Goodreads Reviewers' Group discussion
New to the group? Introduce yourself here (3)
Hi. I'm John. I'm new to the site. I've written three novels and am well into the fourth. I'm in the process of learning the many steps involved in self-publishing. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and thought I'd reach out. By the way, my wife is Canadian, does that count?
Hey everyone. My name is Brandon. I'm an author (here's a link to my novella "Nobody Looked At Their Phones" http://amzn.to/2GLEWaf ) and big sci-fi and graphic novel fan.
Nice to meet you all
Hi everyone.I'm another 'new to the group, new to goodreads' person. My name is David, and likes a lot of people here I've just released my first book, a short story collection full of horror, sf, fantasy, and magical realism (you can find it here getBook.at/NightAlphabet). I'm hoping to find some interesting things to look at here.
Hi Everyone,I'm new to the group. I'm a retired elementary school teacher (30+ years). I have written a series of four juvenile science fiction/fantasy books which I believe will also appeal to teens and young adults. The books relate the antics of Sophie, a snooty Siamese cat, and Max, a mixed-breed mutt. Through the use of magic chants and mystical crystals, the animals travel to other dimensions where they transform into their human counterparts. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Sophie-Max-Ant... and download it free tomorrow, Sunday, April 6. I would really appreciate reviews.
Hi.Am new here.
I would be happy to give you a 5 star rating on Amazon …
And an excellent review for a book of yours…
If you do the same for me.
Regards.
Hi Everyone,I'm Melissa, from Jamaica and the Author of the novel, Anna Bell- The Sometimes Loner with an Unbreakable Spirit.

You can read for free in Kindle Unlimited.
I'm welcome to all honest reviews and feedback while doing likewise for others.
Hello there!I'm a YA fantasy author, my first book being "The Helm of Darkness" (War on the Gods, #1) which is a fantasy adventure with lots of Greek mythology.
I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time (I'm insane, I know) and I'm trying to find readers who would be interested in reviewing my debut novel. I will post the details for that in another discussion.
Hoping to meet new people in the reader and writer communities!

Hi RumBa,
Would you be interested in reviewing children's books? You can respond here or PM me.
Hi readers and writers,I'm Dave, a writer of YA novels and stories (ten published so far, although it's taken me 25 years), and a reader of all kinds of stuff (including YA, even though I'm definitely no longer a YA myself). I have a new novel coming out June 1, and I'd like to get it reviewed eventually, but I understand there's a way to do that, and I'll work with whatever the protocol is. After the dust settles, I'd like to look into doing some reviews of other writers' work also.
Hi Everyone,My name is Mike Dixon. I was born in the UK and lived in France and South Africa before moving to Australia as a young guy. I started my career in astrophysics, worked for a while in Canberra’s Parliament House, became a science journalist, entered the diving industry and built a backpacker resort. I’m now retired, in the sense that I no longer need to work for a living. This gives me time for travelling, reading and writing. My genre in mystery thrillers.
I write as H.A Dawson so the GR profile may confuse. I removed most of my old books from Amazon and began in 2017 to publish my new material. I have lost any track of whether I've introduced myself. I'm a no nonsense person so everything is as brief as possible!My current portfolio consists of 26 complete "Women's Fiction" books. Genres: Psychological mystery-suspense-thriller. I publish them as soon as the individual cover graphics arrive.
My 8 books on Amazon.

Hey, I'm Finn. I'm a self published author who has been procrastinating on getting reviews, but I'm finally introducing myself here so that's progress. Yay! I write queer YA fiction and am partial to comedies, romances and happily ever afters. When not reading or writing, I like dogs, TV, and desserts.

Hi everyone, I'm Angie and i'm an avid reader/audiobook listener. I love anything true crime and I seem to listen to audiobooks now more than ever. I'm in the car all the time so listening is so much easier. I can't wait to meet new people and start writing reviews again.
Hi! I'm Lana Campbell, author of the Forever and a Night vampire romance series. I not only write paranormal romance I love reading it too. I'm hoping to find PNR readers and reviewers for my books. I have four in the series published so far. I consider my books Christian paranormal romance because there is a thread of spirituality woven into each story. The books aren't preachy.

Hi all! I self-published my first book, The Distance Between Dreams, in December 2017. I am now working to share it with the world and building up reviews seems to be what's needed to get it out there!
Being an voracious reader is what got me started on the path to writing, so two years ago I quit my "day-job" in marketing and became self-employed!
I love hiking, wine, yoga and my dog. :P

I'm looking for reviews (exchanges OK) for my intergenerational love story, "Angelika." The plot involves a 40-year-old teacher at a prep school with whom an 18-year-old German exchange student falls desperately in love. Their backgrounds, particularly in regard to sex, are very different because they grew up before and after "the pill," respectively, which leads to serious misunderstandings and awkward situations that ultimately bring the story to its inevitable conclusion. Tx! David Bennett Laing
Hi, Sherry Brown and David Bennett. Both of your books seem interesting. Can you take a look at my books too (Magnetic Reverie and Reverie Girl) and let me know if you would be interested to read them? As I may not see your answer here, feel free to DM me. All the best, Nico
Nico, "Reverie Girl" takes my fancy. I'll get myself a copy of it, and read and review it if you'll do the same with "Angelika."Best,
David

I have a few reviews already. I would love to have yours.
Hi everyone. I just joined from Kyoto, Japan. I've been writing for several years but only this past winter published my first two novels. I'm a real babe in the woods as far as all this promoting goes, so any suggestions on how to get reviews most appreciated! I believe there may be a few (hungry?) authors in this room willing to share their experiences with the review process. I hope I'm in the right place :)

Welcome. But when I Compared books with you, I got the message, "Your tastes are 0% similar for the books you both rated," so unless you have read a lot of classics and mainstream novels you haven't put up or rated, I'm going to leave you to the tender mercies of others. You're my first 0%, though it was based on only two books overlapping, so it's not that important a statistic. But I'm still chuckling.

Hello Everyone!I've been a member of this group for years, and now I update my fellow authors and readers that since last summer I'm proud to call myself a USA Today Bestselling author, since my collaborative efforts to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research resulted in this honor.
I write gripping romance novels and would love to have more reviews from any readers who enjoy this particular genre. Here's the link to my Amazon author page with the four novels I have out so far: https://www.amazon.com/Gloria-Silk/e/...
To celebrate my launch of Nobody's Baby But Mine I've got some great sales on for a few days. The first one (First and Only Destiny: deeply romantic YA novel) is free for a few days. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N7VTCE4
The others are all at 99cents for a short while.
I'd be glad to reciprocate by reading and giving an honest review for the agreed books of like minded romance authors, If you're interested please DM me. See the current reviews from all platforms and here on GR.
And, of course, as always, all romance readers/reviewers welcome.
Thanks again, USA Today Bestselling Author, Gloria Silk

Hi All, I've had a Goodreads profile since last year but found it quite overwhelming, so I'm giving it another go. I write contemporary and paranormal romance, and have a strong desire to connect more with my readers and leave more reviews for other authors. I have several books on Amazon that have performed pretty well but I would really like to step up my SM game. Below are links to just a sampling. Cheers!Abby
