Ooo vampires been awhile since I read anything with vamps, well other than the Night Prince series... I may have to check that out.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Claire & Ora, welcome to the group :)

[Leslie]

Hi,
My name is Leslie and I am a fan of PNR and UF books. Shape-shifters books are my favorite.

I'm from Bordeaux, France. My hobbies are reading (I often forget to eat when I am reading) and writing. My favorite authors are Laurell K. Hamilton, Patricia Briggs, Anne Bishop, Darynda Jones, Jeanine Frost, Shelly Laurenston etc.

[Karen]

Hi Leslie! I totally agree those are some great authors!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Leslie! Shifters are my fav as well. I hope you'll enjoy the group, don't hesitate to jump into any of the discussions and group reads.

[Christine]

Hi everyone, I'm chris and while I'm new to this group (and also goodreads...) I'm far from new to reading!
I find it hard to keep up with a lot of the new and upcoming PR and UF writers coming out and about, and tend to find the duds more often then those truely amazing cant put them down books.... hopefully this group (and you lovely people) can help with that!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Christine! We can certainly help you find some great new authors & books. Have a look at the Best of lists towards the bottom of the page - they have the first in series book listed, so that means there are tons of books.

Feel free to jump into any of the discussions or challenges :)

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Welcome Christine!

[Benicia]

Hello! My name is Benicia, and I live in northern California. I've been a fan of fantasy and science fiction for as long as I can remember. My mother claims the first book she read to me was The Hobbit. I read at least a book a day, and love to revisit my favorites. Sometimes I feel like my life revolves around Tuesday mornings and finding out what new releases I can purchase before starting my day. I have a 13 year old son, and when I am not lost in a book I am most likely embarrassing him in some way. I am looking forward to exploring this group, and hopefully finding new authors to love. :)

[Karen]

Welcome Benicia looking forward to hearing from you on the group reads!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Welcome Benicia I am sure we can find you a few new authors.

[Nicole]

Hello happy readers! I'm Nicole and am a PNR junkie. I've read BDB, IAD, Night Huntress, Guild Hunter series (just to name a few) and I'm currently reading the Kate Daniels series (book 5). The first book didn't quite catch me but I am so glad I decided to continue the series. Freaking love Curran and Kate cracks me up. Can't wait to see where their story goes.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Nicole welcome to the group! Totally agree Kate Daniels is one of my favorite series.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Cate! I've got friends visiting Bali right now & the photos look great! I can understand why you're living there, great weather, friendly people :)

And a great job as editor and writer. You're living the life!

[L.D.]

Hey everyone!

I'm a doctor by day and author of PNR/UF by night. I love to read almost any type of fiction when I'm not slogging through textbooks and papers. I'm an occasional runner and I drink way too much coffee. I also love red wine and the ocean (I live in RI).

Thanks for having me. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome L.D.!

Wow, a doctor! It's a wonder you find time to read, let alone write. Love the coffee, red wine and the ocean, but you can have the running. LOL.

[L.D.]

LOL, Sandra! Running is one of those tastes you develop over time, haha. ;)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Well as a well endowed woman, it won't be a taste I acquire any time soon. Just way too uncomfortable. LOL.

But I'm happy to watch anyone else have a go!

[L.D.]

Touche! Watching is far more entertaining. :P

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

:D

[Melissa]

Hello,
I just joined today and thought it would be nice to introduce myself. I'm Melissa and it's nice to meet all of you. I started with Jeaniene frost books and they got me hooked onto everything in the paranormal romance/urban fantasy genre. Right now I'm reading a lot of Karen Marie Moning. But I also love Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lara Adrian, Gena Showalter, Nora Roberts,Kelley Armstrong, Amanda Hocking, Charlaine Harris... I can keep going. This group seems like a great place to find good books and have interesting discussions.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Welcome Melissa! Glad you found your way here :)

There are plenty of new authors to check out and lots of friendly people to chat with.

[Kirsten]

Hi everyone! I already have a handful of groups that I'm active in, but when I found this group I thought it might be a nice way to introduce myself to more quality Urban Fantasy. Until now I have been very picky about what UF I read, and haven't veered very far from Patricia Briggs, Kim Harrison, and Ilona Andrews. I'm not really interested in the romance aspect found in a lot of books in this genre, thus my pickiness. I would like to be able to branch out and find more good authors that I may have missed, though! I can't wait to jump in and start participating with this group. :)

[Karen]

Welcome Kirsten! I'm a big fan of all three authors and someone recently introduced me to The Others by Anne Bishop. I love it so if ur shopping around for new UF u might want To check out Written in Red if not then ignore everything except the welcome :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I also endorse Anne Bishops Others series, Kirsten. Welcome to the group!

You can check out the Urban Fantasy thread with discussions on various authors.

[Kirsten]

Thanks! I'll check those out. :D It looks like the Anne Bishop series is highly rated. :)
