Introduce Yourself!

[Kerstin]

Hi, I am Kerstin, sitting here in my Black Forest Home in Southern Germany and just stumbled across your wonderful group! I really love books and enjoy reading Kenyon, Ward, Feehan, Brockmann and many others. And as I can't wait for books to be translated into German I usually read them as they come... in English ;)

[Jess]

Hi Kerstin! Welcome to the group!

[Welwyn]

Greetings. I'll read almost anything in the fantasy genre. Paranormal relationships is new for me but interesting. Has anyone read "Sunshine" by Robin McKinley? She's a fabulous author, her books just fill me with delight. This one is (I think) her first paranormal one. Very good. Hope to be introduced to some more good ones here.

[Jess]

Hi Welwyn, welcome to the group!

I currently have over 1000 books on shelves or in piles on my floor waiting to be read:-D

I'm a huge fan (read addict) of PNR, fantasy, HR and HF, although I also enjoy contemp romance.. Favorite series of all time are the Tairen Soul (last book just came out!) books and the BDB:-)

Hey Alisha, I look forward to chatting with you. Welcome to the group.

[Tracy]

I'm 38 years old and thought I didn't like to read until someone told me to read Twilight. I just wasn't reading the right types of books for me. Since reading Twilight, I have been hooked on reading. I love paranormal romances and contemporary romances. I love J.R. Ward, Larissa Ionne, and Charlaine Harris. Hopefully since finding this new passion, I will be able to add many more authors to that list.

[Jess]

Hi Tracy, welcome to the group :)

[Tamara]

Hi,

My name is Tamara, I'm from Belgium. So my English is not so good. I read the books in English, but I don't write of speak it often. So sorry if I write things wrong.

I started recently reading paranormal romance and I am addicted! Some of my favorite authors are Charlaine Harris, Laurell. K. Hamilton, Richelle Mead, ...
My to read pile is daily increasing :-)
So I hope that I will find here some new books that I can add to my to read pile :-)

[Jess]

Hi Tamara, welcome to the group. Charlaine Harris is one of my favorite authors as well! Hope you enjoy yourself here.

[Donna (BLHmistress)]

I do still love Historical but haven't read any in awhile . My fave Authors include Sherrilyn Kenyon,JR Ward Lara Adrian, Larissa Ione, Gena Showalter and many more

[Jess]

Welcome to the group Donna. Kenyon was also the first author I read that was in this genre and I haven't looked back since!

[Donna (BLHmistress)]

I honestly at first didn't think I would like it but my niece kept insisting and boy was she right , trusted her tastes since then as well

Smart move to trust her :)

[Chelsy]

Hello everyone I'm Chelsy and I'm a book addict and I love love love PNR/UF!!!
I am currently on a werewolf kick but it all started with a "Dark" book by Ms. Feehan 9 years ago.:)

[Jess]

Hi Chelsy, welcome to the group. I have definitely been on the werewolf kick before, it's a great place to be :)

[Vic]

Hey there - have been HUGE PNR/UF fan for many years. I'm not sure who I first read to put me on this path but I don't pause to ponder it because that gives me less time to read! I usually have to throw in some mystery/thriller works to break things up when reading these books seem way to similar or it starts feeling stale. I also do some romance suspense.

Also, I do a lot of "reading" through audiobooks. Most times I've already read the book/ebook before doing audio but I'm a huge fan of audible. ;)

[Jess]

Hey Vic, welcome to the group. I also switch up the genres often so I don't get bored!

[[deleted user]]

Hi. My name is Amanda. I will read anything, but I tend to lean toward books with a bite! I love paranormal, especially if they scare me!

[Jess]

Hi Amanda, sounds like you are in the right group! Welcome!

[Jen]

Hi! My name is Jen
Im brand new to GoodReads and looking forward to finding out more.
I started reading Urban Fantasy 2 years ago - and haven't stopped since. I can't remember every book I've read unless I see it in front of me so I love the lists in this place :)

I am looking forward to getting to know people and discussing books with you. My family just doesn't get my obsession :)

[Jess]

[Georgie]

I'm Georgie and I basically can't get enough of UF and PNR. My favorite all time is Keri Arthur and her Riley Jenson series I also really love Laurel K hamilton and her Anita Blake series. Anything with a were anything in it and I'll read it. :-) If any of you want to friend me please go ahead this is my first time on goodreads and I'm hoping to make some friends with a common interest

Hey Georgie, welcome to the group! I think you will definitely find people in this group that have the same tastes as you in books.

Good luck!

[Cat]

Hello. My name is Caitlin but everyone calls me Cat. I had no choice in the matter, so it just kind of stuck.

I've loved stories ever since I was a kid and that love just grew exponentially as I grew up. I'm now a student of English here at uni and just adore books of all kinds, both "Literature" and novelry. (Novelry is apparently not a "real" word, but I love it, so there.)

My favourite type of book is urban fantasy, though I prefer to call them supernatural thrillers. The term urban fantasy never really appealed to me, and most of the books that I read tend to be thrillers - or at least be attempting such - with a supernatural bent. Still, the prevailing title is urban fantasy and that is what I am stuck calling it.

As for authors, I tend to just read and bounce from book to book. My favourite right now is Patricia Briggs, which seems to be pretty popular around here. I've read Caitlin Kittridge's books since we share the same first name and spelling, but I'm not very impressed; I tend to call her my "crack" author, in the sense that I know it's bad for me and that it might one day kill me, but I can't help it.

I just finished reading Grave Witch by Kaylana Price and it was pretty good. Nothing phenomenal, but it had some interesting ideas and I look forward to seeing where the series goes in the future.

I guess that's it...sorry for all the words, I tend to ramble and just type. Nice to be here and I hope to have some interesting discussions with y'all.

-Cat
