Newbies, Thanks for Joining SOS!

Welcome KatieV! Patty Briggs is one of my favs as well, such a shame her husband Mike recently passed away.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I know :( I thought about that while reading the latest book. So sad.

[J.L.]

Hi All,

I'm J.L. Guzior. I'm a newly published writer, and I have to say that I've been enjoying my new vocation quite a bit. It's been fun getting to discuss writing with fellow authors as well as connect with readers.

I'm an avid reader myself. I especially seek out sexy books with strong characters that make me laugh out loud. I'm a huge fan of the night huntress series, and pretty much anything that JF writes.

I look forward to the connections I will make while being a part of this group!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome, J.L.!

[Rose]

Hey people name's Lexie. I love good series I'm hoping to find a couple of good books and chat.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hiya Lexie! Welcome to SOS!

[Steffi]

Hi Everyone, I'm Steffi hope you don't mind me joining your group but UF is one of my many book addictions. I would love to chat about some of your favs, and I always love to get some recommendations. :)

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Welcome Steffi! Glad to have another addicted UF reader amongst us :D

Feel free to jump into any discussions you fancy, and don't forget to check out the Best of Lists, you might find some recs there :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome Steffi! :D

[Steffi]

Thanks girls! Will do Sandra!

Hi I'm new to the group but not GR. My name is Jessi

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome Jessi!

[Rachel]

Hello, I am new to the group but not Goodreads. Though I am new to the discussions, as the phone app is poor compared to the website.

I love reading, I read most genres.
I am currently re-reading Kate Daniels for the 3rd or 4th time. After Hidden Legacy series I am on a Ilona Andrews series marathon, I love anything Ilona Andrews.

Other series still being published I love includes, Mercy Thompson, & Alpha and Omega series. Midnight Breed and Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I have recently read Alex Craft so I am hooked on this series now too.

I could go on and on and on. :-)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome Rachel! Thanks for poppin' in to say Hi and for offering to be a possible alternate player in our current round of Bingo. If you don't make into the game this round, be sure to join us in the future.

Many of us SOSers are BIG Ilona Andrews fans, as well as the others you've listed. Enjoy your re-reading :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome, Anuj!

[Jennifer]

Greetings! I am here to find people who share my love of UF. I get my fix in audiobooks, so I'm always looking for a good series. I don't mind romance/sex in the series, but I don't want it to be sex in the first book, or sex at ridiculous times (i.e. if someone's just been kidnapped and you stop for a quickie, I'm going to quit reading).

I'm looking forward to many passionate recommendations.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Jennifer, welcome! I'm a fan of audiobooks, as well. My hubby and I like to listen while road tripping, which these days is full time. Prior to that, I would typically listen to a couple of audiobooks a month. Please feel free to add your favorites to our BEST OF: Series Audiobooks list.

[Oleander]

Hi everyone. I'm always up for discussing a good book. Still a fan of hard copies or pb I can hold in my hand, but I also get some on the pc too. I don't do audio because of young ears in the house, but I see that changing in about 5 years. I read lots of different genres but my favorite is UF. I seem to be a bit ADD about reading a series all in a row. I jump around a lot (there's so much good stuff out there). Group or buddy reads help me stay focused.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Welcome Jennifer & Oleander!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome Oleander! I'm typically an ADD series reader, too. I rarely read books in a series back-to-back.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Welcome CeDany, good luck with the 2nd book. And very sorry to hear of your loss. Heartbreaking.

You'll find we're an eclectic lot with some of us enjoying BDSM/erotica and others like yourself not so much. LOL

As long as there's a HEA I'm good :D

Feel free to join in anything that takes your fancy, we're a friendly bunch.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi CeDany! Welcome to the group! My sympathies on your loss.

Congrats on your new series and best of luck with your second book.

[Amelia]

Hellooo! Excited to find a group who loves Melissa F. Olson as much as I do :D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Amelia! Welcome to the group! I'm a fan of Olson's Scarlett Bernard series, as well as the spin-offs. I haven't started her Nightshades series yet, but will. :D

[Amelia]

AHHH you will love it!!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks, I'm sure I will. She hasn't let me down so far :)

[Vixe]

Hi O.o

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Ms, welcome!

[Anastasia]

Hey ya'll! I'm a voracious PNR reader, but I'm also an author. I promise not to self-promote, pinky swear :)

These days I'm really into Sky Winters and Juniper Hart's series. Both great authors, I'm particularly fond of Sky's nanny shifter series. I'm also very fond of books that slide in some form of modern technology in it, like Ariana Hawkes's Shiftr series (tinder for shifters!!). I'm really a bit of a geek at heart lol. Happy to meet you guys!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Welcome Anastasia! I've seen the Shiftr series around, I might even have some of them but if so I haven't read them yet. Will have to have another look. LOL. And a nanny shifter series, that sounds interesting :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Tinder for shifters LOL! Love it!

Welcome Anastasia!

[Kelsey]

Hey Everyone, I’m new thanks for letting me join! I love reading, I’ve just released my debut novel too! Oh I used to be a tattoo artist for awhile too...though I’ve got a fear of needles now haha. Where’s everyone from? I live in the U.K...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Kelsey, welcome! A tattoo artist afraid of needles is just too funny. I wish I could tattoo. They’re so expensive; I’d love to be able to do my own. I’m from Virginia, but now all over the US, touring around with my hubby and our 2 kitties in our RV.

[Lanelle]

Hello, everyone. My name is Lanelle. I live in hot and sunny Arizona. I read most genres, but I like it when the author keeps the bedroom door shut, so to speak. That can be tough with some UF and PNR :)
I look forward to getting to know everyone.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi, Lanelle, welcome!

Ilona Andrews is a great choice for closed-door-romance 😊

Ilona Andrews is great, period :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Agreed! Top of the list!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Welcome Lanelle, love the cactus. The hubby has quite a collection of them.

And music to my ears - Ilona Andrews is fantastic!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Hi Kate & welcome!

Your best bet for finding new to you series is to check out the Best of lists we have for Urban Fantasy & Paranormal Romance. They are in their own folder towards the bottom of the group. The lists are made up of the first in series books, and added by our members.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Welcome Kate! Glad you found us. There are a lot of recommendations throughout the group, many can be found in our Book Recommendations & Favorites folder.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Happy 2020 from the SOS Mods! Welcome to the group!

[Jessica]

Hiya everyone, I'm Jessica, I live in Germany and my teacher life is so busy that I need some down time with non-school things. Books give me that. I have been a member of this group for quite some time, but I haven't been active. I want to try and participate actively this year - school permitting, obviously.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Hi Jessica! Thanks for saying Hi. My husband is a retired Marine; we traveled to several places in Germany while he was active duty and we loved it. Your transpo system is fantastic, too 😊

Feel free to jump in anywhere. Let us know if ya have any questions.

[Cathy]

Hi Everyone, I signed up for goodreads a few years ago and then never got back on. (I was to busy reading ;)
I got on to look around for a new series and found you guys. I looked at the 'list your 10 favorite authors' post and not only found some new authors to follow, but realized I found a lot a people who follow the same authors that I follow.
That is so exciting.
I'm looking forward to chatting with like minded readers.
Thanks for being here.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay! Welcome, Cathy! I'm so happy our chatter lured ya in and you found some commonality amongst our crazy series-obsessed bunch. We're a friendly lot and hope you enjoy spending time around SOS.

[Freyjah]

Hi everyone ! I am Freyjah. I stumbled across your group when I searched for Alien Fantasy. I was excited to see that this is a group that likes reading series. I am new and slowly learning how this whole Goodreads thing works. So where to begin?
I am eager to get into an exciting and captivating series and to connect with some fellow readers.
I am retired and have time to get back to my favorite thing. Is it ok to use audiobooks?
So Hello everyone thanks for letting me join in.😊

[Steph, Serious series addict]
