Hello everyone!

[Marilyn]

I'm one of six members of the Speculative Salon blog, who volunteered to get our book club running.

A geek to the core for all things fantasy related, RPGs, anime, manga, and more. At the moment, I'm gaming more than reading. But for our book club, hoping to read and discuss more.

I can't wait to start.

Hi everyone! I'm an urban fantasy writer and also a Salon blogger. I'm really excited to be in a book club again, and please send me a friend request if we aren't already.

Thanks so much for organizing this, Marilyn!

I have been interviewing a number of paranormal authors recently. My latest was Moondancer Drake, multicultural paranormal, shapeshifters and magic, abound in her stories. http://moondancerdrake.livejournal.com to find out more about her writing, and http://blogtalkradio.com/readingslab/... to hear the interview.

Hi, all!

I write speculative fiction and poetry...and tomorrow I am going to see the release of my debut urban fantasy. (Squee with me!)

I am really glad to be here and look forward to getting to know you guys...

[Ella]

Congratulations, Ash! I put Bleeding Hearts on my to-read list - it looks awesome :)

Hi R.J., Eddie, Lara, Meham, and Victoria! So nice to see you all here!

[Ash]

Thanks, Ella! I hope you enjoy it. :)

I really love seeing Robert Jordan's books on the list...I read each one as they came out and eventually my husband (then, still the bf) got hooked. He collects the different editions and we have an entire book case of just that series.

It's time I go back and read them again...been way too long.

Hello. I am a Teen/Children's Librarian but my heart has always been with all things fantasy/gothic/scifi. I have recently been drawn toward steampunk. Thanks for having me in the group.

[Nici]

Hi. My name is Nici. I haven't ever been to the salon nor am i am a blogger. I am glad to be here though!

[Ella]

Welcome Karyn and Nici!

Some of us will be posting our reviews on the Speculative Salon blog once we finish our reading, but most of the general discussions will be here on Goodreads.

Not that you shouldn't check out the site anyway, LOL.
