I'm brand new to the group and relatively new to Goodreads - I'm still getting to grips with things. I've spent the last 18 months rewriting my book Spellbound and re-released the new and improved version on 8th February as Death By Curiosity. I'm really excited for people to read it - it's a light-hearted crime mystery with a bit of a twist, and it was so much fun to write.
Happy to be here and see what's occurring :)

Burn House Publishing is an indie book publisher that loves to help writers become published authors! We love thrillers!

I am a Canadian, although officially I'm also still a Brit. I'm therefore bi-lingual (British and Canadian English).
I recently joined Goodreads to try to find kindred spirits or at least writers-who-think-and-write-like-I-do-only better (aka W-W-T-A-W-L-I-D-O-B.).
I do have a (humorous how-to) book in progress (several beta readers are plowing/ploughing their way through it as I write this), but it's not my intention to plug it here.
Yet.
Instead, I want to help my kindred spirits (or at least W-W-T-A-W-L-I-D-O-B.) by beta reading and/or reviewing their books. I believe in giving at least as much to as I take from any organization I belong to, and hope to continue that tradition at Goodreads.
My interests lie in humour in the style of people such as Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore, Douglas Adams, Alan Coren, P.G. Wodehouse, S.J. Perelman, and Stephen Leacock. Other influences include the Monty Python team and the "Blackadder" writers (Richard Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson).
I'm a Boomer with sixty-four years on-the-job experience, and spent thirty-three years of my working life in IT, the last few of them as a technical writer. For the last thirteen-plus years I've been running an event videography business, which I'm now in the process of winding down.
There. Duly introduced. I look forward to finding and helping my kindred spirits! (Or at least...)

If reading was a sport, I'd be a gold medalist over and over. I read about a book a week. My main genre at the moment is thrillers, but honestly I read just about anything. Once I start a book, I am committed to finishing it, so I got the idea (like many others, I'm sure) to try something new this year!
I am getting started on the journey to try and review all the books I will go through. I thought this would be a good place to get started as there are all sorts of books being mentioned that are not your "top sellers", which is exactly what I want!
I look forward to reading many of the books y'all have put so much work into writing. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas! <3

He’s the boy who wants to disappear.
One mistake and seventeen-year-old Shake LeCasse lost everything. Now there’s no going back and no way to move forward. The once-popular Varsity hockey captain is living in the basement of a grandmother he barely knows, ditching school, avoiding friends and working hard on self-destruction.
She’s the girl nobody sees.
Cleo Lee survives however she can. Lie, cheat, steal, whatever it takes, and saving Mr. Popular isn’t part of the plan. Telling him the truth about the night that destroyed his life is downright dangerous. She needs to keep quiet, be smart and let the guy she’s been half in love with since middle school throw away a future she’d do anything to have. Too bad she sucks at playing it safe.

I am a mad scientist turned Young adult Fantasy author. I am on the lookout for some amazing people to receive an ARC of my debut novel "The Spirit of Things" in exchange for an honest review on the books release date in April. Included within each copy is a little fragment of my soul which you may be able to redeem for lifeforce with the devil or whatever deity you may encounter.
Anyways hello.
How are you today?


My name is Megan, and I recently published my first novel, Fire & Ice. Glad to be part of the group!

Hello Squad!
I am on the lookout for some cool and open-minded people to review my friend's second book 'ALT-4-1'. The book aims to explore humankind’s relations with technology. ALT-4-1 is an inquisition into what it truly means to be human.
You can read more about it on Michael Occhionero's webpage
I have pdf copies of the book for whoever is willing to write some reviews on Amazon, GoodReads and Indigo.ca
Cheers and thank you in advance :)


I'm both looking for reviewers and inspiration, guidance and tips from the community but also hope I can assist with beneficial input.
Thank you all, have a nice evening <3

I am a retired accountant and I love hiking through nature or wildlife areas and photographing wildlife and landscapes.
Visit me, https://dianeisreading.blogspot.com/ Enjoy the day!

I am a supernatural/horror writer originally from the US now living in Spain, and it's great to be here, both in Spain and in this Goodreads group. Feel free to checkout my latest novel, The Shadow in the Mirror. I would be grateful to anyone willing to give it a review!
https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Mirror-...

I am a Goodreads reviewer for quite a while now. I would love the recommendations for the reviews.
I have reviewed many books which you can visit through my read list.Do connect or DM in case of ARCs reviews. I am open to all the genres.
Thanks

I am excited to be joining the group. I am new to everything as a new author and learning as I go.
I started this journey just wanting to give back and be a blessing. I want to help as many people as I can with some of life's challenges.
I had to find a way to share my experiences and inside knowledge in the mortgage industry. Give the public access to me as a mortgage underwriter & processing manager to ask questions. I decided to start with a book and eventually I will do a YouTube channel where I can share a lot of tips.
Please if I do anything wrong let me know.
Looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
Sincerely,
Kassondra

I love books, coffee, wine, my husband, books, my guinea pigs, fitness and books. Also, friends and family are pretty alright to me.
My favorite genres are all under the Literary Fiction umbrella (I think, not sure what Literary actually means...) I love descriptive prose, and books that tackle hard subjects. Contemporary, Romance, Mystery, Thriller, mix those all together and I'm a happy camper. Some of my favorite books include The Child Finder, All the Ugly and Wonderful Things, Beartown, Gone with the Wind, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and East of Eden. I also read True Crime, but had to take a break because it's made me paranoid.
I write reviews sometimes, but it's harder now since I've focused more on writing. Now I try to leave only positive reviews, three stars and up because being on the other side I know just how much blood, sweat and soul goes into writing a book.
I'm releasing my debut novel this year, and I'm so excited and happy and terrified about this. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Alright, enough about me!

My name is Leigh and I'm an avid reader!
I've just recently got into reviewing books but I'm absolutely loving it and would love to review more!
My chosen genre is Young Adult, but I am very partial to Adult Fantasy too.
I would love to review the books you have!

I have 2 books I would like more reviews for. There is a contemporary fantasy adventure set in southern Hampshire (UK) Shadows of Faerie and a secondary world adventure fantasy Exile. I can send you the Kindle compatible files. If these sound interesting PM me your email address..

Welcome and thank you for reaching out to everyone and offering your time. I'm actively looking for reviews of a mature YA romance, Shakespeare Burning. My book currently has 33 ratings and an average of 4.39 stars on Goodreads. I would be happy to provide a free PDF, Epub or Mobi copy for you to read. Feel free to message me here or at ugarps@yahoo.com. I'll hope to hear from you! I've included a brief teaser below.
Cheers! Charisse

My name is Grady P. Brown. I am an author who is diagnosed with high functioning autism. I am a connoisseur of the science fiction, fantasy, and superhero genres. In addition, I am an autism ambassador, hoping to demonstrate the potential benefits one can gain from being autistic. As a writer, I utilize my autism to visualize the story taking place inside my head like a movie. Also, I have a very strong memory, allowing me to store information about my characters and stories in my brain as though it were a computer hard-drive. I am also a passionate pit bull lover and own a pair of sweet and loving pit bull named Wally and Fitch, who I affectionately call "The Boo Bears".
I should warn you that even though I have been a member of GoodReads for three years, I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of the whole process. If I make mistakes that are frowned upon, I deeply apologize in advance.
I am self-published and I thoroughly enjoy writing stories, building worlds, and creating characters. So far, I have written and published three superhero books, two fantasy novels, and one giant monster novella. I also have a new space opera book on the way that is undergoing editing. Finally, I am currently working my fourth superhero book. Whoo! I have been super busy!

Nice to meet you. I have been writing for about three years & published 3 books so far (Foresight/Hunted/Vestige) . They are short fiction books that are fast paced of the suspense/thriller/action genre.
Feel free to check out my website to learn more about my passion and me as an author.

Dragon's Fire is an epic fantasy romance novel full of elemental magic, epic battles, and a developing passionate bond between the two main characters.


Hope everyone is staying at..."
Hi Claudia
I have a couple of books I would love more reviews for. There's a contemporary fantasy set in southern England Shadows of Faerie and a non-epic secondary world adventure fantasy Exile. If you like the sound of either one drop me a PM and I'll send you the ebook file.

I recently got back into reading and have been enjoying it a lot. I have started to dive into the world of BookTube and book blogs and would love to start reviewing some books of my own.
My favorite type of books are anything romance, sci-fi, and dystopias.

My type of books: *I only read FICTION*
-I'd preferably go for YA or NA but occasionally enjoy a good adult story, I just relate more to younger characters seeing as I'm 16.
-Preferred genres: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Dystopian, Paranormal, Romance and Contemporary and moreeee (I'm not picky)
-Most of the time there has to be a romance in the story for me to really like it.
Here are some (more or less) interesting facts about me to help you get to know me:
1. I would much prefer to stay in and read a good book over anything else you can think of. (I'm introverted)
2. Nonetheless, I also play right side for my high school volleyball team coming in at a whopping height of 5'9
3. I'm an INTJ/INTP, Scorpio rising, Libra sun and Cancer moon (if you care)
4. I'm bilingual but hate reading in French
5. I have strawberry blond hair and hazel eyes
5. I care a little too much about Dean Winchester
6. and finally, my favourite type of books are morally grey and push the boundaries of what's acceptable in a healthy relationship
So yeah that's it :)

Happy Reading! Charisse

My name is Suzanne Eglington. I write romantic suspense, steamy romance and some erotic romance. But my erotic isn't torture, it's just juicy bedroom scenes. I am currently rebranding myself as Suz Eglington. Easier to say and write in a hurry. I live in Massachusetts USA and I hope everyone is staying safe with this pandemic happening. I know people are going a little stir crazy being stuck inside, but for me, I was made for this. I love being home and now I am half way done writing my next book in my Tiffany Chanler Series. If you have a moment; check out my new website www.suzeglington.com I would love feedback. I built it myself while quarantined. It's nice meeting all of you and look forward to being included here. Stay safe.

Even if you've already introduced yourself in a previous thread, feel free to post again here.
