Introduce Yourself - Part Deux!

[Elle]

Hi!

My name is Elle and I absolutely love to read, but unfortunately studying mostly gets in the way at the minute. Hopefully during the summer I can play catch up though!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Elle!
I know the feeling homework can really get in the way of personal reading time.

[Elle]

hi :)!

yes, it stinks, and even with free time i feel guilty reading /:

Thanks for checking that is fantastic!

Hi Armi
Welcome to our group! I think you will find a ton of new authors and books, this genre has grown so much it feels like in some ways it is hard to keep up!
How awesome that you are reading and improving your English skills. I tried it with the Spanish and German version or Harry Potter. It went very badly LOL. Perhaps I will try again when I am done with school.

[Lisa Kay]

Welcome, Armi! So neat that you speak/read more that one language; I wish I did. We have a member in another group I'm in who reads several different languages. She posts her challenge books with the bookcover of the book she read, then next to it the one in English so we know which one it is. So neat. Love to see the different covers, too!

[Samantha]

Hello everyone,

My name is Samantha, I am new to the group so I thought I would introduce myself..I am from TN and love all different types of books but PNR is my favorite. I love discussing books and finding new authors to chose from.

[J]

I'm a writer and I live in Texas. I read various types of books but my favorite authors are Steven King, Yasmine Galenorn, Patricia Briggs, Laurrell K Hamilton, Anne Rice, and Anne Mac Caffery. Anita Blake, Mercy Thompson, And the D'Artigo sisters are a few of the most recent collections I've immersed myself into tho I am open to new authors and styles.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey Samantha and Hey J welcome to our group!

@J I am not sure I have ever heard of the D'Artigo sisters...looks like I have something to search :-)

[J]

Dawn, the D'Artigo sisters are the main characters of Yasmine Galenorn's Other World Series. The first 3 books are the series is called Witchling, Changeling, and Darkling. (I think that's the correct spelling)It is a very interesting series each book told in one sisters pov and they keep alternating throughout the collection.

[Marie]

Hello, I am new to this group. I just want to say hello to everyone.

Hi Marie! Welcome to the group :-)

[Penny]

My name is Penny, and I have been addicted to UF for a few years. I consumed the novels quickly at first, not really appreciating a good thing while it lasted, and too soon it was over. I've read, well, like, almost everything... and each time I finished a good book, the high ended, leaving me restless and shaken. And then I'd have to find another book, and another, reading fast, hurrying to find the escapism that I craved.
I tried branching out, the popular fiction that Oprah approves of, titles that I felt intellectual carrying with covers I didn't hurry to hide. But slowly I slipped back, a mystery here or there, followed by a thriller. And when I started reading teen novels and historical romance, I knew all hope was lost. I just can't stay away from UF, the only problem is, there aren't enough books!!!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Penny
Your introduction is very funny!
Welcome to the group, I must admit the last few weeks I cannot seem to get into reading anything. I always dread the reading slump :-(
Therefore I am going to ask you what have you read that was really good recently.

[Penny]

I finished two teen novels this week, both were good. First was Keeping the Castle by Patrice Kindl, light and fun, it satisfied my Jane Austen craving. Next was Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, an entertaining fantasy. I tried to read Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, but I figured it was going to have a dismal ending, so I gave up pretty early on, even though the writing was quite good. It's shallow, I know, but I need a happy ending. So that's it, good reading!

[Anjini]

hey every one I'm Anjini Agrawal from India..
I love to read books currently reading Archeron by sherrilyn kenyon....please suggest some more books....

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Anjini Welcome to the group.
I think we all love Ash LOL
I am sure you will find a lot of books here to read!

I will have to check some of those out thanks Penny!

[Rebecca]

Hi! My name is Rebecca. I love paranormal romance. It can take you away for awhile & let you escape from all that's happening around you.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Welcome Rebecca! That is very true plus PNR is always the guy who in real life you would want to throw under the bus but it seems so well manly in the book LOL

[Ashley]

Hello,
Im Ashley. recently became addicted to the series Mercedes Thompson by Patricia Briggs :) which made me stumble upon this, because im currently stuck with the waiting for the next book to come out and i need new books to fill that space :)

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey Ashley Welcome to the group...have you read Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series yet?

[☀Rachael☀]

Hey I'm Rachael I'm a SAHM from the UK. I love listening to UF audiobooks while my 3 year old run round in circles. My current fave authors are Patricia Briggs, Seanan McGuire, Ilona Andrews, Charlaine Harris and Molly Harper but that could all change tomorrow!

[Patricia]

I am Pat. I am currently reading books by Kim Harrison, Lee Child, and Dennis Lehane

Hi Rachel, welcome to the group...I am sorry but I do not know what a SAHM is? Could you spell it out?

Hi Pat, Welcome to the group.

[Amy]

Hey I'm Amy, and i usually read anything that grabs me. Huge Kim Harrison fan along with Alexandra Ivy, Kelley Armstong and Jeannie Frost. I also love my home state girl Molly Harper.

[Joni]

Hi. I'm Joni. I enjoy most PNR, as well as mysteries and suspense. I spend way too much time on GR. I really enjoy the challenges, even though it may take me twice as long as everyone else.

Welcome Joni and you know as long as you meet your own goals that is all that matters!

[Juburkasaurus]

Hi hi, JulieB commenting :D. Anyway, I am not new to GR but I am new to the groups. I thought I should build up my GR collection before immersing myself into a group. Well, obviously I am a big PNR person. My authors of choice are: J.R. Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lynsay Sands, Ilona Andrews, Gena Showalter, and the list goes on and on. I read other genres too, but recently it has mainly been PNR and UF.

[Rebecca]

Hi!

Thanks for this thread, Jess.

I'm Rebecca Berto. I started my blog, Novel Girl exactly a year ago today to talk about writing, books, authors and publishing -- everything books.

I am also a writer and will become a proper author shortly when my first book, PRECISE is published this November 2012.

My favourite books are those that give me chills up my spine and drag me into their world with unforgettable characters and a message that blows me away. One of these for me was THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER by Kim Edwards.

Hi and bye!

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey JulieB welcome to the group!

[Maria Cristalyn]

Hi, I'm Maria! Been pretty inactive (from groups) since I had first joined GR but I thought why not join a group? So here I am! I absolutely adore PNR & UF books. Though my interests don't stop there. I also read lots of romance/teen fiction novels too and anything that can catch my attention. I'm always hungry for more books, even though my to-read list is ever growing! Hopefully I'll find just that in this group :)

[Lauren]

Hi everyone,
I'm Lauren and I'm a very eclectic reader. I only discovered PNR and UF in the past couple of years after getting a Kindle (I think I must have been living in a cave before then).
My favorite authors are Kresley Cole, Nalini Singh, Gena Showalter, Karen Mari Moning (read most of the Highlanders but only started the Fever series last month so it's great that Darkfever is BOTM).
Anyway, looking forward to chatting with you all.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hi Maria Cristalyn
Welcome to the group!
I think lots of people like books from other genres like you.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey Lauren welcome to the group.
LOL re: living in a cage

[Shannon]

Hello everyone, my name is Shannon. I love to read, started reading again after graduating from college when school books weren't required reading anymore and husband was deployed to Iraq.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Hey Shannon
Welcome!

[Jocelyn]

Hi folks! My name is Jocelyn Adams, and I love to devour both UF & PNR books. My favorites are Karen Marie Moning (my hero!), Laurel K. Hamilton and Nalini Singh.

I'm also an author of dark UF with romantic twists & PNR. I look forward to chatting up my favorite genres with you. Cheers!

[Paige]

Hi, my name's Paige. In short i love pretty much anything to do with the supernatural regardless of the intended audience. I do like some contemporary and romance novels but supernatural is my first love. I started with LKH but have found so many amazing authors since then. Anywho, that's just a bit about me amd I hope to find more awesome authors through this group.
