Hello, Fi! Good to meet you.

[Emma]

Hi Fi :-)

[Anita]

Hello Fi, welcome

[Chris]

Welcome Fi. New here myself...

[Pam]

Hi Fi. Having a cup of chamomile tea now!

[A.C.]

Hi, I'm new here, so just saying "hello". I live in Lincolnshire, UK. My reading taste is mainly horror. I grew up on King and Herbert with a sprinkling of Laymon (and I turned out just fine!) I do occasional read fantasy (I'm reading Game of Thrones book 2 at the moment). I write, too, and have just published by debut horror novel.

Nice to meet you all.

[Kath]

Hi, AC. Welcome aboard

[G J (Gaff to my friends)]

Welcome to the forum. The mug tree still has a few spaces on it, but the bacon in the fridge is all Patti's.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'll put the kettle on.

Welcome AC

[Anita]

Hello AC, nice to meet you.

[A.C.]

That's okay, G J. I'm a veggie anyway! :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh good another veggie.

More bacon for me.

[Anthony Deeney]

Hi All,

I am kindle reader in the UK and a self published author. I am a Mod on the Goodreads group, Support Indie Authors.

Don't worry, I am not here to spam! I consider that to be counter productive.

I just like the thought of chatting with some people closer to home. SIA keeps me busy enough, but I may drop in from time to time.

Look forward to chatting with you.

[Kath]

Hi Anthony. Welcome to the group. We're a chatty lot but we love our books - and our indie authors!

[Patti (baconater)]

Welcome fellow mod!

I know what you mean about being kept busy!

It's lovely though, isn't it?

[Anita]

Hello Anthony, nice to meet you, Kath summed us up nicely, welcome !

Yes, it is rewarding, but I feel the need to log in daily! I took a short break to a little cottage near Balfron, not far from Loch Lomond. I was only gone a long weekend, but found the mobile network was only "2G"; calls and basic texts only!!

No Goodreads???

[J.L.]

Hello

I'm Janet and I'm an Aussie. I thought I should just get that out there. I grew up in the UK but I met a nomad who insisted we get married, and then moved me out here. I get back to the UK as often as I can afford and still eat a full English on the weekends, black pudding is mandatory. Because I miss the lovely weather so much I usually manage to arrive in mid winter...if I'm lucky I pick the years when you have the worst snow! By day I'm a tax accountant...I know, boring and offensive, but someone has to do it. By night I do a poor impression of a mystery author. I do have published books, they are selling really well, but I am not going to push them down anyone's throat. I read books faster than I can afford to buy them but I don't leave reviews. As an author I think it would leave me open to some negative kickback whether I was saying a book was good or bad, so I prefer to say nothing. I love books that are funny. No one has a sense of humor that can match the British. Mystery and romance are probably the books I read most often. Anyway, I hope you'll let me stay, despite the fact that I am one of them, you know an Aussie. I look forward to getting to know you.

[Anita]

Hi Janet, you are very welcome to the group wherever you live or come from, look forward to getting to know you.

[Gavin]

Hello everyone

I'm Gavin, I'm from London, but now live in Dorset. I've been a photojournalist for over 20 years and while traveling with Greenpeace a few years ago, I decided to write a fiction book. I am now an Indie published author on Amazon and also have become a Kindle convert from books.

I like what I term escapist fiction which is anything well written that takes me away from real life. It doesn't have to be far away though, but just enough.

I also, for some unknown reason, find the First World War fascinating and moving and read fiction and no-fiction about it.

[Mai]

Hi all,

My name is Mai, I'm from stockport but will be moving shortly to surrey. I love reading. the types of books that I enjoy are; romance, thrillers, comedy. It just depends on what mood I am in.

[Kath]

Hello, Janet, Gavin and Mai. Lovely to meet you.

[Patti (baconater)]

Hi newest groupites!

You are very welcome here.

[Anita]

Hi Gavin and Mai, nice to meet you both.

[Read On!]

Hi
Thought I'd quickly say hello to everyone and little about me.
I used to be an avid reader until my early 20s, then a decade of partying took over and my love of books fell by the wayside.
Now in my 30s (with my partying days over), life has taken a turn for the worse and I have a lot of spare time on my hands.
December of last year I was in fear my brain was beginning to turn to sludge and thought what better way to keep it stimulated by rekindling my love of books.
My problem was I simply don't have the space for anymore books so I looked into what e-readers had to offer and decided to go for a Kindle Paperwhite. Best purchase I made that year!
I've never read so much. Since December until now I've read 45 novels and feel so much better for it.
My tastes in literature are very eclectic but tend to be mostly fiction. I usually look at what's doing well on the bestseller lists and buy something off them. Although I've been extremely impressed with the novels I've read off Richard & Judy's seasonal choice books.
Last week I read John Waters autobiography - Role Models and Denton Welch's In Youth Is Pleasure. I've just begun reading We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.
Well, that's about it from me.
I look forward to a positive experience in the partaking of this group :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Welcome!

[Kath]

Hi and welcome, Read On! Love the name. :)
Best advice here is get stuck in. We have a 'Morning' thread which many people check in to each day and there are readers and writers galore to give you recommendations. Make yourself at home.

[David]

Seems to be a while since I looked in here last, so I'll just say a big WELCOME to all those who've joined us since then.

[Read On!]

Thank you all! :)

[Anita]

Hello Read on, very nice to meet you. You are in very good company as we are all kindleaholics, there are lots of lovely people about so make yourself at home.

[Martin]

Hi, Martin from south Cheshire. I read all sorts, historical novels, some SF, thrillers, modern history..an eclectic mix, just as long as it's interesting and reasonably well written.

[Sharon]

Hi, I'm Sharon from Cornwall. I work in mental health and reading is my escape as my job can be stressful. I love being out with my dog Poppy and enjoying the beautiful scenery here. My favourite genre is crime

[Kath]

Welcome, Martin and Sharon. Get stuck in!

[B J]

Hello all you new arrivals. Sharon, I think I've greeted you in another group, too. Hello again.

[Anita]

Hi Martin from Cheshire and Sharon from Cornwall, I'm Anita from Yorkshire, welcome to the group.

[Alicia]

Before I say anything dumb, are people from the other side of the pond allowed in your club?

Hi. I'm Alicia. I'm just trying out Goodreads groups.

[David]

Everyone is welcome here, Alicia. It's rumoured that there are already members harking from Canada.

[Jim]

Beware of folk spreading unsavoury rumours

[Patti (baconater)]

I have never 'harked'. Always willing to try anything once, though.

Welcome Alicia!

[Lulu]

Hi haven't been about for a few years busy having babies :) so I'll start again

Hi im lu book lover wifey and mum

[Patti (baconater)]

Hey, Lulu! I think I recall you being around before!

Welcome back!

[Kath]

Hi Alicia and Lu - make yourselves at home. Pull up a floor. It's harder to fall off when people make you laugh, and they do here.

[Anita]

Hello Alicia and welcome back Lulu, exactly how many babies have you had Lulu ? We do love a baby photo or two or even three !
We are getting quite an international club Alicia, not only our dear Patti but we have members form Australia, New Zeland and most likely other places that I can't remember. You are most welcome and Kath is right we do laugh a lot, we are very good at it. Feel free to join in wherever you like, Skype calls on a Wednesday evening if you fancy it.
