like to help hone the series.

[Rachel]

38 years old married no kids. Last year I read 24 books all year and set my goal to 50 for this year and I just finished 118!

Listen to audio books while working, e-books and physical in the morning and at night. Just discovered ARCs and have discovered some great authors and books.

2023 has been the year of me going in blind to a book. I've noticed it makes the mysteries more mysterious, the romance more romantic, the suspense more suspenseful. It's been a joy and I might keep it up past 2023. Romance is the only genre I need to read a little about before I read (lots of tropes that aren't my thing).

I shy away from reviews that just vomit a recap of the entire plot (hinders my going in blind year) and try to shy away from doing that myself. I don't take myself too seriously and appreciate the short, quick, to the point reviews that let me know how you really feel.

[Haley]

Hello, everyone!

I'm an author of a YA Dark Fantasy series, Elementas. I have 2 out of 6 books out, Elementas: Yamay and Elementas: War of the Gods.

But I also recently just did a beta read and review for an author's debut book, and it was a blast!

I read basically any type of fantasy, but prefer dark/grimdark. I don't like the taste of spicy books, so sorry for that. A little romance is fine, but I prefer the adventure.

I base my "stars" on how gripping the book was for me. Was I willing to put it down? Did I stay up too late? Is all I wanted to do was keep going, neglecting food and water?

[Stephen]

Hi! I'm Stephen. I write romance under another pen name, but I am starting from scratch with this new penname for my new middle grade books. I can't wait to meet everyone!

[J.]

Hi all,

My name is Jannick and I've only recently stumbled upon Goodreads. I'm a father of two girls with a third on the way:)
My dad introduced me to all kinds fantasy and sci-fi, like Friedman, Zelazny, Tolkien etc., and so I've read many of the classics.
I'm an aspiring author so I will probably within the next year or so ask whether anyone here would be interested in reading an ARC of my debut dark fantasy novel with elements of horror, thriller and sci-fi. I will make sure to do it in the appropriate way.

Hi Rachel! Good job on finishing that many books in a year! You mentioned that you've discovered ARCs as a way to read potentially exciting new books.

[Webilor]

Hi All,

My name is Webilor Ediale and I'm new to Goodreads.

I'm a new children's book author and would love to connect with other authors and readers.

My book TINEY TINY TURNER I FEEL DIFFERENT' which can be found here: https://mybook.to/TineyTinyTurner is about a mixed-race boy who is born Tiny (therefore disabled) and different from his peers.
It is a book which focuses on diversity and inclusion of children with special needs and is written to help our kids develop their self-confidence and self-esteem by teaching them to embrace their uniqueness, be it curly or afro hair, white, black, slim, short etc. It focuses on the truth that we are first all people who hurt, cry etc and eventually, all want to be loved for who we are.

[Jerri]

Hello everyone!
I've been an Indie author since 2011, but haven't really interacted on Goodreads in forever. I have written over 20 books, mostly historical romance, but now I'm trying to reach a different genre of readers, epic fantasy. I have a series, Chronicles of the Ordained. The fourth book in the series is coming out later this month. It's offered on Kindle Unlimited at the moment, but that's about to change. I am looking not only for reviews on the series but to reach fantasy readers. Please reach out to me if you're interested in reading the series and reviewing it, beginning with book one, The Oath.
Have a lovely day! Look forward to connecting with you.

Jerri Hines

[Julie]

Hello, I have been reviewing on Goodreads for about 10 years. I have over 750 reviews and 2k ratings. I have been an ARC reader and book blogger for a few months. I havebook blogs on social media https://www.facebook.com/fortwaynesto... and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/story.book....

I review books from NetGalley and independent and self published authors as well. I have an account with bookfunnel, but will accept books from other sources as well.

I am currently seeking children's books. Picture books will be reviewed within the month. longer children's books will have to sit on my wait list, because I am already swamped. My other favorite genre is Mystery and I also like YA, Graphic Novels, Manga, Fantasy and Science Fiction.

[Laurie]

Hello, everyone! I'm Laurie Woodford and I have two books coming out, both of which are being published by small to mid-size presses. My travel memoir, UNSETTLED, will be released on January 2, 2024 and my romantic comedy, ANITA FARLEIGH UNPACKS, will be released very soon. I have galleys for UNSETTLED and will soon have galleys for ANITA FARLEIGH UNPACKS.

[Maniksha]

Hi everyone! I’m Maniksha, a teacher and a poet. I love reading and always consider myself a reader first and an author second. Although I have been on Goodreads for some time, I haven’t been able to be present here properly. But now I hope to find fellow readers and authors and talk about books.

[Tai]

Hi everyone, I am a middle grade fantasy author and I thought I'd join the group and see if anyone wanted to review middle grade novels.

[Howard]

This is Howard from the Seattle area. I would label myself as a photographer turned author. For years I have been travelling around Washington state shooting its iconic landscapes and ghost towns and selling them online.

Based on my favorite locations, I put together my first book, The Seven Wonders of Washington, and self-published it on KDP. A few months ago, my second book, Abandoned Washington State, was published by Arcadia Publishing.

I am currently working on my third book, Abandoned Idaho.

[Lux]

Hiya! I'm Lux Lucerne, a small indie author. I'm writing a fantasy adventure slice of life series called "Cafe Luna Seasons of Adventure." I currently have two full novels and a short side story published.

The slice of life elements focus on romance, food, and pets. For the romance aspect, I wanted to write about a couple being in a relationship, rather than just the typical process of falling in love. My books explore them trying to communicate and understand each other, moments of tender love and compassion, supporting each other through hardship, and overall accepting one another for who they are.

Food is something that can carry a lot of memories of the past with it, reminding us of simpler, happier times. It's also something that brings people together in the present. Dining together is a mundane yet profound act. Through doing so, we can share memories of the past with each other, helping us to understand one another and form bonds, even elevating the food itself. Food also gives us the strength to face tomorrow, paving the way for future generations, our ways of life passed down---our spirits kept alive in memory.

Then pets... they're our fluffy friends filled with big personality! They can be very simple, yet there is much we can learn about life from them.

I'm currently looking for reviewers, so if you're interested please consider signing up to my mailing list! You'll be able to receive all my books for free.
