[Tara]

Hi,

I've joined a while back but I've mostly been lurking. My name is Tara, and my favorite authors are Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan and Kresley Cole.

And yes, I'm also an author. I write erotic romance. The last two happened to be PNR, probably because I read lots of it :-)

[Alisa]

Hi Tara. Glad to have you & glad you've decided to stop lurking & join us. :)

Hello,
My name is Erica and I literally just discovered this group and joined lol. Anyway I love to read and love to pass on that passion. I recently started a book exchange at my work and it seems to be doing pretty well.
I read pretty much everything. But I especially have a weakness for Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy books. Some of my favorite authors as of right now include Kim Harrison (who i have had the honor of meeting twice now), Kelly Armstrong, and Jeanine Frost. But I'm looking forward to discovering some new favorites.

[Alisa]

Welcome Erica. Glad to have you with us.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Erica
That is awesome that you started a local book exchange!! I feel like books and stories are meant to be shared :-)

I am sure you will find plenty of new authors if you need a place to start please check out our meet the mods section

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Everyone!! Hope you find some new favorites to read :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi everyone!

I saw Alisa Mods this group so Hi!
I'm an avid Adult PNR/UF reader, although I've been diggin in some NAs lately trying to figure out where this grouping fits. I like to read new authors while waiting for my favs: Singh, DB Reynolds, Ilone, Ward, Dohner, Frost, etc...
My fav PNRs are of the dark side.
I also read Dark Erotica and heavy kink if I read contemporaries.

Off to stroll your board

Thank you for the warm welcome. I feel the same way about books needing to be shared. That's why i started the book exchange at my work. i work for a Head Start which is a low income preschool, and i felt like having the free books at the parent's disposal would be good, as they may not be able to afford books.

That's a great idea!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Good on you Erica, that's a fabulous idea, and maybe one of the parents will discover a great passion for books also.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Glad we can help out Deanna :D

[Kathy]

H everyone, my name is Kathy. I read so much urban fantasy and paranormal romance that it is sometimes hard for me to keep plot lines and authors straight. I was introduced to the genre almost a decade ago when I was managing at a Media Play store. My first serious urban fantasy author was Laurell K Hamilton back when the Anita Blake series was still good. I couldn't pick one favorite author but I do love Kim Harrrison, Patricia Briggs, and Darynda Jones mainly because they don't get to caught up in the romance and always make me smile.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Welcome Kitty and Kathy.

Kitty: I love finding new authors!!

Kathy: I know exactly what you mean about keeping plot lines straight which is why I have taken to writing reviews lol something to job my memory.

[Alisa]

Hi Kitty and Kathy---so glad you could join us!

[Lauren]

Hi! New to the group and very much looking forward to some great new UF & PNR authors. I'm currently reading Jaye Wells - pretty good so far. I work from home and own my own business so I can sneak in a book break occasionally. I got my start reading UF from recommendations from good reads - I'm really excited to be a part of the group - thanks for creating it!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey Lauren
Welcome to the group! There are so many great UF/PNR authors out there, it will keep your tbr list super long :-)
Again welcome and happy reading!

[Alisa]

Glad to have you Lauren!!

[Summer]

Hello everyone. I'm just learning the ropes of Groups on goodreads but it looks like a ton of fun. I recently learned I'm a paranormal/urban fantasy junkie and writer. I don't think there's a cure for it and frankly if there was I wouldn't take it. :)

Anyway my all time fav author is Kim Harrison.
I look forward to getting to know you all better, or at least a few of you. :)
~Summer

[Alisa]

[Evelyn]

Hi everyone my name is Evelyn. I live in Bardstown,KY but just moved up here this past summer. I am originally south Mississippi.

Some of my favorite authors include: Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Christina Dodd, Patricia Briggs just to name a few. But trust me there are HUNDREDS more.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome SavannahNorway & Evelyn!! It's great to have you both join us, and it's amazingly good that so many people from so many different places all love the same things. That's gotta be a good thing ;)

Any information or author suggestions send my way. :)

[Jennifer]

Hi Everyone! I'm Jen, new to the groups just figured out how to access them on my phone! Woo Hoo!!

I'm from MA in the middle of Boston and Cape Cod. Major book lover. I pretty much read anything paranormal, romance, book club novel types, just branching out to historical fiction. My favorites are vamps, wares and witches!

Hoping to find some new series books cause I'm running out of good series to read and have to keep waiting for a new book. Boo! Can't wait to start playing around and see what everyone is reading!

Happy reading!

[Margarita]

HI all, I'm Margarita! Been on goodreads for a while but have only recently gotten back into it. I'm looking to chat books, find out who likes what and what they like about it. I tried to join a book club in the 'real world' once or twice but they kept picking books I didn't like and then I'd just have to SLOG through something I didn't enjoy. I'm so glad for goodreads and genre focused groups where I can chat with lovers of the same books! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hi Jennifer & Margarita!!

I'm sure you'll both find new books to read. And we don't make you read ones you don't want to. LOL.

[Stacy]

Hi my name is stacy I live in Wick in the Scottish highlands. I am nearly 30 (boooo) have 3 children and my beautiful golden retriever holly. I'm a massive reader. Love lots of different genres but mostly paranormal romance. My fav series of all time is sherrylin Kenyon dark hunters. Love how she has created a world that comes to life. Also like Christine freehan, Mary Janice Davidson.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Welcome Stacy
Wick is in the northern part right near a river?
The Dark Hunters are the best having said that the last few books have not been the best but here is hoping things change.

[Nicole]

Hi! I'm Marsha and I am a book addict :)
I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, married, we have a 10 year old boy, and I just finished my Mater's of Education.

I have been enjoying the paranormal/urban fantasy/sci-fi genres for a while now. I am always looking for new authors or series to read.

[Alisa]

Hi Marsha. Glad to have you. Congrats on finishing your Master's. It's a great accomplishment. Check out our What Are You Reading section for on new ideas of what to read.

[{Jayhawk}]

Hi, as you can see, i am Holly.
I was just searching for a Furies of Calderon group, and found this one that included Jim Butcher as well as many other authors i have read from. JR Ward is a favorite of mine, go BDB, and i just started Shadow Game by Christine Feehan, though im not loving it as much as it seemed i would according to my friends recommendation. Really love the Furies of Calderon though and i believe it is UF. Not sure. Anyway, though it doesn't apply to this group or PNR/UF, here is a list of my other fav authors. not in any particular order.
Ken Follet- Pilllars of the Earth
JR Ward-Black Dagger Brotherhood
JK Rowling-Harry Potter
Jean M Auel-Earths Children
Michelle Paver Chronicles of Ancient Darkness
Jane Lindskold-Firekeeper Saga
Rick Riordan-all Percy Jackson books
Christopher Paolini-Inheritance Cycle
Jerry Spinneli-whatever he wrote
Erin Hunter-Wariors

and thats all i can think of now

[J-J lover of books]

I've just started Shadow game, i feel its a bit slow but i am hoping it will pick up. When i started BDB books i wasn't keen on the first book to begin with.
