Hello to Everyone from AbhinitaI am a new bee to GR and still wandering around. I love to read fantasy, thrillers & suspense/mystery. I also love travelling and enjoy being a foodie!
I am a big Harry Potter fan and also like Dan Brown!
Recently, I have taken the plunge and published my first book under the pen-name : Jagriti
I look forward to be an active member in this group. Until then Happy Reading!
Thank you Kath! The pleasure is all mine. I have been following the group conversation for some time and its been the most active and lively so far! It's nice to meet you all.

We certainly did! Old fashioned Pork Pies! I make them 4 at a time and the dicing of the meat takes ages! Two for the freezer and 2 to cook. With the proper old fashioned jelly they are amazing even if I do say it myself,
Oooh! Sounds appetizing! And am sure it must be. Not a big pork fan myself! ...Traditional recipes have a soul of their own. I normally substitute with something else!
Hi, Im new to Goodreads, so slightly lost and nervous but wanting to get stuck in right away and get going!!!!! I read pretty much anything but mostly romance and paranormal so hoping by joining a group like this is gives me the chance and opportunity to read and try new things!!!
Really looking forward to getting started and stuck in with you all!!!!

Welcome Caris, there's loads to do so jump right in and enjoy.
Hello Book Fans,Here is my book:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXF5BJL
It's a story of love, family, tragedy full of philosophy and emotions. I promise this is something totally new. You've never read anything like this.
I understand, that it is not that easy to buy a book almost without any reviews. So, if you want to read it, just mail me at irynkaa88billy@ukr.net and I will send you a free sample.
I would really appreciate any reviews left here and on Amazon.
Hope to be heard.
Thanks,
Iryna
Hi there....100% new to Goodreads so VERY daunted by the whole thing!!!
I live in Dorset and I can confirm that storm Doris has officially hit. I'm trying to work on my second novel and the wind is DEAFENING.....
Really looking forward to joining in the discussions...
Welcome Jonathon. Enjoy. I spent 2 years in Lyme Regis so I know that Dorset is a great place. Used to love standing on the stone and concrete breakwater and watching and listening to the waves pile in either side of me. Probably wasn't very sensible in hindsight, but amazing nevertheless!Good luck with the writing.
Thank you......I live on Portland and can just about make out Lyme Regis (great fish & chips) on a clear day.
Today is not a clear day. Rain is horizontal!
Hi Jonathan. I live in Devon. I guess you've got the rain we had an hour or two ago. Horrendous. Sorry to say it's eased a bit here but still pretty unpleasant and very windy. Good luck with the writing. :)
Thank you. It does seem to have eased a bit. But unfortunately that will mean stopping writing to take the dogs out...

Hi Jonathan. Welcome to Goodreads. I'm rather new here, too. I live in Bath, Somerset, and the rain here is also horizontal. lol

Thanks Chris, the rain does seem to have stopped, but the wind is picking up. I think tonight could be a 'howler'.
Love your phrase 'Inspirational buildup'. That's exactly how I feel when I have a bit of a plot breakthrough. Can keep you up all night - just need to get the ideas on the page.....
Welcome Jonathan. My only knowledge of Dorset, is that in doing my Family Tree, I found that I have ancestors from Gillingham!

My only knowledge of Dorset, is that in doing my Family Tree, I found that I have ancestors from Gillingham!"When I was very young I used to live in Shaftesbury (about 10 mins from Gillingham) and for about a year we lived in a thatched cottage in Gillingham. I remember my dad getting bitten by a mouse that he had tried to remove from the loft.....

Patti (baconater) wrote: "Would you eat fish out of the Caspian?"Nope. Can't you get safe fish in the shops there?
Very occasionally we'll see imported fish. At silly prices and has been thawed and refrozen a dozen times.The 'British Pub' used to fly it in special but it's under local management now. They tried passing off local fish as imported for a while (at hugely inflated prices) but one of the staff let it slip that it was local fish.
None of the expats goes there anymore.
Hello Jonathan, Caris & IrynaWelcome. I am fairly new myself! But enjoying it. Feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory!
...Those fish & chips do look appetizing! May I have a portion as well pleeease !!

I've got ancestors from Shaftesbury too! ;-)

Hi Jo..."
An inspirational buildup needs lots of coffee (milk, no sugar) and a white canvas to go crazy on. I get my fix when the words are on the keyboard. Especially when the rain is pattering against the window.
And then there's that image of fish & chips that I keep scrolling up to with googly eyes.
