[bookcover:Unsavory Delicacies|10997..."great to see you here again Russell!!
I could not pass this invite up. James Mason is etched in my mind from North By Northwest. :-) I am Mark Graham from NC. I have a new novel just released - LAND RUN. Working on another - an American in Ukraine (well, that's not the title - just a bit of what it is about....wait, may have to consider that for a title. ;-)
Hello everyone! Rick invited me to join the group and I'm so excited to chat with everyone about one of our favorite passions!!
Hello all my name is Lars i am a avid reader from Denmark, i only read books in their origanl language so that kind of limits me to danish and english books. but mainly i read book in english, i just this morning finished reading Magic Lost, Trouble Found by Lisa Sherian. and have now ordered the rest of the series.
i am one of those people that read any and everything but mainly i read sci-fy / fantasy, romance, paranormal, horror. but i am more then happy to pick up a book that is not on my little list.
i hope to get more good book ideas from following in this group and some good friendly fun.
talk with u soon
with regards lars
Hello everyone. My name is Jillian Peery and I am the author of the paranormal romance novel, PineLight. I am fairly new to Goodreads, but I have enjoyed the attention this site has provided PineLight in such a short amount of time. Also, it has been fantastic communicating with fellow readers and writer enthusiasts! I am looking forward to meeting others through this group. Thanks Rick for the invitation!

That's ironic, because I just saw North by Northwest yesterday for the first time. Now I know why Hitchcock is still famous today. I sincerely hope that they do not remake that movie.

Hi all, my name is LJ Bryant and I'm the VP of children's book reviews at Children's Literary Classics. - Delighted to have been invited to be a part of this group. If you are a children's poet, author or illustrator, please do check out our website at www.clclawards.org - Our annual Book Awards contest is just around the corner. Deadline is 8/1/11 - I'd love the opportunity to help promote your book. All entries are considered for review and our Seal of Approval program before moving on to the awards department.
Hey all! Rick invited me to join and I just did, so I haven't had much time to look around yet, but I'm excited to find members that share my LOVE for reading. My favorite genres are urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and romance. Although really I enjoy anything with a happily ever after! And I love vampire books...I have a slight obsession. :)Although I would love to do nothing but read, lately I have been finding myself spending a lot of time on goodreads (I'm a mod for My Vampire Book Obsession and I spend a lot of time on there)...probably even more than I spend reading. lol.
Anyway, can't wait to start chatting with all of you!
I'd like to thank Rick for the invitation. I'm a romance author, published with Harlequin's African-American Romance line, Kimani Romance. My 8th book, SAVED BY HER EMBRACE, is on sale this month. I live in Barbados, but am currently vacationing in Orlando, recovering for the very busy, Romance Writers of American Conference in New York. I currently working on my next Kimani romance and a proposal for Harlequin Intrigue. I love romantic suspense. I'm a high school teacher and after 27 years still love teaching!
Thanks Rick for the invite! My name is Danielle and my friend is named April. We are the authors of "Flesh and Feathers". We love to read, especially paranormal romance/Urban fantasy. Really look forward to getting to know everyone.
Hi all! I found this group because a couple of my author Goodfriends are members, and it looked really interesting, so I joined.I live in NJ, and work as an Administrator at a community college. I'm married, with two kids, two cats, and a gold fish.
I'm a major book lover. I love to read, mostly fiction, but, more recently I've begun to explore history, psychology, gender studies, feminism,theology and poetry. I love words, and great narrative just makes me so happy.
Even with fiction, I'm pretty eclectic in my tastes. I love to read mystery, thrillers, fantasy, horror, literary fiction, classics - I think the only thing I'm not a fan of is romance writing. It just bores me. I'm a pretty tolerant reader, but I'm noticing that as I get older, I'm pickier about realistic plot development, crappy dialogue and totally transparent plots. Even with that, it takes a lot to get me to give up on a book. Looking forward to meeting you all, and getting to explore more on this site.

I would like to thank Rick for the invitation and opportunity to be part of this group. My name is Chris Digiuseppi and I'm a new author recently published by HCI Books. My first novel, The Light Bringer, was a three year project by both myself and co-author Mike Force. It was released on July 1st and is doing great. Thank you to all of those who had signed up for our book giveaway and I look forward to future discussions with this group.
Hi Everyone! Thank You Rick for the invite. My name is Keri and I found my first love in the fifth grade ...books. My fifth grade teacher introduced me to a book called Matilda and my nose has been in a book ever since. Some of my favorite authors are Harlon Coben, Jennifer Weiner, Sue Grafton, Barbara Delinsky, Anita Shreve and Wally Lamb.
Thank You for inviting me to join your group. I am an avid reader up until last year, my reading has dropped to about half of what it was as I started writing the books I wanted to read that hadn't been written yet. I published my first and worst in January and feverishly working to finish my second. Hopefully I will publish it September 11th this year. Still reading but as time is cut in half I am being much more selective with what I finish reading.Thomas

welcome to all of you!!!
My name is R.L. Mathewson. I'm a life long avid reader. When I was a kid I'd read anything and everything I could get my hands on. For years I was more into autobiographies, biographies and history, basically I was a history buff. Then I got into Stephen King, horror, adventure, and classics, I've always loved classics. Now I'm more into romance novels mostly because I love a happy ending : )Thanks for the invite, Rick : )

Hello all of you thousands,I'm a indie author, with a little to give and lots to learn.
I have adapted French neoclassical plays into English.
Now, I try to write speculative science fiction, and have one book that fits roughly under the SF umbrella.
I enjoy reading and reviewing other indie authors, and giving them a shout when in my humble opinion they write well and/or have something interesting to say.

welcome Richard- so happy to have you here!
Hello guys, girls, and anyone that doesn't cover. I'm Jason HAlstead and I've written a bunch of books. A whole bunch, but thus far only eight have been published and a few more are on their way. My preferred genres are science fiction and fantasy, but I've dabbled in other areas as well (most notably Romance).Got an invitation from Rick (thanks Rick), to check the group out and it looks like a nice place to hang out and toss some words against a wall to see what sticks.
To slip into shameless mode, I'm also always in the mode for reviews for my books. If anybody's interested in checking them out and doing a review, please let me know, I'll be happy to provide an ebook to you for it.
That's it for now. Oh sure, I can be far more shameless, but I'm pacing myself. :)
Thanks again,
Jason Halstead

Thank you for the invite!My online name is Gabby-Lily Raines and I enjoy reading. (Why does that sound as if it is should be the introductory line at a group?) Oh, yes, I have an odd sense of humor.
I do the odd bit of writing, freelance as a proofreader/editor/sometime ghost writer, and review "stuff" (i.e., books :)) here, at Librarything, on my own blog, and at Night Owl Reviews. I also used to review at Bitten by Books.
Thanks for the invite, Rick -- and greetings to fellow group members! I look forward to joining in your discussions. I am a debut author -- my international thriller, THE FUND, just came out in May 2011 from Forge/Macmillan. It's the story of a Defense Intelligence operative who stumbles upon an international plot to bring down Western economies. Douglas Preston calls my book "a financial apocalyptic thriller full of surprises and insider knowledge. A terrific read!"

welcome HT!!
Thanks for the invite, Rick. Calling it the James Mason Community Book Club alone made it intriguing - James Mason is one of my all time favorite actors. I live in South Carolina with my husband and three cats. Professionally, I was a medical transcriptionist until my position was phased out. Now I'm working as a temp for an insurance company and really enjoying learning about this new industry.My favorite books are mysteries, particularly cozies, but I also like thrillers, some romance and paranormal romance as well as fantasy. Right now, I'm finishing off the last of Tim Myers Lighthouse mystery series. I play around with writing and had 3 short stories pubbed in an anthology, but still haven't gotten serious with it.
Nice to meet you all and look forward to the reading recommendations.
Mod
welcome Debbie- goes w/o saying James mason is my favorite actor!! checkout the pics section- some great photos of him!
Glad to be part of the group, I'm a writer from Texas. Some of my favorite writers are John Fante, Bukowski, Hesse, and Jim Marrs. All my books are now on kindle. I am currently reading Tombstone:The early years by John Myers Myers.
Mod
welcome Thom- great collection of books you have!!
Hello everyone, and thank you Rick for the invitation!My name is Collette Scott, author of Forever Sunshine and avid reader whenever I am not writing.
My reading is a very eclectic style. I will give any genre a chance if I believe the story is good. I have everything from literature to true crime in my library. I just love the written word and never tire of other people's imaginations!
Alas, life had gotten away from me with children, my job in academia, and all those other pesky details to make it from day to day. But due to a change in circumstances I have recently been able to go back to writing full-time, and I've been publishing as well. All those books on my TBR list are slowly being worked through, and my kids now complain that all they see me do is work on my computer - LOL.
I'm still new to Goodreads but am excited to mingle with all these new faces from all over the world and am eager to have new friends as well, so don't be shy!
It is a pleasure to meet you all!

Through my life I've heard about the town in Australia. People always ask me if I am from Adelaide, Australia. No. I'm from California. It's a family name.
