Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hello! My name is Josh Grant and I’m on a quest to read and review one book from every author in the entire world! Yes, I know, it’s insane, but that’s sort of the latitude I operate in.
On my site, Diabolic Shrimp, I buy at least one book from our list of authors each week and eventually review that book on Amazon, Goodreads, and Diabolic Shrimp. I also buy a book each month to give away to our readers (so if you’re a reader reading this, then pop on by too). I’m a strong believer that authors should get paid for their work so I don’t require you to pay or do anything to receive this support (other than join Diabolic Shrimp which is free).
There are many other optional opportunities on Diabolic Shrimp to receive support as well such as competitions and free advertising. So if you’re interested in helping me on my quest, check out the link below!

Wow - you're awesome! I just joined! Thanks so much for doing this!

Thank you Josh! I just submitted. I see you like more fantasy and paranormal. I hope you don't mind a women's fiction. Sorry, You did say all genres!

Thanks for the kind words Eugenia! I look forward to checking out your work! :)

Hey Effie! I'm happy you submitted! I naturally gravitate towards YA, Fantasy, and Sci Fi, but that's one of the reasons why I love doing what I'm doing. It forces me to branch out from my bubble. I've been pleasantly surprised to find I like a bit of everything. Can't wait to read your stuff!

Thanks so much. I give you credit. That's quite an endeavor. I like to support other indie author as well and read and review for them as often as my schedule will allow.

Wow good luck on your quest!

Too cool Effie! As an author, it's not easy taking time away from your own writing to support others so that's really neat that you do that

Thanks Mark! But I don't need luck when I have the Force (and a Kindle). :)

Have just joined. Thanks for this, Josh! Hope you enjoy my book if you can fit it into your busy schedule.

This is awesome, Josh! I've just joined and submitted my title. I'm glad you like YA, so I hope my YA Dystopian novel is one of your favorites. :)

That's great to hear! I'll make the time for it! :)

Yes AC! Dystopia all the way!

Wow! What an endeavor. Can we join you and read books and review (for free too). I'm one of those who strongly believe in promoting good books for the benefits of readers. However, I only read selected genres. If that is okay with you, kindly get in touch.
Thanks.

Top top man, love you to read my books.

I am very interested! That is an awesome mission.

I have two poetry collections and two literary novellas on Kindle. Would be happy for a review of any of them.

Hey Ushasree! I give at least one free book away to our list of readers each month, so there's a chance you can get one there for free. And if authors want to give books away to readers, I try to connect them with people that would enjoy their novel. Feel free to sign up if that's of interest to you!

I love poetry Colleen! Check out Diabolic Shrimp if you're interested

Wonderful. You have good heart.

Let me know if you could spare some time for me to help me review my new mafia romance novella 1: The Lone Guardian. Any kind of comments are welcome. As a new author, I continuously strive to learn, improve and create the best materials.

Thank you,
Lexus

Thanks Lexus! And congrats on being a new author! I've only been a published author for just over a year myself. Go ahead and hop on the Diabolic Shrimp train if you think it'd be useful

Sorry -- I write short stories, not books.

But still, I like reviews. Have at it if you'd like.

Impressive!

Not really, but hope to be someday! :) Just got published at age 54...LOL...and only 4 months ago. Hope you take a look and perhaps enjoy either, or both, of them! :)

Joined! I just released my first novel last year, but I have a whole bunch more planned and in various stages of completion (at last count, I had ten writing projects that I'm working on: a quintet, a trilogy, and two books that may or may-not stay as stand-alones). My book 'Miss Gemquist and the Pearl of Peking' is a YA Regency-era Steampunk novel; hope you'll give it a chance and that you enjoy it!

This is an awesome project! Your website is very cool. I joined and shrimped - is that how we say it? - it forward after looking through the very interesting list of authors.

By the way, I fully support your quest (to put shrimps in space). I mean, the other goal about reviewing a bunch of books is also praise-worthy, but shrimps in space should really be a priority. ;)

So Coooolllll!! I wish I had the mental strength.

If you like dark-edge sci-if fantasy, I hope you can check out All Light Will Fall (2015).

Yay Laura! I'm still in the process of uploading peeps so you'll get a welcome e-mail within a week. I'm a new author too. That's so cool that you're plugging away at a number of projects! I literally can only focus on one thing at a time! I look forward to checking it out!

Yes! I think we can call it 'shrimped.' I'm going to make that the official term from now on! I'm happy you're with us!

Great Quest you are on Joshua! Many thanks! Finding Your Center: Explorations in Philosophy, New Physics and Eastern Mysticism

Joshua, you are incredible!
I'm a new author too and have just started reaching out to people. I wish I had your energy but your enthusiasm is infectious so I'm in! I'm a lover of space too so I'd like to be floating next to those shrimp.
