message 1: by Susana (new)

Susana (susana1) | 8 comments Just wondering if anyone would like to add me as a friend in this group. I'm an avid reader-especialy this genre. Most of my friends unfortunately, are not. Looking forward to hearing from you and comparing notes!
Thanks,
Susana


message 2: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Orlich Ahern (kittymeowxcore) | 97 comments You aren't alone! I was just talking to my friend yesterday about books. She doesn't read anything fun...just has a subscription to Foreign Affairs.

This is my favorite genre, too. So I'll add you! The best thing about having friends on this site is comparing what books you like or dislike.


message 3: by Kathy (new)

Kathy (cooldrenth) | 51 comments Yes, I friends are that way. If you want to add me I am fine with that. That is whole point to goodreads. You will love this group.


message 4: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sos_sweet) | 8 comments Okay, I am new to the site... as a participant, I have been lurking and reading the threads for a few months now. And I don't know how to add people as friends! But Susana, I would love to add you. I just finished White Witch, Black Curse and cannot wait for Black Magic Sanction. And if anyone can direct me to the add friends function, it would be greatly appreciated! (I did look!)


Jael ~ *~ Syhren ~* ~ (wwwgoodreadscomprofilejael) Always up for new friends on here especially someone who is in the same boat as me. Not too many of my friends read this genre as well.

I also love this genre and reading/books are an addiction for me LOL. Great to have you here! I will add you as friend.

Anyone in the group that wants to friend me is welcome to. :o) I went from only have 6 friends for 18 months to having LOTS now. But that was YZ's fault. One of the challenges was that you had to read books off of others in the groups lists. So there was a mad flurry of everyone wailing "Friend me, friend me." So, I've been MUCH more open to the whole friends concept since then. So--feel free.

Cassie (crimsonfeather) | 66 comments Hi, I'm new to the group and the site. I love this genre and would love to have some friends here. Would anyone like to add me as one?

Sure,would love to add you. Sending a request to you.


message 14: by Sherry (new)

Sherry | 18 comments Hi,new to the group, but have been on the site since November. Awesome site, and you guys offer great reviews, thoughts and ideas and have helped me find new books to read. Love this genre a ton and would like to have friends who I can discuss books with.

Cheers!


message 15: by Sophia (new)

Sophia Perez (sophiap) | 33 comments Hello I am also new to the group and the site. I love this genre and would love to have some friends here. Would anyone like to add me as one? Thank You



message 16: by Jaime (new)

Jaime Rush (jaime_rush) | 122 comments Hi, everyone! I'd love to make friends here, too, and I sent out friend requests to those of you who invited them. I always feel a bit funny sending requests because as an author, I don't want people to feel I'm "trolling" to promote. I write romantic urban fantasy and of course, I love to read it, too! When I'm too busy to read, I like coming here and seeing what people are reading and saying. It's fun to dish!


message 17: by Vickie (new)

Vickie (tangee43) | 6 comments Hi Everyone! I just found this site last week and y'all totally rock! I'm so annoyed with myself for not finding it sooner. I adore reading, but my hubbie, family and friends are mostly TV watchers. I'm always looking for time and quiet spaces to sneak away and immerse myself in another reality. I'm amazed by how many books some of you read in such a short time. My eyes fatique easily, so I've discovered a new love affair with audio books...especially since I commute 90 minutes each day. The only problem is that I keep a paper book with me at the same time and I sometimes confuse the two plots if they are a similar genre - LOL at myself. Would be happy to befriend anyone with similar interests. Happy Reading!


message 18: by Heather C (new)

Heather C (heathercook) | 44 comments Hello...everyone...I am also new to this site. (I heard about it on an Amazon post) I have the same problem as Susana where no one I know reads PNR. I am trying to introduce it to my mother.

You are welcome to send me a friend request...I don't have any friends :-(

Jaime, I own the first 2 books the Offspring Series...heard about them on Amazon...they are still in my TBR pile though. When does the next come out??? That is you right??


message 19: by Christine (new)

Christine (hypermama) | 8 comments wow what a concept....friends that READ! lol.

not many of my friends read either. and if they do they don't read as fast or as much as I do.

you can be my friend too!!!

:)


message 20: by Melodee (new)

Melodee Day | 3 comments HI! I'M VERY NEW TO ALL OF THIS. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND THAT LOVE TO READ. MY SISTER INTRODUCED ME TO THE TWILIGHT SAGA. I READ ALL 4 BOOKS IN A WEEK AND A HALF. SINCE THEN I'VE READ THEM A SEVERAL MORE TIMES. LOL. THE THING IS I NEED FRIENDS THAT WILL HELP ME OPEN MY MINE UP TO MORE GREAT BOOK. PARANORMAL ROMANCE HAS WON ME OVER TO READING AND I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH. SO, I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT I'M LOOKING FOR FRIENDS WHO WOULDN'T MIND GUIDING ME INTO THE WORLD OF PARANORMAL ROMANCE WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF GREAT BOOKS TO READ. :)

Melodee, I too have reread the Twilight Saga! Twilight is my go-to comfort book (LOL). If you liked Twilight, I just finished Intertwined by Gena Showalter that was quite good. I am currently reading Born of Night by Sherillyn Kenyon, who is another one of my favorites. Would love to add you as a friend. I will send a request.

just look through the posts about what people are currently reading, the group bookshelf, and other peoples book lists. feel free to add me....I just picked up 14 books from the library today *grin*

GREAT, I'LL DO THAT. IS THERE ANY CERTAIN BOOK THAT YOU HAVE READ LATELY THAT YOU COULDN'T PUT DOWN? THE REASON WHY I ASK, IS THAT I LIVE DEEP IN THE COUNTRY. THE NEAREST LIBARY IS AS BIG AS THE CORNER GAS SATION. SO, ANY BOOK THAT I GET WILL BE INVESTMENT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THOURGH THE INTERNET OR WHEN I FINALLY MAKE IT TO THE CITY TO BUY ONE FROM THE BOOK STORE.

I'll have to think about it....I read so many that its tough to pin point one really good one.


message 26: by Katoof (new)

Katoof Hi guys, I am also new to the site and to the group so if anyone would like to add me as a friend it would be cool, again no one I know reads much.

If anyone has any books they would reccomend for me that would also be great....
I loved twilight, love Sookie Stackhouse so anything along them lines would be good.

Sure I don't mind. :) Everyone feel free to add me.




message 28: by Alicia (new)

Alicia (aliciab249) | 18 comments Hello everyone I just found this site today and seem to be in the same boat as everyone else. None of my friends read and if they do it is all political. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But, I have to say it gets old. I love this genre. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I read so much stuff and I am always looking for something new to sink my teeth into.

Happy reading.


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello all! I'm new to this group, fairly new to this site, I wandered over from the Kindle Smut group.

Paranormal romance/urban fantasy is one of my favorite genres, although I do read alot of other romance and women's fiction.

Hi Lisa

I'm just finishing up a series called Monere:Children of the moon by Sunny

First in the series is Mona Lisa Awakening

I'm absolutely loving it and would recommend it to everyone.

Nat Alie (angelicali) | 1 comments Hi all

I'm pretty new here too. Please feel free to add me.

I'm just reading a compilaton book called Love Bites.

Happy reading.......


message 32: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Orlich Ahern (kittymeowxcore) | 97 comments Melodee:

Just a FYI: Amazon.com does have free shipping deals normally. Usually when you buy $50+ on "select items", they ship for free. So that might be a good option for you.

This is also why I read on a Kindle. Well, honestly I'm just lazy. I live near Baltimore, MD...we have bookstores everywhere. But buying books from the comfort of your home is nice.

But then again, if money is an issue (as it is for many now a days) the library is still the best option.

You could also look into bookswaps. I think there's something like that on Goodreads.

Hi Lisa! Here are some of the books I've read recently that I've really liked.



J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series is really great. Vampires.
Lynn Viehl also writes the Darkyn series. Vampires.
Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series is LONG (what are we at, 15 books in this series?) but I really enjoyed it.
Karen Marie Moning's Fever series is one of my favorites. I absolutly LOVE it, and the last book comes out sometime this fall.
You could always go down the Twilight route with
Stephenie Meyer. They are okay, but I liked The Host probably more.
Going down the Young Adult route, Melissa Marr writes the Wicked Lovely series. I liked that series a bunch, and there are still 2 more books to be released.
P.C. Cast writes the House of Night series for young adults. I really loved this series. Cast also writes more adult paranormal fantasy books, so they are also good to check out.
And I haven't read anything by Gena Showalter, but the books are waiting on my Kindle for me to read.
Right now, I'm reading Kelley Armstrong's "The Summoning", also young adult.

Good luck!


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

Probably my favorite YA series (paranormal) is Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy. I also really love her Succubus series, which is definitely NOT YA.

Sandra  (sleo) Hi! Just finding my way around Goodreads and am happy to have more friends.

Hi Lisa, I would also recommend Vampire Academy, succubus series By Richelle Mead, Night Huntress series by Jeanine Frost. Also Evernight/Stargazer are really good books as well. Hope this helps.
