Thanks Cassie! I'm so glad you're interested in my books! Sorry for the late reply; I didn't see your comment or Amy's comment earlier.

Thanks, Phil! I'm glad I found this 'madhouse'!

[Amy Eye]

This madhouse will not require any padded rooms or straight jackets unless specifically requested...

Thanks for letting me come around this group of readers. I am an author who is trying to make it out of the mail room and into the publishing room. I will like very much to share my work here. I see that this is a very distinct set of people with a very wide liking to different genres of literature. Please come check out and help us get some reviews up on amazon.com. I would like very much to talk about the book with the people who take a moment to read it.

[Kenya]

Hi everyone! I'm Kenya D. Williamson. I'm happy to join the group. I'm a novelist, screenwriter and actress from Levittown, PA. Currently, I live in Los Angeles. I wrote Depth of Focus: A Novel.

So far, the book's getting great reviews. But, I'd love more. One thing that makes my work unique? All my fiction is made up of poetry without stanzas.

I don't think I said hi in here, so hi :) Hope to get to know you all over time.

So, do we post the reviews we post on Goodreads here too? Or whichever ones we feel like doing?

[C.S. Splitter]

Mysti,

I don't work here :), but maybe post a link to the review?

[Cassie]

I am SO bad about not putting my reviews here!! I think either putting the entire review OR the link would be fine.

Cam or Amy may correct me on that... ;-)

[Amy Eye]

Hello to Greg, Kenya, and Mysti!!

This is a fairly easy group - I'm not overly strict with rules or anything like that, so feel free to browse around and see if there is any conversation you want to jump in on!

You can post any and all of your reviews on here that you may write. You can put your reviews directly on here, or you can post a link. It is entirely up to you.

If you are an author looking for reviews, you have come to the right place, we are growing by leaps and bounds and always seem to have people looking for great books to read!

[Kenya]

Thank you for the warm welcome, Amy! I'll be back -- probably after a couple hours of sleep.

Have a great night! :)

[Amy Eye]

Sounds wonderful!! Thanks for joining!!

Hi everyone, my name's Emma, I'm 27 and I'm from the UK.

Thank you for letting me join your group - I'm still figuring things out in terms of posting reviews and getting involved in discussions but I love to read and share my thoughts with other bookworms and this looks like the perfect place to do that.

[Amy Eye]

Hiya, Emma!! Welcome to our cozy little part of GoodReads. We are happy to have you here, and hope you plan on joining in all of the fun that happens here! :)

You are in a great place to meet new friends, talk about your favorite, or least favorite, piece of literature, and just talk about the randomness that is waiting to escape us all!

[Cassie]

Welcome Emma! Great to have you!

[Jen]

Hi Emma! :-p

[Cambria]

Hi Stephen!!! Welcome to the group! I don't mind old farts as long as they don't stink! ;)

I'm good with however you roll! I usually post here and on the books page!!
You can do either whatever u want!!

[Cambria]

Hi Greg, Kenya and Misti!!!
So great to see new people! The People around here were really starting to bore me......LOL not really. :)
Congratulations on finding such a fun place to be!! and welcome!!

[Mysti]

I get along great with old farts. Just ask my husband! Tee hee. :)

[Cambria]

LOL!!!!!!

Hi, Steve, and welcome to Bedlam. Relax and enjoy the view from your padded cell (the ones Amy claims we don't have). You're not the only "old fart" around here, if it's any consolation.

You'll enjoy it, so long as we don't fart in unison.

I can tell you are going to fit in perfectly around here...

Welcome to our group. As long as you don't mind chatty women, wetsuits, and cheese... :-)

[Amy Eye]

Nice to have you here Stephen!! This is a great group to be a part of, we have loads of fun, talk about almost everything you can think of, and make new friends all the time. It's a great community!

@ phil - we can't go around advertising the padded rooms just yet, somethings have to remain a mystery!! :)

Wetsuits? I'm intrigued - is that some kind of uniform we have to wear whilst online, lol?

Sorry, Amy. Didn't think. Is it all right if we break wind occasionally?

Not uniform, just don't be caught without one. They're not the real problem -- trying to dance in swim fins is hardest, that and the hundred metre dash with facemask and air tank.

[Char]

Hi everyone. =) My name's Charmaine, I'm 20 years old and I live in Wales. I love to review books, I mainly post on my blog but this group seems like a great place to post my reviews as I write them.

Okay...I guess that fits then :-).

[Amy Eye]

Hello to Charmaine and Tony! Welcome to the group! As you can already tell by the conversation going on all around us, this is a very upbeat, fun group to be a part of. We all help each other out, help promote one another, and share anything we think may be of help to someone! Welcome!!!

At Phil and Steve - You guys are going to end up the best of friends, I can already tell!! :)

[Char]

Thanks for the welcome Amy, I loved how much fun everyonew seemed to be having which is why I joined. can't wait to share my reviews with everyone. =)

[Mysti]

Welcome to more farts, old and new ;)

Nobody said it was easy -- but it feels good when you finish...

[Amy Eye]

You guys are cracking me up! This is fabulous!

[J.A.]

Wotcha peeps.

See you haven't got any more sensible while I was away shifting furniture... and whatever is that smell?!

Oh it's the cheese again. Who bought "Stinking Bishop"?

Welcome to all the new guys too! See you're taking to the fart / wetsuit / cheese-related banter with some aplomb (and don't start with the fruit jokes now, it's too early and I haven't had my coffee yet!)

[Sandra "Jeanz"]

Hi, Firstly i love reading, though think prob my reviewing skills could improve. i tend to try not to put much in about the story itself as i dont like reading those sort of reviews that giveaway too much of what happens in the book. I tend to comment more on if i enjoyed it why? did i like characters? did it make me want to read next book? i also comment if it was "easy" to read, scenes well described etc.

Hi Sandra, I sometimes think my reviews are a bit vague too because I hate stumbling across spoilers myself. I tend to follow a pattern of; What is the plot about, what did I like, what didn't I like and then an overall summary - so the way you go about your reviews sounds right up my street.

Hi Charmaine - nice seeing you here too. (I just joined Basically Books)

Thanks everyone for the welcome - I can see why the group is called 'Creative'Reviews now.

Hi Emma, nice seeing you here too. (I know I want to read your book when it comes out.)

Thanks to everyone for the welcomes. This seems like a place filled with nice but crazy people. I think I'll fit in just fine. =)

It really should. It's a stupid word.

[Amy Eye]

Sandra - welcome to the group! We are always happy to have a new member, and you look like you will fit in quite nicely! I truly hope you enjoy yourself in this group!! :)

What is this word "normal" you all speak of??

[Amy Eye]

Great to have you here, Brazen, and thanks for the news!! :)

[Amy Eye]

HAHAHA!! You are correct, I have driven through there before! :)

[Cassie]

Isn't there one in Oklahoma too? Wait...I am pretty sure there is one in Alabama... ;-)

[Amy Eye]

Oh no - it gave me goosebumps, I'm not sure why....

[Cambria]

A town called normal is probably full of serial killers and people who eat only toast....

@ everyone who has recently joined and I have not had a chance to say Hiya....Hiya!!! Welcome to the group! As you can see we are a group of wacky people that have a great time! So glad to have you all join us for the fun!
