Modern Good Reads discussion

I appreciate the invite. I'll be poking around here and there for sure and you can expect I'll be posting in the author's corner.

See ya soon.

I was wondering where Adult fiction with sexual content fits in on the categories?

Julie, we have an R4R category and thread. You can offer yours there for reviews, as well. Thanks

Barbie, we have an Erotic Romance thread in the Authors' Corner, and you can post your books in the Authors Introduce Your Books thread in the same folder. Thanks. To discuss Women's Lit, there is also a thread for that in the Literary Fiction folder. Thanks much.

Thanks so much for the invitation. Great idea. Looking forward to the discussions. All the best, KPym

Hi Chris,

Thanks for inviting me. Looking forward to networking with everyone!

Hi all. Great to be here. This is my first foray into Goodreads. I real romance, mystery, and anything that has a good plot and sympathetic characters. I write romantic suspense that tickles the funny bone.

Hello thank you for the invite. I am a bookworm and I have been since I was a kid. I do reviews for people as well you just have to send me the book and I will read and write the reviews where you need me to.

Hello, Christine - I've 12 books...:)

Hi, glad to join this group as I am a voracious reader. I like most genres excluding horror, and Western. I love romance in most genres, Sci-fi and fantasy, even YA.

Thanks for the invite, I'm always searching for new books and authors. Because I write middle grade and YA fiction, most of what I read fits into that category and am interested in titles I've not read.

Thanks for the invite! Sounds like an interesting group.

Hello - let's see what you've got! Need to read.

I'm trying to get some feedback on the R4R program that I see listed further down the discussion lists. Sorry, I didn't see a place there to ask questions about it. Kindly send me to the right place if this isn't it.

I'd like to know from the writers how successful this has been. I tried sending out free books for reviews elsewhere and got burned. Are you actually getting reviews from the people you send books to? Have they been honest and well-written? What is the percentage of positive reviews you've received? Thanks for any feedback you could post for me.

Hello,
I am James Amoateng, a dental surgeon and author. Very glad to be part of a great group of the book fraternity.
My books are listed on the authors corner. Wish everyone enjoys him or herself.

Thanks for the invite Travis! Looks like an amazing group. I'm honored to be a part of it.

Hello everyone! I'm Olivia from Peoria, Illinois. Some of my favorite authors are James Patterson, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, John Sandford, Jeffery Deaver, Jackie Collins, David Brin, and Ben Bova.

I look forward to participating in the Modern Good Reads Group. I'm a retired literature teacher who has published fiction in various places over the past 15 years or so. I taught at Loyola University New Orleans and live now in Duluth MN, where I read, write, and complain about the weather (it's May 4, and we have fresh snow). Cheers, everyone!

Welcome, everyone!
Bruce - you have fresh snow??? My condolences.

Thanks, D.H!

Thank you for the invite.

Hey, folks! I'm an indie author named Darren; I love in Cardiff, Wales, UK. Hoping to converse with readers and writers alike - pleasure to join here!

Thanks for the invite to this groups. I prefer dystopias, or apocalyptic literature, but I read just about everything. Favorite authors include Bradbury, Collins, McCarthy, David Brin, E.G. Burroughs, Orwell, Aldous Huxley...

Yes I am also an author, but I read a lot more than I write. Looking for some great recommendations in NEW dystopian literature.

Thank you for inviting me to the group! I'm a new author but am a bookaholic! I put my Kindle in overdrive and I've run out of shelf space in my home! I guess that isn't a bad thing.. :)

I love a good mystery, crime drama, anything romance, or historical fiction.

Thank you for the group invite.

As a fellow-author and a talk show host, I'm a strong advocate for the promotion of the novice and aspiring author. That's why I created a talk show.

With my show about to return from its hiatus, now is a good time for fellow authors to book their slots. Therefore, I'd like invite all your group members to book their slot on my talk show so that they may share the story behind the story of becoming an author?

The show is slated to return from its hiatus next month. In the meanwhile, click on the link below to familiarize yourself with my site.

Hi, ye all! Feels great to be here! :)

I'm Zee, author/editor/mum/loon from Mauritius. I write mostly contemporary romance but have branched out indie into PNR/Fantasy. Huge fan of small-town romances, and I'm a die-hard chick-lit afficionado (yes, unashamedly, she says...LOL)

Looking forward to meeting ye all and making friends, also discuss good books. :) xoxo

Happy to join. Thanks for the invite. Either I'm reading, writing, or marketing my writing. I just finished reading a magnificent book by Mark Helprin entitled "In Sunlight and in Shadow", loved, loved loved it! So good that I am already half way through another of his books, Winter's Tale. How wonderful to discover such an amazing writer.

Thanks for the invite, Christopher. Still looking for the "Authors' Corner," but I' sure it'll turn up. Looks like a great group.

Hi Chris, finally making a start with actively using Goodreads as a reader too. I love all sorts of reading material and am always on the look out for new authors to read. If only there were more hours in a day. :-)

Hi everyone. I wish I had time to read AND write these days but I am busy with work and my doctoral studies. My text books on management are not as fun and exciting as some of the stuff I would rather be reading, trust me. :(

Thank you for inviting me Travis even tho I'm not an author, blogger or reviewer. I am a Kindle addict who loves to read :) This group should be fun!!

Hi,
Thanks for the invite, hope to post in this group and get to know people.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts and opinions.
Norma :D

Thanks for the invite. My name is David Bennett. My choice of what I like to read seeps over into my own work. Love to read sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, mysteries, action, adventure, young adult, and from time to time romance.

Hi, all! Thanks, R. Grey, for the invitation. I'm always so shy in these situations, but am looking forward to the socializing. I love reading character-driven stories in any genre and I write romance.

This seems like a very lively group. Thanks very much for inviting me to it! I look forward to reading and discussing books with my fellow members! Enjoy! Happy Reading!

Thanks for the Invitation:) I am first and for most a reader..I adore books. I also have a blog that I review books on. My main reads these days are romances of all types however, I did go thru a 15 year span of being heavily into reading psychological Thrillers and Crime/mystery novels..also been known to dabble in fantasy..as you can see eclectic. I look forward to discussing books with you all

Thank you for inviting me to join the group. It seems like a great group.

Howdy, howdy. I write paranormal and contemporary romance, as well as fantasy and paranormal humor...I made up the paranormal humor category.

I'm also an avid reader, loving a lot of different genres depending on my mood. Thanks so much for inviting me in. I can't wait to get in on some good chats about books.

Thanks for inviting me to join your group. I write mysteries/crime and humour and I read mainly crime/thrillers and espionage books.

Many thanks for hosting and allowing me to join this group, Chris. I found the group via an enthusiastic recommendation across at Twitter.

Hey Everyone! I am a little new to this group but thought I'd introduce myself! My name is Rebecca and I'm 25 from the North East of England. I have a MA in modern history and love reading.

I have quiet a broad range of tastes when it comes to reading, from historical fiction to fantasy, crime fiction to romance autobiographies to history. At the moment I have decided for the first year to read all the books in the Richard and Judy reading list.

I am keen to start taking part in book discussion and look forward to taking part in this particular group :-)

Hello, thanks so much for letting me join!

I'm an avid reader (and Goodreadser), writer, and stumbled across this intriguing group while researching literary agents. I really enjoyed the Q&A session with agent Seth Fishman and am looking forward to checking out the group. I enjoy dark books, difficult books, books that make me think or that teach me something. I have an affinity for anything related to WWII and any literary war fiction. Also an obsession with spreadsheets and checking TBR books off lists!

I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Hello everyone. It's good to see so many authors in a group. I'm new to groups so I'm just figuring this stuff out. I read a lot but I don't have the imagination to be an author. I'm finding historical fiction the way to go at the moment. I find myself reading, and getting bored with, work related manuals and trade magazines so I'm here looking for ideas.

Sorry about this but I have a question. I am reading a book that doesn't show up on goodreads. Any advice for having it added would be appreciated.

I have a great book you might just like. It's not coming out until September 7th. But it's a sort of historically driven Thriller with a bit of sci-fi technology themes in the mix.
Do you like Dan Brown? He just released Inferno, the newest Lang book.

Dan brown is good. Brad Meltzer and Harry Turtledove make my list.

Hello. Sci-fi, fantasy writer and reader here.

I have a question: Has anyone else noticed that the goodreads recommendations are a little out of whack? They really ought to change the algorithm to look at the number of stars given to an book, instead of just whether you've read it. For instance, I have recommendations from my "Not So Good" bookshelf. LOL! I'm pretty sure these books have less than three stars for me. It's kind of unlikely I'll want to read a sequel to one of these books. Just sayin'.

Hi everyone! I would say that reading is my passion. my current obsession is Urban Fantasy. I also just opened my very own online fiction book store. Please if you have the time check it out. www.nocturnalarchivebooks.com

I am looking forward to some interesting conversations!

Dianne, thank you so much for inviting me. Hello everyone, I'm Maya, a writer, reviewer and avid reader, looking forward to getting involved in the group. I read mostly fantasy, supernatural, magical and literary but enjoy a mixed bag of genres and will give anything a go if it sounds interesting or gets a good rec.

I'm noticing a lot of ASMSG authors here. :) Discussions here look good, so I'm happy to be a member. I do wish the rules would go away. They pop up every time I post and it's very annoying. I hope they will go away at some point.
