[Billy Joel]

My name is Billy. I'm still quite new on Goodreads. I joined this site for the same reason that many of you joined it: I love books. I also love writing about the books that I have read. It's another thing that makes reading books enjoyable to me.

[Tamar]

My name is Tamar Tremaine :). I'm the author of Salty Flames. I work full time as an Architect, and I joke that I have a side job as a professional online dater. (I just go on a lot of dates in my free time.)
This is my first book!

Hello Christine,
the best way is to contact me through my webpage contact form - I can send you my e-mail then (not to post it here) and you can send me a copy for reading (as a PDF or any ebook format). Or if you have free days or reduced price days on Amazon, I can download it from there directly. I'm glad to help!

[Monica]

Hi. I'm Monica. I'm an academic turned romance author. I recently published my debut novel and I'm already working on my second. Avid reader too. When I'm not writing, you can pretty much guarantee I'm reading. I live in Yorkshire with my partner dog and cats. Having a cat take possession of your laptop is a vital part of the writing process!

I'm Jim. Long time reader, first time writer. Uncomfortable talking about myself. Trying to edge out into the world. I'll try more later. Thanks.

[Marsha]

I’m Marsha DeFilippo and I’ve just published my first book, Arizona Dreams, book 1 of a 3 book series. This had been 10 years (off and on) in the process but after retiring in June 2020, I decided to finally finish the manuscript that had been gathering digital dust. Book 2 was written during the November 2020 NaNoWriMo challenge and I’m currently working on book 3.

Hello. My name is Victoria Leigh Bennett, and I am a writer of novels, short stories, essays, and poetry. My website features my posts on literature, creative-shadows.com, and I also just was published in a book of poetry.

Please let me know what you like, aren't so crazy about, or find valuable or interesting or personally significant to you about the poems in my book. I am always willing to engage in respectful discussion. All the best, Victoria (Vicki) Leigh Bennett

Hi Rosh! We need more people like you... readers! Ha!
I just released a book of quirky, fun, absurd short stories, Small Portions Cafe. I would, of course, love it if you'd check it out. It's on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

[Brian]

Hello,

My name is Brian. I'm from California and with my son have spent the year writing a children's book that he, as a 10-year-old, felt other kids would enjoy. It was a great learning experience for me, too, as I had to be teacher, clean-up artist, and editor... which meant it was an education in writing.

Anyhow, it's called "(Watch Out For) Thirteen O'Clock" and there will be a giveaway starting Sep 14. If you have a kid or love children's humor and adventure, this might be right up your alley!


Also, of course, I am a reader in my spare time! (But my son is much, much more!)

Hello neighbor!

[Sharon Therese]

Hi Rosh, your neighbour over here from Sri Lanka, do you read psychological thrillers?

[Victoria]

Dear Sharon Therese, Though the book is more of a Gothic/psycholoigcal thriller than a plain psychological thriller, you might enjoy "The Thirteenth Tale," by Diane Setterfield. While it's not a new book, it's one that I feel should have a pretty long shelf life. Ta! for now. Vicki from U.S.

[Ruthie]

Hello New Commenters!

I have this information on a previous page so now reposting for your information.

I'm an avid book reader and reviewer and I run a bookstagram @ram_reads with 2,000 followers

I love helping to support indie published(small publishing house) and self-published authors.

You can hire me to read, review (on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc), create creative feature Instagram/TikTok posts, and conduct an Author Interview with you on Instagram. I have various packages to choose from and my pricing is very reasonable.

I've already worked with several self-published authors and you can reach out to them to see what they thought of my work.

Jenny White author of

Brian McMahon author of

L.L. Lewin author of

Katie Masterman author of

and AJ Navab author of

Send me a message here on Goodreads, an email at ram_reads@yahoo.com, or check out my Instagram page @ram_reads to see what the posts would look like and send me a direct message there.

I'll read your synopsis first to see if it sounds like something I would enjoy reading, I read almost anything.

Paying for a review/creative social media posts doesn't guarantee a higher star review. The payment is for my time and for the reach of my platform.

I look forward to hearing from y'all!

Business tycoon Hardik Seth and his family have been under the scanner of the Income Tax Commissioner, Rakesh Bisht, for the longest time. His efforts to nab Seth for accumulation of wealth that is definitely not kosher have hit legal hurdles. Meanwhile, Seth’s son, Rohan, meets the enchanting Eli in London and the mysterious Mr. Maduro in the British Virgin Islands, who introduce him to the business of money laundering in its newest form.
With the advent of crypto-currency and blockchain technology it has become a herculean task for the authorities to trace, gather evidence and institute legal proceedings against the culprits.
Bisht, his trusted deputy, Ajit Pandey, and rookie lawyer Saket Sharma are hot on the Seths’ trail. It’s almost impossible to track the elusive crypto-currency … and the Seths, who are always a step ahead. Or are they …?
Saurabh Bagaria’s Money Gone is a great read, the best bang for your buck!

It's a very good read you will enjoy to the end. It's interesting how you write a book. Then, you have not a sentence to start another one. LOL the joy of writing.

Welcome to the group, Smita!

And a very warm welcome to any other new members too.

[Norelle]

I'm Norelle. I'm a self published author and prefer to read (and listen to) other self published authors. I need recommendation for AUDIOBOOKS. This is a busy season for me and I can listen while I drive. Please only from self published authors. Romance, crime, suspense.
My first book is IF Untold. My second (available in October!) The Gap Between Us.
Both available on Amazon.

Hi Norelle, how are you? Are you looking for reviewers for your book? If so, I'd love to read and review it in exchange for a physical copy, as I don't really have a good way to read ebooks. My review would be published on Goodreads and my book blog. I can also be reached by email at: justabookishblog@gmail.com
Thank you!

[David]

Hi everyone,
I've literally only just published my first book. It is a collection of short stories and flash fiction called Derecho Rising.
It is so cool to see my book actually looking like a real book!
I'd love to get some review of it now it is out there.
My next aim is to concentrate on a longer form story that I have been kicking around and planning for a while.

[Valerie]

Hello! Good to see The Alchemist listed in this group. Two others that pair nicely with it are The Holy Man by Susan Trott and Illusions by Richard Bach.

I've written and self-published 11-going-on-12 books and was recently inspired by a new writer to do some more reaching out to writers who need motivation. I started a group, Write the Book You Want, here on Goodreads and just posted "you can write your first line!" on writethebookyouwant.com.

I'm a writing coach and I hold writing circles; I write fiction, prose-poetry, short stories, and books about writing; one of them is Write the Book You Want: Be Your Own Coach. Need any help with your writing?

[Dave]

Hi my name is Dave, I just started on Goodreads. I've kind of done things all backwards, I wrote my book and published it and then started looking at websites to discuss it. I want to work towards becoming an active member of the community because my previous e-community was very toxic.

Looking forward to chatting with people!

[Victoria]

Welcome to the group, Dave, and anyone else who just joined.

[Sue]

Hi, All. I am Sue McKerns, a reader, and here's my intro. I got hooked on the original Lost in Space tv series as a kid. By hooked I mean I would play hooky from after-school bible class to get in my Lost In Space. I, age 8, would also sit at the top of the stairway to the second floor and peek around the corner and down into the living room when an episode of UFO was on. Later, I would spend my lunch money on paperback Science Fiction & Fantasy books. So that's my origin story and I've had an SFF obsession ever since (40+ years now). My family never understood :( but that never slowed my interest.
I went on to get a practical job in a law firm (not a lawyer) and that's been me for the last 30 years, with SFF on the side. Kinda boring. But then I discovered beta reading. I can't write a thing, but I've found that I can help writers along the way, and I'm always impatient to get started on the next project. After all this time I've finally found a way to contribute to the SFF I love.

[Aaron]

welcome new peeps

[[deleted user]]

I've written a couple of books on A Course of Love, and ACOL is a continuation of A Course in Miracles; the books are Being Who You Are: Pondering A Course of Love; and A Course of Love: an Overview. All of this was previously unpublished material, though I have had a blog entitled 'Miracles Each Day" for 12 years, a mostly daily blog.
I am now writing a prayer book and would welcome advice and comments from anyone who has published one or more prayer books. I would also welcome hearing comments about my published books.

[Paul]

Hi everyone,

My name is Paul Wardle and I live in Manchester, UK. The city and its dark underbelly features heavily in my thriller 'The Depths', which is a novella available on Kindle and in paperback format.

Currently I am working on a new, full-length manuscript for a novel with the working title of 'Toxic'.

[Jacqueline]

Hello everyone! My name is Jacqueline P. Walker; I am new to the group and trying to navigate Goodreads! I have always enjoyed reading (fiction or non-fiction) but am usually drawn in by some inspirational aspect. I recently published a fictional memoir, A Season of Disruption. Looking forward to interacting with readers and authors.

[R]

Greetings,

My name is R Edwin Smith. I am a new author that has just self-published his first novel, The Permyriads (literally meaning the one-in-ten-thousand). The story is what you might expect if Isaac Asimov and George Orwell had co-authored a science-fiction dystopian novel. It is a frighteningly realistic near-future Earth where predatory capitalism and robotic automation reach their logical apex by consolidating all power and control into the hands of the richest of the rich.

[John]

My name is John Servant. I have written three Christian fiction books. My first book, The Arrow That Flies By Day, is a story about overcoming all the obstacles in your path to achieve your dreams, become a true hero and find redemption. My second book, The Narrow Gate, is a story about unbridled ambition and political corruption of a powerful US senator and the power of friendship and how it can help in finding the way back from the abyss and finding redemption. My third book, Always Before Me, is a story about what to do if your failures are always before you and how to snatch victory and your dreams from unjust tragedy.
