[Elaine]

Ciao everyone!
I'm a Goodreads new author and have posted three of my kindle books on amazon.
My first, Florence and Me, recounts my 5 years living in Florence, Italy in the '70's. I, a girl from Brooklyn, fell in love with the city and tried my best to become a true "fiorentina". My experiences with learning the Language and the new lifestyle were often comical, as I did my very best to fit in.
The second book in my ..and Me Series, Turin and Me tells of my life in small town in the province of Turin. Now I'm marrried with two adult children and after leaving my beloved Florence, I had to learn all over again a still new lifestyle "alla Piemontese!
Just to keep in theme my latest book is Keep Your Shirt On, 360 Do's and Don'ts for Travelers in Italy.
I would appreciate it if someone would like to review my books. I'll send PDF copies or mobi ones on request. Look me up on Goodreads for my email. Elaine Bertolotti
PS All my books are around 60-70 pages!!
Thank you in advance, Elaine

Hi, I’m Paul. I’m from the UK, Yorkshire in fact, but I live and work in Albania. I’m an author/reporter and have some books on goodreads. I like to read travel narratives, suspenseful (but not gory) thrillers, and books that give good food to the soul.

[Doug]

Hi, I'm a horror short story specialist that is just now getting my stuff out to the public. I have quite a few stories that will be realsed over the course of the next month or two but I wanted to get some attention to my first story released in hopes of finding a small base as I move forward.

[Tori]

Hi, I'm Tori. I'm making an effort to widen my horizons on GR, particularly in the UK groups where I particularly enjoy interacting. From a reader's perspective, I enjoy a variety of books. I don't stick to one specific genre, but there are definitely certain genres I avoid. As a writer, my genre is mystery/suspense with a flavour of romance. I'm currently in the process of finishing the sequel to my 2013 novel Either Side of Midnight. Good to meet you all.

[Grace]

Hello I'm Grace and i'm new to this group. I live in Rome, Italy and write Italian romance. I'm working on my second book to my Italian Politics (the Billionaire's Affair) entitled Breakup. It's nice to meet you. Grace

Hi, my name is Carl. I am a new author and have just written and published an Adult Fiction book that combines Adult Romance with the paranormal. I'd love to get to know other authors and fiction readers. Drop me a note and lets chat.

[Amanda]

My name is Amanda Meredith and I am an author and avid reader from the USA! I have self-published 3 books so far, have another one coming out at the beginning of 2015, and am working on a children's book series as well. Here's my published books: Dark Mountains, Irish Strength: The Irish Treasures Saga Book One, and Irish Heart

I've been married 11 years and have two children. I live in a tiny town in the middle of corn country in Central Illinois. I also like to ride horses (all disciplines), go for drives with my hubby on his Harley Davidson, play acoustic guitar, sing, cook (usually inspired by something on Pinterest), fish, hunt, and hike. I also blog about writing at the Writer's Ramblings Blog. You can find it here: http://authoramandameredith.blogspot.com

I'm always interested in getting some reviews for my books, Q&A/author interviews for my blog, and reviewing for other authors!

[Richard]

Hi everyone!

I just joined this group and wanted to introduce myself, I'm Richard and I run a book review blog: www.internetbookreview.com

It's only been around a few months and it's a work in progress (as all blogs are!) I'm always on the look-out for reviewers and authors. I hope to connect to both in this group.

[M.]

HI Amanda! Your books sound good and your pinterest cooking resembles mine. I stay away from that site if I want to do something OTHER than cooking.

[Eeva]

After more than a year of freelance and ghostwriting thousands of articles and dozens of eBooks , I finally made the decision to begin publishing my original work under my own name.

I am a happily married, successful career woman, writer and executive assistant. These are the labels that define me. I’m a lover of the written word and express myself best through my writing. I find that my passion lies in sharing the wisdom I gained from my life experiences, in the hopes that others will find value in my work. Most of my upcoming eBooks are in the Non-Fiction, Self-Help categories.

What made me come to this decision?

Just a year ago, my mother died and it was quite a life changing event for me. The ground I stood on remained shaky for a while there. Losing my mom made me reassess my life and look at it for what it really is.

I had to ask myself: What's really important? What am I doing? What do I really want my life to be? It was a soul searching moment and I'm fortunate that I had my husband and my siblings with me during that difficult time.

Writing, to me, offers the opportunity to share life’s hard earned lessons. Those who are walking beside us in our journeys serve as our guides. We need to listen to those people so we can learn from their valuable experiences, and apply them to our own lives. These pearls of wisdom, passed from person to person, are like secrets that need to be handed down on so that the wisdom will live forever. That is our immortality.

Hello! :)

My name is Nicola and I'm from the UK. I mostly read and review YA fiction. Looking forward to meeting some of you!

[Chris]

I'm an author wanna-be. I read more than I write, and I'm here to learn and enjoy. I read crime, thriller, suspense, history, romance and mixtures thereof.

I am happy to review any of those genres for anyone.

[Evan]

Hello, my name is Evan Shapiro. I'm the author of Road To Nowhere, a satirical, genre bender of a book. Part science fiction, part murder mystery, it's an irreverent, absurd and at times gritty ride down the road to nowhere. I'd love get some reviews so please send me a message if you are interested in reading it. Naturally feel free to buy it, but I'm open to offering copies for review.

[[deleted user]]

Hey. I'm Carl, nice to meet you! My first novel, BLACK SANDS, has just been published for Kindle. It's a thriller, but if you like high-tech fast-paced crime with a hint of something that could almost be science fiction, then this may well be for you. BLACK SANDS came out of two research projects I worked on, one for Reuters called: 3d metaphors for financial data visualisation, the other for the European Commission called Insemtives, or Incentives for Semantic Annotation. Please, just bear with me on that - they're way more interesting than they sound!

People know about cybercrime these days. They know about Stuxnet and Storm, and SCADA and Flash Crashes. So the question is - what's next? I heard Michael Learner ask Nicolai Bren that. He asked in Yekaterinburg, while they drank cheap vodka and watched as strippers wrapped themselves around poles. Robbing banks is so twentieth century. He said that. I heard him say it.

So, again. The question is - what's next?

Black Sands

[Erica]

[James]

Hi guys. My name is Roy and I'm new to the group. I run a small publishing company called Books of the Dead Press. We do horror stuff, which is probably not what you guys like to read. Oh well. You can make fun of me if you'd like. I can take it.

[Readcharlottehughes]

Hello,
Charlotte Hughes, here, just now finding my way around Goodreads. I am back after a long break and excited to be writing again.

[Jovana]

Hello everyone. My debut romance novel Forever in Hollywood is being release by The Wild Rose Press Feb 2015 so I'm here looking for reviewers and bloggers interested in contemporary romance. I'll be posting on the Authors looking for reviewers thread soon, but feel free to contact me if you'd like an ARC.

[Graham]

Dear all. My name is Graham Meltzer. I'm looking for reviewers of my new short book. I'm also new (to writing in this genre (whatever that is) and to Goodreads. It's a true story of a post-modern love affair (mine). There is a little graphic sex but none of it gratuitous, I hope. I am after some honest feedback so as to know whether and/or how to promote the book... Deepening Love, Sex and Intimacy: A True Story

[Theo]

HI I'm an author engaging in the dubious practice of BSP (blatant self promotion). My book, A New Day in America, (Jan 21) is a father-daughter apocalyptic survival story-- pretty badass with plenty of empathy and pathos along the way. I'm hoping to spread the word and find more great books to read/review myself!

[Kyion]

Hello, everyone. My name is Kyion, and I'm new to both this group and Goodreads. I recently published my first novella, The Perfect Son, and I would love to hear what you all think of it. It falls within the thriller/suspense genre, so if that is your area, by all means, take a look! ^_^

[David]

Hi, I'm new to the group so though I would say hello :)

I'm pretty new to reading books but now I have a kindle app I'm catching up on missed opportunities.

I would love to review some books, I like to read books from new authors as I like to see how their work progresses from one novel to the next. I've not left many reviews yet but I'm ready to be honest and hopefully enjoy a few books at the same time

I'm mainly a sci-fi / fantasy person but willing to read anything as I'm hoping someone might open my eyes to some works I might not have necessarily read.

[W.E.]

Hello, I'm W.E. I just had my first book published this past October and like any new author I'm anxious to find out what readers think. The book is titled GUARDIAN OF PARADISE, and may be considered a cross genre between historical adventure and romance.
Guardian of Paradise

[Ashley]

Hello everyone!

My name is Ashley. I loved to read for as long as I can remember and have loved writing for almost just as long. I don't necessarily have a favorite genre. If a book sounds interesting, then I will give it a fair chance.

I recently published my first book for Amazon Kindle. It is titled Not So Bad. It would probably fall under kind of a drama genre, but there is a little bit of romance mixed in as well.

Not So Bad
