Cristina (mrsbudryzer) | 371 comments Your Lovers of Paranormal Mods really like to read book reviews. We think it's what makes Goodreads SO special. Being able to share our reading experiences with people from accross the world is simply amazing. We strongly encourage everyone to write detailed, interesting and complete reviews of the books you read. Feel free to share them with us! Even though this group is dedicated to Paranormal stuff, I think we all read other type of books from time to time. Any reviews are welcome here!

That's great that you are welcome to the non-PNR stuff too, Cristina. It's nice to branch out sometimes and try something different. :)

I have tried to read non paranormal and I find myself think OH IF HE WAS A VAMPIRE.... Lol I'm just paranormal through and through!

I also love reading our groups review. I'm jealous that I can't put into words like most of you an but, I am getting there!

LOL- I have thought myself too, Carrie! Vamps and shifters are nice, but sometimes it's also good just to read about a sexy good ol' boy!

Hahaha! That's great. Next time I read Jane Eyre I'm going to wonder what would happen if Jane was a faerie, Rochester a werewolf, Adele a creepy vampire child, and Bertha a ghost. (Bertha being a ghost would have been convenient, doncha think?)

Guess we need to expand the genre mixing started with P&P and Zombies, hmm?

message 12: by Jill (new)

Jill (adecentmelody) I couldn't help myself! Jane Eyre is my favorite book. :D

But let's stay on topic, eh? I'm about to go through all of the reviews I have posted on GR and paste the actual text of the review in there. I currently just have a little note in all of them directing people to my blog (because I think my blog is pretty), but I can see how that would look spammy and be annoying.

Once I get things switched over, I'll post a list of books I've reviewed in here. I'll fish out the paranormal ones and put them on top. ;) It might make me look pretty sad in the paranormal department though. I love paranormal books, don't get me wrong, but I love lots of other kinds too. :D

I've actually reviewed more paranormal books than I thought, even though they don't make up even half of the reviews I've done.

And lest you think I spend meticulous hours on my reviews, just know they are usually casual initial responses to the book. I don't put too much effort into perfecting a review. I am a bit too relaxed for that. I wouldn't do them otherwise. It'd feel too much like homework. :P

Just because they are not all PN doesn't mean you can't include them! LOL! I read mainly PN books, but I also read a lot of other types of books as well. This is definitely the place to share all of the books everyone has reviewed, no matter what genre! Thank you for all the ones you have added!! :)

Michael Brookes (technohippy) Inside Evil by Geoffrey Wakeling

Geoff Wakeling's 'Inside Evil' is a pretty good paranormal horror. Good enough that I'll be checking out the rest of the series :-)


message 16: by Jill (new)

Jill (adecentmelody) I recently reviewed Eggs by Jerry Spinelli and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Those links will take you to the reviews if you're interested. :)

Spinelli's was a 4-star, Creatures was a 3-star.

CaroleDee | 0 comments Recently read a book by a relatively unknown author. She's not really big into social media, so it's no wonder there hasn't been more buzz about her books. She's got one, The Earl with the Dragon Tattoo, that's frickin amazing! It's like a mix between PNR, Urban Fantasy, and Regency. I loved it so much I'm trying to get the word out! (I don't want to come off all spammy, but I'm in full fan-girl mode and can't contain myself ;)

I've just finished House of Mirrors by Lisa Loga, it's an entertaining story and solid debut novel. It could have been more, but don't let that put you of, it's worth checking out:
