[R.L.]

Hi everyone

I am a writer who has just joined the group and is pleased to meet you all :)

[Richard]

Hi everyone.

I was a reader long before I became a writer. While I write paranormal horror, my reading tastes are a bit more eclectic and I'm always looking for something new to read.

[Akshara]

Guys,

I am planning to start a book review blog. I would love to feature the reviews of your novels on it. Do let me know if anyone is interested!

Thanks.

[Kassandra]

hi, my name is Kasandra.

[Ana]

Hi everyone!
My name is Ana. I'm from Portugal

[Bar]

Hi, I'm Bar from Israel, and I'm trying to get better with reviewing the books I read (Aka, I'm trying to stop being so lazy!).

[Mirta]

Hi everyone! My name is Mirta and I've written a memoir about a Jewish, Russian , Argentine, American immigrant. The back story is a bit unique; my father worked for Pan American Airlines- I wore out 5 passports before the age of twenty-two!

I always knew I had at least one good book in me. My unique background has been the ideal conversation opener on numerous occasions, including many awkward, social affairs, yet I never could get pen to paper… until the advent of a job promotion. Being the “new kid on the block,” I was once again, prompted to explain where I was from…you see, it’s my name- Mirta; the great ice-breaker. The series of questions that inevitably followed led me to explain how a “white girl with blue eyes” speaks Spanish, has Russian grandparents, and is Jewish. In between trying to settle down in a new office and adjust to new responsibilities, my co-workers pursued their line of questioning…Jews in South America? How did that happen? When they learned that my husband was from Argentina as well, they were enchanted by our long distance romance. One question led to another until one woman exclaimed, “You should write a book!” When, a few days later, she insisted that I review an article about self-publishing, my creative juices began flowing. And here it is:

With Love, The Argentina Family: Memories of Tango and Kugel; Mate with Knishes

[Cora, Tea Party Princess]

Oh wow, new people! So many new people!

It's gonna take a while for me to get through you all!

[Ray]

Hello,

My name is Ray Martini, new author of "The Death of Leadership" which tells the story, by real life examples in my 47 years career, of how Political Correctness and CYA have replaced real leadership in business and government.

I would love for people to give me some honest feedback, since this is my first book.

It is available on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Nook.

Thank you very much,

Ray Martini

Hello Ray,

I'm new here myself, but when you say 'in the box' do you mean on your profile? You need to create an author profile and locate the book by it's ISBN/ASIN number - mine took a while to show up so I had to do it manually. After that you should see a 'add book/author' link on top of your posts, and it should appear. Have a look for 'setting up your goodreads author profile on google - you should find all you need. Hope this helps!

The Dimension Scales and Other Stories

[Ray]

Thanks Garry,

I have the picture of the book in my profile, guess it just needs time to update.

[Ray]

How do you get a review in here ?

Thanks,

Ray Martini

[Peter]

Hello to all. My name is Peter Healy and after forty-years of teaching I decided to fulfill a life-long goal of writing a novel. It is a work of historical fiction, but also crosses into love, suspense/thriller and the paranormal. The title is "Vengeance Is Sacred" and it just received a very favorable review from Kirkus Book Reviews. If anyone is interested in reading/reviewing the story please contact me. Good Luck !

[S.]

Hi, everyone is welcomed to add me as a friend. I don't mind doing a swapsie by putting your book in my to-read list. That way there will be more exposure to your book. Welcome all! (Not that I have been here long myself though :) )

[Yara]

Hello! I'm a new author in the Adult Contemporary romance. As many of you, I work all day and enjoy creating new worlds and characters inside my head at night. I am in dire need of reviewers, so I am looking around in Goodreads trying to find some groups that share my interests. I will be posting information about my novel, Unavoidable, in the Author folder. If this is something you would like to read, please take a look. Have a great day!

[Jim]

Hello all - my name is Jim Breslin. My novel Shoplandia released last week. The stories are inspired by my 17 years as a television producer at the home shopping network QVC. It's a novel told through stories from the perspective of show hosts, producers, and crew members. If you'd like to review, please let me know. jimbreslin.com

[Cornelius]

Hello everyone,

I have released my first children's titles as ebooks and would like to hear what you all think of them. They are for children aged between 7-12. If you have an iPad, you can get the apps that contain fully animated scenes straight from the imagination of the characters as they sing. The sheet music can be found on Addisonstales.com, where you can find more characters who are patiently waiting for their story to be released. In late summer/autumn, the Addison's Tales digital book label will be launched with the help of app, audio book and print distributors - something that has taken nearly 6 years of work from many artistic people including musicians, animators, illustrators and a little old writer from the town of Calladin. So, if any of you have children in this age group, or are in this age group yourself, please take a look at my author's page and post a review of a book of your choosing so that when Wivern Digital, an indi digital publishing house producing Addison's Tales, officially announces the label later this year, people will be able to see a review of some titles around the net. You can even like the page to see how the 3D animation for the next approduction is coming along:

Many happy returns from the town of Calladin!

[Charlotte]

Hello
My name is Charlie Caruso, I am from Australia. I have just co-written a book titled Understanding Y, which is currently available in Kindle Edition, (Paperback due in July). I would love to get involved in this group, possibly have my book reviewed by fellow book lovers, and also review other books.

Understanding Y is a book that sets the record straight. I was so sick of the media spin and hype about "how different/lazy/entitled Gen Y are" - I decided to do some research to better interpret these "misunderstandings". I'd love some honest feedback/thoughts

[Lola]

Hi!
My name is Lola Smirnova. I've recently published my debut novel "Twisted" - http://www.amazon.com/Twisted-Lola-Sm... and would love to get some reviews. Please let me know if you're interested...

* * *
In the corrupt economy of post-Soviet Ukraine opportunities are scarce. Young and eager sisters – Natalia, Lena and Julia – harbor dreams of a better life. Naïve and tempted by the allure of ‘quick’ money, the girls set off on an adventure that changes their lives forever.
Can they stay out of trouble enough to fulfill their ambitions? Can they hold on to their idealism in a world where depravity and danger are constant companions? How far are they willing to go to make a buck?
TWISTED is a true life shaped into fiction story of vulnerability, courage and the art of making a living in the sex trade.
* * *

Thanks and best regards,
Lola :)

I have a new book coming out in 3-4 weeks where I interviewed best-selling business and self-improvement entrepreneurs and will offer a synopsis of it next time I post if that is acceptable to the group. I'll be happy to offer a review copy to those who may be interested.

Other than that, I hope everyone is well and I look forward to contributing where I can :)

Good morning everyone! My name is Amber. I'm 26 years old and hail from tennessee usa home to moonpies and country music. I love to read and write book reviews. I started writing book reviews here on goodreads last summer and started taking read for review requests from indie authors in december of last year. I get books from many different genres and do give them an honest review. I've checked out books from authors such as L.K. Evans, Ty Patterson, Steven Freeman, Brian Smith, Ted Galdi, Tasha Lessey, Susanne Leist, Sarah Makela, and Tina glasnek to name a few. It's fun and I enjoy reviewig the books I finish. Had an author want me to review a book cuz she found my reviews sharp and insightful. I thought that was cool. I used to be on the best reviewers list on here too. If anyone needs their book reviewed, pm me and ask me about it. I'll be happy to check it out when I get a free chance. Other than that, I love to write stories on goodreads, watch anime, listen to music, watch movies, go bowling and have fun. My fave shows are big bang theory and once upon a time. Fave color is ocean blue, fave author is sherrilyn kenyon and my fave actors are robert englund and matthew broderick. It's great to meet you guys and i hope you enjoy my book reviews! :-)

Hi everyone Well My name is Bryan. I am a 32 year old father of five three step kids two all my own. i love to read and my wife told me about goodreads and well one thing led to another and here I am. I am still adding books to my shelves i have been reading since i was around 7 years old for fun and I am 32 so there are so many books i have read its hard to remember them all. Books to me are a gateway to a world much better than the real world we live in a getaway from the hum drum realities of life and a way for me to set my mind free.

Unsettle the Score

Hello Reviewers' Group--
I've just joined Goodreads as an author and am learing my way around the site. I recently published UNSETTLE THE SCORE, a thriller that has been getting some good reviews from readers and from KIRKUS REVIEWS. It is part of a BOOK GIVE-AWAY until June 20. Would love to get some reviews from this group. Thanks to any and all who look.

It is available on AMAZON as a hard copy of Kindle.

[Janet]

Hi everyone! I'm Jan and new to this group, new to Goodreads and a fairly new author. I have two books on Amazon "Drop Dead Killers" and "The Last Cowboy." "Cowboy" is a fictional biography about my great grandfather. I don't have enough info on him to make it a true biography. It's more a love story between him and his wife and certainly NOT a western. "Killers" is my newest novel and the only one on Goodreads. I'm currently working on a sequel to "Killers" and a fantasy about a teacher who acquires the ability to make her students behave. If there are any teachers out there, you know why I call it a fantasy!

I would really love to have reviews of "Killers" and am willing to reciprocate. I can provide a PDF version or you can get the book on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N as a paperback or an ebook. Please contact me at jan.martinez1953@gmail.com if anyone is interested in exchanging reviews. I usually read mysteries and thrillers, but also like historical fiction. I'm not interested in romance novels. Sorry.

Thanks!!

[Amber]

Welcome to the group you guys! There's a gr group called a good thriller and a bunch of thriller authors hang out there. Def chek it out. :-)

The Claims AdjusterHi ya'll! Let me say first that I LOVE to write. But, promotion of my book really is confusing. Wow. I have spent countless hours reading internet blogs and articles telling me how I can buy this and do that and even pay people to post Amazon reviews.

While I do realize that Amazon sales are driven by reviews, can anyone tell me of an honest and simple solution to paying for reviews?

I believe in my book, THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER, and I have received good reviews away from Amazon. But, alas, Amazon sells my book and their reviews make me $$.

[Jerome]

I doubt that paid reviews will help -

rich guys hire agents to promote their work -

the rest of use use tools like Goodreads -
