Hello everyone,

I started this group as a way to help self published authors and book lovers to discover new books.

Please feel free to introduce yourself. What book are you reading now?

I am a self published author but only one of my books is on Kindle Unlimited Yetunde: The Life and Times of a Yoruba Girl in London. I also host a podcast show http://www.segilolasalami.co.uk/subsc..., so get in touch if you ever want to be a guest.

I just finished reading a book by Gillian Felix called Changes.

I am currently reading Yetunde: The Life and Times of a Yoruba Girl in London by Segilola Salami.


T. K. Elliott (Tiffany) (t_k_elliott) My name is Tiffany... currently reading Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew which is brilliant (though slow going because it requires one to be awake enough to appreciate it) and Last Argument of Kings.

welcome ladies and thanks for joining the group, I have added your books to the bookshelf

I think I am going to give Immortal Peace another go. It was a bit slow starting but . . . something just wants me to give it another go

David Kummer My name is David Kummer and I write and mainly read horror and thrillers. My most recent book comes out on March 30, and I'm super excited.

Right now, I'm reading Louise Voss's books since I read all of Mark Edward's already. If you like suspenseful reads with lots of twists, you'd love Mark Edward's or Voss's books. They're both fantastic.

Cobwebs-Iced-Across-SpaceTime (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 1 comments David, I agree. A reader can't go wrong with either Louise Voss or Mark Edward, and they are also great co-authors.

What title of yours is releasing March 30? Congrats! Found it! Pre-ordered it.

Last eve I read A House in London [available KU].
Wow!! I'm a huge fan of Amy Cross, but here she's really surpassed herself. Straight on horror--surprised i didn't get nightmares.

Today I'll read The Vault, horror, KU


message 7: by David (new)

David Kummer It's called My Abigail. I'd say it's kind of like an Edward's book in some ways, except my main people are teenagers so there's no sex scenes or anything like that.

Here's a link to the Goodreads page if you wanna check it out.

message 16: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Morse MS Phd | 2 comments Hello everyone. I am looking forward to reviewing the book list as soon as it appears. I read about 5 books a week for reference in my own writing and often find a gem. I currently have one book in Unlimited which is undergoing a 2nd edition. My formatter tweeked it and I missed her errors. Not many, but I do strive for 'near' perfection. http://goo.gl/rUvXm4.

Oh, I am so proud to have won the 2015 Writers Digest 1st Place Award Best Self Published eBook-Inspirational. http://goo.gl/baZoky I have always been a fan of both Jane Friedman and Writers Digest. I recommend her tapes on both writing and book marketing.

And Michael thank you for directing me to this group.

Rusty Shumaker (rusty_knight) | 1 comments Good-day, I go by the pen-name Rusty Knight. But my given name is Kenneth.

I web-desktop publish under the company name, Inevitable Unicorn Press over at www.inupress.ca

I have two books on KU currently: Bloodgrue, Fare Where? and Bloodgrue, Breaths.

I write in the fantasy genre, my current project with my beta readers is a fantasy adventure novel titled Laret. Which is actually my first attempt at a full length novel at 72,000 words.

message 19: by Elle (new)

Elle Jacklee | 1 comments Thanks to Solafide Publishing for inviting me. Both of my middle grade fantasy novels (The Tree of Mindala and The Triad of the Tree) are currently available in Kindle Unlimited, at least through June.

I'm currently reading The Queen's Poisoner by Jeff Wheeler. Loving it, but that's not surprising since I'm a fan of all his work. The Muirwood Legends are my favorites!

message 21: by Charles (new)

Charles Mahoney | 1 comments Thank you for the invitation. Been on Amazon for some time, and recently added my books to KU. My third novel is due out in the summer, a mystery called In Defense of Knowing. Goodreads has been great not only as an author but to remember what books I want to read. Recently have finished older bestsellers like The Paper Chase. On my to read list right now I have The Bad Seed and a well written thriller called Deathwatch -- made into a movie, but an older book as well. As you can tell, I like older bestselling books. Story of The Ghost is my first novel that has made some lists on GR. It is first in Football on listopia (John Grisham's Playing for Pizza is #2 on it.) It's contemporary lit if you like that kind of stuff. Anyway, let me know if you want to talk or need ideas about books or writing tools, anything. There are a few Indie books that I could recommend. Thanks! Charles. cmahoney.strikingly.com

Chikamso Efobi (cheexy) | 2 comments Hi All,
Sorry for my late intro and thank you to Segilola for inviting me to this group. I am Chikamso Efobi and I have written an inspiring coming of age story titled, Twisted in a Positive Way which is available on KU and also currently on sale for £0.99 till April 02, 2016.

I am currently reading both Forgotten by Neven Carr and Eat Less, Live Longer: Your Practical Guide to Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition by Anca Lovita.

Both books are really good although I am finding it difficult to sit at a place to finish them simply because of the many other things I am juggling at the moment.

Dan Lawton (danlawton) Hi,

My name is Dan Lawton, and I write crime suspense thrillers. My first two books, Deception (June 2015) and Operation Salazar (January 2016) are both on Kindle Unlimited.

My third book is in the hands of a literary agency in NYC right now, as they are reviewing some suggested changes they had. Fingers crossed they decided to take it on.

Right now, I'm reading Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben. I recently finished The Light of the Fireflies by Paul Pen, which I highly recommend.

welcome Jordan

it's so cold in London right now, I wish I had a cottage in the scottish highlands. the cold makes the perfect environment to read a nice fantasy whilst sipping a tankard of hot chocolate in front of a real fireplace
