Introduce Yourself!
Thank you for the welcome Jess. I am absolutely certain that Good Reads will help me expand my library of books to read. Thank you again for letting me be a part of the group.
Ummm......Ny bane is lexi, but I go more by my last name, Snow. My favorite author would have to be Stephen King. I started reading his book when I think I was like 10. I guess I am just addicted now.
Hi Everyone!My name is MJ and I'm 20 years old, born and raised in Sweden but my parents are originally from Hungary.My favorite genre is Paranormal Romance! I'm currently waiting for the release of the next book from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, (I absolutely love that series!)
I love this site because you get to talk to a lot of great people with the same passion for reading, none of my friends like to read at least not like I do :P so I really didn't have anyone to talk to about books, giving and receiving book recs.
Thank you Goodreads and my fellow book addicts :)
Hi! I'm Cassi... Reading has been my favorite pastime as long as I can remember, but I took a short break when I started grad school and working full-time. When I got my Kindle last spring (as a graduation present to myself) I jumped right back in where I left off and didn't realize how much I'd missed it! Since then, I've caught up on a ton of new authors and series and can't wait to find more. I'm glad to have found this group, as it fits so perfectly with what I enjoy reading, and I can't wait to read along with my first BOM club in April.
Welcome to the group MJ! I also have only one friend who reads the same books, so Goodreads really helped me out!!!Welcome Cassi. I'm glad this group fits with what you like to read. Have fun with April's book :)
Hi! I'm Gwen. I'm a PNR and UF junkie. Along with reading like a maniac, I am also a writer, I am so excited, I am going to the WRW retreat and I am going to meet Charlaine Harris!!! One of my favorite authors :) I'm excited to share with you all and hopefully to find new books to feed my addiction! :)
Welcome MJ, Cassie and Gwen! Sounds like you guys fit right in with us!Gwen - I am extremely jealous! You will have to tell us all about meeting Harris! BTW, do you have any books that have been published? If so, I'd be interested in checking them out!
Not yet,this will be my first writer's convention, I'm really excited. I will be published though,if it kills me :) I'll let everyone on the planet know when I do ! :)
Hi My name is christina. I mostly read fantasy and PNR. My current favorite author is C.E.Murphy.
Hi Christina! Welcome to the group, I hope you find more authors to enjoy. :)
My name is Jamie and I'm a readaholic. I have read all my life and now that th ekids are grown and gone, I can submerse myself in my one addiction. READING!!
Hi Jamie! Welcome... I think we can all say that we have the same addiction, so I think you will enjoy yourself here :)
Hi, my name is Leigh. I love PNR and UF. I'm not much into romance, unless it's going along with PNR or UF. My favorite authors are Charlaine Harris and Patricia Briggs, but I'm on the lookout for more. I read Twilight and loved the premise, but wanted something a bit more adult. From there I found Sookie and from Sookie I found Mercy and I'm looking forward to finding many more books to read! :)
Hi Leigh, I just finished the first Mercy book and really liked it. I plan to read the Sookie books, too. My husband and I are finally watching Season 1 of True Blood and Sookie is a fascinating character.

Hi Leigh welcome to the group! Hope you find what you're looking for :)
Hi everyone I just finish the last book of the Vampire Diaries series it was not everything I expected and the end was funny and a little estrange. But I still love Stefan and Damon, even though the man of my dreams is Dimitri B.VA is the best!!
L.J.Smith and Richelle Mead are great authors check them out.
I'm Amber. :) I love reading young adult literature, especially fantasy and horror.
Ello Ello, My name is Katie and I love the supernatural genre in general. Twilight really started my addiction to it, but now I have read through quite a few series. Like Sookie, Rachel Morgan, Mercy Thompson, Cassie Palmer, The Imortals, Darkest Powers, Evernight Academy, and The Mortal Instruments.

Hi my name is Eve and I am a book addict. LOLI am a married mom of three kids (4,6 & 9). I work as a webmistress full time and sneak in writing when my family allows.
I love paranormal stories especially if it's got some romance mixed in. Loved and read Twilight Series, Anita Blake up to book 17, Mercy series by Patricia Briggs, Dresden and of course Kim Harrison's with, Rachel with fantastic supporting character Jenks.
I recently read the first few books in the Vampire Diaries which were okay, but I feel Damon has been shafted. I've got a thing for the bad guys. Am acquiring and reading the Dark Hunter books as well as the Immortals After Dark which I love. I also want to read the Sookie series--on my list.
I joined to talk about the books I've read and to find the next series to take me away. Nice to meet you all!
Welcome Eve! I hope you do find some more series books that interest you :)
Hi Everyone!! I have the same favorite writers as a lot of you!!! My absolute favorite series are the Dark-Hunters (Sherrilyn Kenyon), Anita Blake and Merry Gentry (Laurell K Hamilton), Mercy and Alpha/Omega (Patricia Briggs), Night Huntress (Jeaniene Frost), Fever series (Karen Marie Moning), Sookie Stackhouse (Charlaine Harris), Immortals After Dark (Kresley Cole) and Demonica (Larissa Ione)!
I am looking forward to SUGGESTIONS!!!!!
I plan on starting Nalini Singh's Psy/Changling series next.
Pamela in ATX
Pamela - welcome to the group! I've just recently started the Psy/Changling series myself and they are really good! You just have to ignore the cheesy covers! lol Have you read the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J R Ward? If not, by the looks of the rest of your list, you would really enjoy that series to!
Hey my name is Bec and I love to read Paranormal Romance series :D
Hello fellow reader's I'm Alisha. I enjoy reading PNR, urban fantasy, fairy tales (with a twist or dark ones) and the classic's as well as Jane Austen. My favorite urban fantasy writer is Patricia Briggs, and I was so thrilled to have actually met her last week. Keri Arthur is also a favorite along with Christina Warren and others. I love following series that have a strong kick-ass leading lady, who is still a sexy femme fatale. My reading choices aren't restricted to these genres I'll read any this is just my favorite, cause I love werewolves. Always have, you know that question they ask in school if you were an animal what would it be. For me it was always a wolf there a beautiful species. Even had a huskey-wolf hybrid when I was younger, man I miss her :( Just joined goodreads in March and have already pick up a few books suggested by others, look forward to meeting new friends. And if there are any urban fantasy or PNR book clubs in San Diego someone knows about, please suggest thanks.
Hi Alisha, welcome to the group. That's awesome that you got a chance to meet Patricia Briggs. She's one of my faves! Hope you have a good time here
Hi, I'm Grace! I like almost all paranormal books/series. My favorite authors are Kelley Armstrong and Lilith Saintcrow. I was so excited I saw a lot of the books looked good on the bookshelf in this group, and a lot I've already read. :D Which is why I joined this group.Um, I might not be able to read all the books this group will be currently reading. Because my library doesn't always have them. :-\
But this group does look totally awesome. :D
I'm surprised the Jill Kismet series and the Strange Angels series aren't on here. Or the Darkest Power ones. :)
My name is Sarah. My love for urban fantasy is new, I was always a high fantasy reader and I didn't even know there was a subdivision besides "sci-fi" until recently. Last year I stumbled on (okay, I was thrust) The Alchemist series by Michael Scott and have since read the entire Divine By... Series by PC Cast, and have fallen head over heels with Patricia Brigg's Mercede's Thompson series. It really is a toss but between Briggs and Cast for favorite.
Hey, Sarah, I've never read the Mercede's Thompson series. I've heard so much about it though. Is it that good???? :)
Welcome to the group Grace. I'm sure at one point there were discussions about Jill Kismet and Strange Angels. If you look in the folders it's sorted by author. If you don't find Lilith Saintcrow anywhere, you can always start a new discussion :)
Welcome Sarah!! Briggs is also one of my favorites from the genre. Hope you enjoy it here!

Hi. I'm Brandi but go by BK. I love paranormal reads. My favorite author I would have to say is Laurell K. Hamilton. Her Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series is the best. I also love Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer. My newest addition to this genre is Ellen Schreiber of Vampire Kisses Series. Any suggestions for new reads is greatly appreciated. I love this genre! Glad to be here and am looking forward to this group :).
Just check out the book shelf here. Pretty much all of them are awesome looking, though I haven't read some of them.I'd recommend anything by Lilith Saintcrow/Lili St. Crow. She's the best.
And welcome!

Also you can look through the different author threads, or in the What are you reading thread. You'll definitely get some great ideas there! Good luck!
Welcome BK! I've also read the Vampire Kisses series. My son has the whole series and bugged me til I read one and then I had to read the whole series.
I've never heard of Vampire Kisses. What are they about?
Hello, my name is Danielle and I love to read almost anything. My favorite genre would be paranormal romance. I began reading paranormal romance when I happened upon Christine Feehan's Dark Prince and I have been hooked since. I'm really excited about joining the group and talking with people that also love my kind of books.
