[Eleanor]

Hello everyone
My name is Christine, I will be publishing my first novel (The other side of town) in the very near future, it's currently with the final reader. I have decided to publish under the name of Eleanor Smythe with an e. Eleanor being my middle name and Smythe gave an interesting ring to my surname. Apparently there is another author with the name of Christine Smith to, so it seemed like a fun thing to do. Although now it seems to have its own complications. Which name to use and when, fortunately I have a sense of humour and can ride the waves. I'm looking forward to connecting more with this group and sharing our journey through books. I've never been great with social media stuff but I'm having to learn fast. I have a Facebook page for Eleanor Smythe and a blog which I intend to update in the near future. will keep you posted.

[Poise]

Welcome on board Christine, I'm a newbie in the group too. I hope you have fun here. Hoping we get the goodies that comes with the group :)

[Glenn]

I feel like I'm in an AA meeting here. lolz. Anyway, my name is Glenn, and I hate books. Well, I don't really. I mean I hate books that suck. So, I wrote and published a book that contains over 100 of my scathing book reviews.

It's called Glenn Hates Books, and I'm currently looking for reviews for it. Be warned, it has plenty of unnecessary profanity. Enough to choke a horse.

I also write fiction. You can find sample chapters of my first novel-in-progress at killingeveryday.com.

This got our attention! 100 books you hate. Well, there ARE lots of them that certainly are NOT worth the time. But that's why THIS is GOODREADS! Good luck! NC &:) San Diego, CA

Glenn, I just bought your book. I might regret this. In fact as an author I might feel like a rat reading a vermin-contol handbook.

[David]

Hello everyone! My name is David Scott and I published my first novel, The Longest Distance, last June. I am fortunate to say that it has been recognized by Living Now Book awards with a silver medal.

I am currently learning the ropes of Goodreads and look forward to meeting new friends, engaging in meaningful discussions and enjoying the journey with each of you.

[Cat]

Hi Everyone,

I'm an author of Demography is Politics.

http://www.amazon.com/Demography-Poli...

I'm fascinated with how politics affects demographic change. My argument is novel in that I postulate that political marginalization increases fertility. I would love to hear comments on the book. It's the culmination of research done in my three masters. It's not just a boring academic piece of work - I also have fun, stories that illustrate the ideas from Genghis Khan to discussing Teen Pregnancy.

Would love to have a reviewer or any ones comments.

[Ubong]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ubong Ekpo and I'm one happy man looking to help others discover life goals and enjoy life on the way to them.

http://www.amazon.com/R-T-Motivation-...

http://www.amazon.com/If-can-Just-Foc...

My journey to who I am and what I wanted to do with my life had a major turning point in 2007 when I followed my intuition and decided to focus on growing people and teams through speaking, training and consulting which then converged into my writing and now I just can't stop. I've done talks and speaking engagements, helped grow teams in Europe and the US, positioned hundreds of people in careers and put it all together on my website here: http://yubibillion.com.

One of my favourite sayings is "If you can't see a future. you won't have a future!"

A few weeks ago I published my first book in English as an indie author (I am looking for reviewers :D)

I am somewhat of a freak when it comes to "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", these are my most favorite stories :D

[Tom]

Hey everyone, I’m Tom. I’m a Los Angeles based author, and would love to have anyone review my debut novel, “Aftermath.” It just broke onto the best seller list on Amazon for “dystopian.”

The story is a post-apocalyptic dystopian actioner, which follows a 16-year old girl’s struggle for survival in the wake of civilization’s collapse, and humanity’s domination by an alien race of beings.

I’m calling it “Hunger Games” with aliens.

I just published it, so I don’t have an author’s page on Goodreads yet. But here’s the Amazon page:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VD66QYO

It’s 99 cents right now, but I would be happy to gift you a .mobi copy. Just email me at
LawDude158@gmail.com.

[Paul]

Hi, guys,

I just released my first novel (after a few nonfiction books). I want to get back to work on my second book, but I feel like I need to get the word out on this one, so I'm searching for reviewers.

Hi guys,
I'm Damian Cloud and I am a proud self published author of two young adult novels as well as a Slytherin alumnus. Just like many of you who have joined the Goodreads Reviewer's Group, I too am looking for readers who will happily review my books. However, I'd like to think of myself as a generous individual, therefore, I will be accepting reviews from starving indie authors looking to get their art read. All I would ask in return is for you to say, thank you.

[Ty]

Hi I'm Ty. I'm the author of Venessa's Hope. I've been writing all my life, but mostly short stories.

After one particularly bad week, Roy had gone home, locked
himself in his bedroom and composed a long letter to an organization called Amnesty International. He’d seen an advertisement in the morning newspaper and having read most of the text, had come to realize that this organization was able to help people who had been ‘victims of torture.’ He wasn’t entirely sure what a ‘victim of torture’ actually was and why the sad looking man in the photograph was one of them, but he was quite sure that he, Roy Nuttersley, more than qualified.
The letter now sat crumpled up, lonely and unread at the bottom of Roy’s sock drawer. It had taken a full two hours to compose.

Dear Amnesia International
My name is Roy Nuttersley and I couldn’t help noticing your excellent advertizment in my dad’s newspaper this morning.
I think you would be very interested to know that I am also suffering from torture. But unlike the unfortunate man in your advert, I am only 11 years old. So I think you would agree that I am a very young victim indeed. Anyway the person who is doing all the torturing stuff is a horrible boy called Harry Hodges. But I should menshion here that Harry’s dad is a professional criminal who at this moment is in prison. So I would perfectly understand if you preferred not to take any acshion.
How ever, if you are feeling very brave and would like to take up my cawse and help me, you can contact me at the address at the top of this letter.
I wait for your reply with great antisipasion. Yours sinserely
Roy Nuttersley
P.S. I am happy to be photographed free of charge for any future adverts.

Roy was quite pleased with the general thrust of his letter but couldn’t help feeling that an organization that had the word ‘international’ in its title wasn’t one that would very readily give its time to a victim suffering in the relatively comfortable surroundings of a primary school in the United Kingdom, rather than deepest Africa or Eastern Europe. And for this reason the letter had found its way into the sock drawer and had remained there ever since.

Hello there, my name is Alex Pearl and the above is an extract from my young adult novel 'Sleeping with the Blackbirds'. If anyone would care to review it, I will happily send the e-book. And, of course, return the favour.

Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sleeping-Blac...

MANY THANKS,
AP
