Hello All

My name is Neil Carstairs, as an author most of my work is in the speculative fiction market. I've been around Goodreads for a while, mostly over in the Review Group, but thought I would dip my toe in the water in this group.

[Kath]

Welcome, newcomers. If you join in, you won't feel strangers for long.

[Name]

Thanks Kath for welcoming, Be blessed!

[Anita]

Welcome to both of you

[Emma]

Welcome all newbies :-)

[Kate]

Hi :) I'm Kate, I mostly read horror and thrillers but have been using the Kindle app to expand my reading horizons.

[Patti (baconater)]

Hi!

[Anita]

Hi Kate, welcome aboard a lot of us have done the same since getting Kindles.

[Kath]

Hi Kate. Welcome aboard! I'm the same. I now read most things - except romance and erotica!

[Pam]

Hello and welcome to all recent arrivals.

[L.A.]

Hi fellow readers. My name is Lindy and I am a reader of almost anything and everything in addition to being a creative writer (short stories, flash fiction, novels, etc). I live in the sunny south of England near the coast and I never tire of walking along the beach promenade and watching people enjoy themselves in the sand and sea. My favourite novels include 'We Need To Talk About Kevin', 'A Fine Balance', 'Wild Swans', Captain Correlli's Mandolin', 'Room', .... I am currently reading 'A God in Ruins' on my Kindle, 'In the Heart of the Sea' and 'The Color Purple' in paperback in addition to writing my second novel.
In my previous life, I was a nurse/midwife in the NHS. I know you want to know what I drink and the answer if very little as I have a low tolerance - I've always said that I am on a natural high but I do write from my darker side so maybe it lurks well hidden. I look forward to conversing with you all about books, reading, etc. If you want to know more about me you can find me as a GoodRead's author (L. A. Berry)

[Kath]

Hi Lindy! Welcome to the gang. To get the most out of the group, scroll down the threads and see what conversation takes your fancy. Then chip in!

Thank you Anita. I will have a look at the conversations tomorrow and get chatting.

[Mike]

Hullo everyone. I'm Mike, from Australia but an Anglophile with special interest in British colonial history and writing set in "The Indies". I have a blog with a recurrent post on writers festivals in the Asia/Pacific regions - you can see it at mikecoppin.wordpress.com. I look forward to seeing what's happening with Kindling in Britain.

[Patti (baconater)]

Welcome aboard, Mike.

The Brits will be along to greet you once they've woken up. And had a cup of tea, of course. First things first, doncha know.

[Jim]

Yes, by now some of them will be up but not down

[Anita]

Hi Mike, welcome to the group.

[Kath]

Hello Mike! (G'day?) Make yourself at home.

[Rachel]

Hey I'm Rachel :) not new to goodreads just figured I need to be more active in the book groups I'm part of on here :) I'm a bookaholic and trying to read as many books this year as I can!

[Kath]

Hi Rachel! Welcome to this amazing (and easily distracted) group!

[Anita]

Hello Rachel, welcome to the gang

[Pam]

Hi Rachel. You could always start a thread in the group challenge area where some of us are recording what we are reading/reviewing ;-)

[Terence]

Hello from Rossendale, Lancs.
As a young boy I haunted the local library and I've read and collected SF and Fantasy for many years. This has left me with a burgeoning paperback collection of over 1500 books.
Enough of the reading, I also write. Mostly in genre. I've an author page knocking about somewhere.
Favourite books. These change over the years but I have always had a soft spot for Philip K Dick's Galactic Pot-Healer

[Kath]

Welcome Terence! Get stuck in. :)

[Anita]

Hi Terence, welcome to the gang

[Patti (baconater)]

Gang. Hehehe.

We need someone to choreograph us a dance number/knife fight.

Volunteers to knit us matching leather jackets? Kath can quilt them for extra warmth and Emzabubbles can cross stitch our gang insignia on the backs.

Welcome!

[Anita]

Welcome Georgina, make yourself at home.

[Georgina]

Thanks Anita.

Philip K Dick's Mary and the Giant one of my all-time favourites.

[Kath]

Morning, Georgina!

[Terence]

Georgina wrote: "Philip K Dick's Mary and the Giant..."
Never read that. My collecting days came to a halt in the 80s - It's likely I'd have picked it up if I'd spotted it in my various trawls of the local WH Smith, (not a bookshop but what do you expect in Burnley?)

[Terence]

Georgina wrote: "Never been to Burnley!"

You've missed nothing (unless you're a follower of Championship football - the club's supporters have an excellent manager in Sean Dyche).
The valleys in and around Burnley have close to ¼ of a million popn - but no bookshop. 10 miles east into the Pennines, Hebden Bridge, popn 5,000 has 3! Work that out! Anyhow, it's no good griping if the business isn't there.

[Mrs Helen Holland]

Hi I'm Helen from Lancashire England. I was bought a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas and I love it!

[Kath]

Hi, Helen. I'm from Lancashire too but I have to whisper it. Lived in Yorkshire for 45 years!

[Anita]

Hello Helen, great to meet you. Pleased you are enjoying your paperwhite, they are very addictive.

[Steve]

hi everyone, I'm Steve Higgins from Manchester, I'm a writer and blogger.Floating In Space: A novel set in a vanished world: Manchester 1977

[Kath]

Hi Steve, and welcome. I'm from Manchester originally, though I married into Yorkshire.

[Steve]

hi Kath, sorry to hear you 'defected' to Yorkshire! only kidding! Thanks for the welcome, best wishes, Steve

[Kath]

I came here as a bride - I was a casualty of the war of the roses!

[Steve]

i noticed in a post above you've been there 45 years so looks like you must have settled down ok!

[Kath]

I gave up trying to escape!

[Anita]

Hi Steve, welcome.

No trying to pinch our Kath back, we like her just where she is, in Yorkshire !

Look forward to getting to know you Steve.

[Anita]

You are most welcome Linda. You live in a beautiful place, I used to visit every year when I was younger. Angela Marsons novels are excellent. You must go on to read the next two in the series! I think they just get better and better, really looking forward to the next instalment.
Please feel free to make it yourself at home, join in wherever you like.

[Kath]

Hello Linda! I agree with Anita - Angela Marsons gets better! have you tried David Staniforth's two psychological thrillers, Imperfect Strangers and Void? Very good - and he's a member here too.

[Anita]

Oh yes I forgot David's books, we have so many wonderful authors you don't know which to read next !
