Hi everyone!I'm Roxanne from Canada. I'm a life-long avid reader and now that I'm semi-retiring and can get my nose out of law books, I am excited to have time to read and review more fiction books! I mostly write reviews on Goodreads and Kobo but am planning to start a Instagram account and perhaps even launch a YouTube channel to talk about my favourites. I read widely but my favourites are YA, Contemporary Romance, Literary Fiction, Thriller, Sci-fi, Fantasty and Horror. Honestly, there's not much I won't try.

Hi Roxanne. I have a couple of books I would like more reviews for. There's a contemporary fantasy set in southern England Shadows of Faerie and a secondary world adventure fantasy Exile. I can provide ebooks if these sound interesting to you. Drop me a PM with your email address.

Hi Lira! Welcome. This is a great group with lots of diversity in reading options. If you're interested in a mature YA romance intended for 18+ readers, I'd be happy to provide a copy of Shatter (The Choosy Beggars Series Book One). You cant contact me here or through my email (ugarps@yahoo.com). I hope to hear from you. Cheers! Charisse
I've included a brief blurb below:
First day of senior year and Tia West just ran over a hot guy in the high school parking lot. In her defense, she’s a little preoccupied as the caretaker of five younger siblings, one dog, one cat, facing a mountain of bills and determined to keep her family together. The eternal optimist, she just needs to try harder, be better, take a deep breath and definitely shouldn’t bring home another stray dog or an angry, scary and scarred boy who is obviously in desperate need of a hug.
After a stint in juvie, Taz is back for senior year, and every minute is a struggle. His only defense is silence. Keeping quiet avoids the slaps, hits, threats and is as close to safe as he can manage. Until Tia West convinces him of possibilities he never knew existed. She fills every dark, empty space with a lightness he’s never experienced before, and the only way to keep her is by speaking up for himself. But his secrets are the kind that devastate and destroy.

Try my book Lira I am seeking reviews please look past the editing errors(Covid has delayed fixing this). Here's the synopsis
A psychological crime short read about a disturbed serial killer/rapist who tries to find a life away from his domineering abusive mother who likes to control his life .
A young athlete is kidnapped and kept in an underground bunker. Her movements are watched by the anorexic rapist who pleasures himself by watching her muscles slowly waste away.
DI McIlroy and his partner DC Garvey are hot on the trail. They uncover the captive's hidden life and a profiler leads them on their search. A gripping story of sexual abuse and eating disorders and how a man's upbringing leads to him doing unspeakable things. Are the detectives going to catch him before he heads abroad seeking a life of depravity and pleasure?

Hello everyone, I'm very new here. Somehow, reading books has always been part of my life and I have kept my reviews and opinions about them all to myself after all this time. Time to change that.I am in the process of self-publishing my first-ever poetry book and will need help of this wonderful community to review it in the next few months.
I plan to be actively reviewing for others too, I always believe that supporting everyone in this process is highly important and beneficial.
Hope everyone is keeping safe and sane during this pandemic crisis. Take care and stay safe. All the best from Sydney, Australia!

Hello everyone! I am new to the group. I love to read romance;more so contemporary, paranormal and YA. I also enjoy psychological thrillers here and there. I have read for many years but just recently started my own blog (you can find the link in my profile) to have a place to store my thoughts (#crazymomlife) and awesome book reviews. I’m excited to be apart of the group!

Hello everyone, I am Damian Cy and I read and write werewolf stories. Well, I actually like many other genres as well but lately I've been interested in werewolves. If you have time and are willing check out my take on the werewolf genre, a werewolf horror novella titled, Human in the Dark. It presents the werewolf condition in a more classical sense, in that it is uncontrollable and dangerous, but at the same time, the book also draws parallels into our own nature and makes us think about what the human condition is. I would absolutely love some feedback on what you think about the book. Happy to answer any questions and reviews are very appreciated! I love to hear from my readers. It makes me a better writer!Human in the Dark

Hi Wish, I am Damian. Welcome to the community. If you like werewolf horror stories check out Human in the Dark. And get to reviewing! You've got to make up for lost time! :) Writing is awesome, keep doing it! And let me know when you are published.

Hi everyone: I'm Saxon Henry, a nonfiction writer with a new book out and I'm looking for people to engage with/review the book. Its title is The Modern Salonnière and it contains 35 essays that combine my passions of travel, reading, and creative writing. I'm also looking for more connections here on Goodreads. I look forward to being a member of the group.
Hi, my name is Katarina. Me & my friend I have an IG account @life.couch where we write reviews of books (and some other stuff) but only in Croatian language. Since I started to buy and read more in English, I will try to also write more. Would love to hear everyone's recommendations and maybe get a chance to ARC a few books here and there. Hope you have a nice day!

Our most recent books have included The Round House by Louise Erdrich, Chicago by David Mamet, and Rose by Martin Cruz Smith. Upcoming we have Where the Crawdads Sing, and Three-Fifths. I often post reviews of the things we've read and would welcome suggestions from other readers here.

Hi, everyone!I'm Scarlett. I'm a romance author from the UK, also a librarian by day, not to mention an avid reader and sometimes reviewer :)
Hope everyone is safe and well.
Hi folks, nice to be here. I am a first time self-published author looking for reviews(aren't we all). My novel is hard to chatacterise but I will quote a previous review from goodreads to help sum it up. 'It's funny and quirky with the odd bits of "ewww yuck" thrown in' I would descibe it as a dark fantasy/comedy with a bit of light-hearted horror thrown in. The story revolves around an inbred family of travelling undertakers who find themselves endowed with a 'bargain basement' form of immortality after being contracted to gather souls for Satan.
I'm not sure how this group works yet but can provide a PDF for review or it's free on KU, or I'm willing to swap reads and reviews..
