Hi! I'm Katie, but people call me Kat. I live in California, and I want to be a book editor or a psychologist after college. I love reading YA contemporary, romance, paranormal, dystopian, fantasy, and mystery:)

Welcome Kat! A book editor sounds great but I bet it pays more to be a psychologist :D

Welcome Holly, Frankie and Kate!

[KathyAnne]

Chattykat here... this looks like a fun group to be a part of... especially since paranormal is my favorite genre! I will read any genre if it holds my interest, however. I have many favorite authors and I'm always looking for suggestions. My newest discovery is J.T. Geissinger's Night Prowler series. Hoping this group will lead me to something I haven't discovered yet. Looking forward to joining in on the fun!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

We have quite a few PNR fans so I hope you find some new authors :-)

[Marcia]

Hi, Everyone!

I'm Marcia, from Florida, and while I read just about every genre, I'm currently enjoying the wild popularity of Urban Fantasy everywhere. I've been reading for over 60 years, so spooky stuff isn't new to me, but this is the first time in my life when it has been so popular. I was weaned on Poe and Lovecraft, and it was lean pickings for a long time. So glad that I can get my vampity fix now whenever I want. I still leave room for other genres, of course, but The Dresden Files, Toby Daye, Rachel Morgan, The Weather Wardens, Jane Yellowrock, and so many more are filling my bookshelves now. Can't wait to get to know more of you. Thanks for letting me join the group.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Marcia! We're very pleased you found us ;) I totally agree about the scarcity of UF until say the last 10-15 years. My hubby keeps calling it a fad, and says what am I gonna do when the trend is over. LOL.

We'll cry. And then we'll write our own! We won't go gently into that Urban Fantasy-free good night! :)

Thanks for the welcome! Nice to meet you!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

ROFL. I like it!!! Nice to me you too, Marcia :D

[Marcia]

Thank you, Dawn. Looking forward to getting to know you as well. Buying books is my second favorite pastime. Talking about them is my first! :)

[Amy]

Hi, I'm Amy and love most of the authors discussed here and the ones I'm not familiar with, I am so going to check out! My 3 favs are Lynsay Sands (all genres), Patricia Briggs & Jeanine Frost. I've just started reading Chloe Neill and am really enjoying her work as well!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]
