Introduce Yourself!
thanks I'm having fun
Hi! My name is Claudia. I love reading, my husband would say I am obsessed. I love series books. My favorite authors are Christine Feehan, Karen Chance, Lynsay Sands, Kim Harrison, Eileen Wilks and Kerrelyn Sparks. I just started Susan Sizemore since none of the authors above have any new books out at the moment.
Hi! I'm Sandra. I love to read; and since I retired three years ago, I've added a lot of books to my TBR pile (well, mountain actually). I enjoy mysteries, romantic suspense, contemporary romance, fantasy, and PNR. Favorite authors include Jayne Ann Krentz (under any pen name-I have them all), Linda Howard, JR Ward, Donna Andrews, Shelly Laurenston, and Andre Norton (from back in the day). I loved Soulless and can't wait till Blameless comes out which is when I'll buy Changeless since I hate cliffhangers.
Welcome to the group Claudia and Sandra!!
I'm Brainycat, and while I've enjoyed erotica for a long time it's only been recently that I've been introduced to PNR erotica. I'm currently reading Pleasure Unbound and enjoying immensely; I like how Eilodon and Tayla are equals.
Hi Everybody,I just joined. I love urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Love love Charlainne Harris and really loved early Laurel K. Hamilton stuff. I also like the Jenna Black series and I'm really trying to find another paranormal series to keep me entertained.
I also write urban fantasy/ paranormal romance.
Looking forward to your reading suggestions!
HP Mallory
Hi Brainycat welcome!!Hi HP! I'm sure you will find some great reading suggestions!
If you're looking for a great new read, you MUST read Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series. Urban Fantasy excellence. Bk 1: Unholy Ghosts Bk 2: Unholy Magic Bk 3: City of Ghosts (out 7/27/10).
Hello everybody!My name is Johanna and I joined Goodreads only few weeks ago, so I'm still learning how to use the site. A year ago I really didn't know that I liked PNR. It all started with Twilight saga and Sookie Stackhouse series. After that I discovered J. R Ward and The Black Dagger Brotherhood (which I REALLY REALLY LOVED!!!). Now I'm obsessed to find more books and series to read within this genre.
I'm glad I found you guys to help me with that!!! :)
Hi Johanna,welcome and happy reading :-)
Hi I'm Levi, guess I ever done one of these... I'm from little old Wales :) and love reading at every moment I can spare! :) I love this whole Paranormal romance and fiction genre, but will still read a book from any genre giving it's a good read and written to excite :) I maybe obsessed with books, so much so that my bedroom is bordering on looking like the local library! ha :) ... well okay maybe not but still I spend more time reading than sleeping there... would love to make friends and chat :)
Welcome Johanna and Levi!! I hope you like the group :)
Hello, My name is Sue. I've read, read, read my whole life and am a former reference librarian. One of my first favorites is Jane Eyre, and currently I really enjoy anything by Patricia Briggs, James Butcher, Charlaine Harris and Faith Hunter. I'm looking forward to sharing with everyone and getting suggestins for more reading.
Hello my name is Jennifer. I love PNR. If I could only read that I would. I also like the smut romances and suspense Romances too. I am a huge fan of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the Night Huntress series. I am always looking for a good series to start. I got addicted to PNR with the whole Twilight series but after going to JR ward I don't think I could ever do Young Adult again. Just not enought there to keep me motivated.
Jennifer - welcome to the group. I'm a huge fan of the BDB too! And if you are a fan of the Night Huntress series you should enjoy the group read for next month! We are reading Eternal Kiss of Darkness. Hope you have fun!
Hey Rachel, welcome to the group and to GoodReads! I hope you find some more authors to read in these genres.
rachel you are going to love this site. its very easy to get addicted to!!!
hey :) m name is lydia green , i have just made an account with good reads after my friend recommended it. The main reason i signed up for the website is to discover some unique interesting books that i have not got in my collection at home.This group realy interested me by its genre of Fanatasy / gothic romanaces.etc. As i find a fantasy book is so unpredictable and addictive.
Welcome to GR and this group, hope you find some great recommendations!
HI My name is Brandee an right now I am reading "Eternal kiss of Darkness" by Jeaniene Frost. But I love Patricia Briggs the Mercy Thompson series and Cassandra Clare, Rachelle Mead, Rachel Caine, P.C Cast, Kelly Armstrong....I have a book list that just keeps growing..Everyone has such great suggestions....
Brandee wrote: "HI My name is Brandee an right now I am reading "Eternal kiss of Darkness" by Jeaniene Frost. But I love Patricia Briggs the Mercy Thompson series and Cassandra Clare, Rachelle Mead, Rachel Caine, ..." and your list is only going to get bigger. funny enough my only complaint with having so many on my TBR list is which one to read first!!! oh and the money to buy them all.

Hi, I'm Jeanine.I discovered PNR a year or so ago. I love series like J.R. Ward's that revolve around a specific group of people with the focus on a different one each book. Having said that I do like some of the urban fantasy, but I have to have romance, and I'm definitely a one man woman fan. So, I love Cat & Bones, Mercy Thompson. Other than those I tend to stay away from UF.
Well hey everyone I'm a newbie to the group and just stopping by to say hey. :)
Thanks for welcoming me to the group. I really like It so far.
Introducing myself: I'm Jaclyn, an avid PNR reader, as well as romance in general, and I definitely have room in my heart for UF.
HI Jaclyn..So what are you reading now??
Just finished Beyond The Darkness (Guardians of Eternity, #6) by Alexandra Ivy and now I'm thinking about diving into Larissa Ione's Demonica series. I'm always looking for new suggestions, though! One of the reasons I love these Goodreads groups - to see what others are reading.
Ok, I've got to ask, since I'm new to this posting thing - how do you get the cover to show up in a post?
Jaclyn, when you click the link add book/author at the top of the comment box, you can search for a book to add. Before you type in the book you want, go to the bottom and it says link, or cover.Choosing link will do this: Ravenous
Choosing cover will do this:
Hope this helps, if not, let us know.
Hi Everyone - I just realized that while I joined a while ago I never posted an intro here. Anyway, my name is Karen and I live in Massachusetts with my dog and an ever growing TBR pile. Like many others I found my way to PNR through the Sookie Stackhouse books. Amazon kept recommending JR Ward, Kenyon and Kresley Cole so I broke down and started on the BDB and after that I was hooked. I'm newer to the UF side of things and I'm currently loving the Mercedes Thompson series. I also enjoy mysteries and historical romance. I'm looking forward to the October reads since I haven't read either book but they both look interesting.
hey... im Matthew 20yo, started with well harry potter, who didnt my age? work at a book store starting tomorrow. been reading a long time find more pleasure out of a good book then a good movie. I like PNR and UF where a single couple developes and grows over time..Magic bites/Cry wolf, etc I love entertaining books that have lots of action especially when a hero/heroine work together. hate love triangles. always takin recommendations on new stuff to read.
Hi Matthew! Welcome to the group.. and you can definitely find recommendations for books all over. Hope you enjoy it here :)

Hi Brandi! Welcome! I don't think you will have any trouble finding more books to read. You may have the opposite problem, in finding too many that you can't keep up lol.
