Welcome Jorielle and Anita. If you need any help let us know (even if it is a general Goodreads Question). I'm aways around!

Anita, you should pop into the members work Folder and take a look and take the time to shamelessly self promote your work. The only rule there is No Spamming! other than that you can add a little Bio, and promote your book... or just promote your book. it really is up to you :o)

Jorielle you have a beautiful name :o) it is definately one i have never heard before. does it have a special meaning?

BTW, i am saying this from under a pile of submissions! its been bonkers!

Hello,

I thought I did my introduction, but apparently not....blames the cold meds. Anyway, my name is Melissa and I love to read. If I'm not reading then I'm scrapbooking. I like a variety of books, from PNR, murder/mystery to some historical books.

It's great to be here and look forward to "meeting" you.

Welcome to the Group/Family. We are glad to have another reader like yourself! Since you love to read how about joining in with our BOM (book of th month) We are currently voting in the polls of which book we want to read so if you want a say in what we read have a look at which books have been nominated. We also have many other things like writing contests and random topics so have a look around. If you ever get stuck you can always talk to Adele, Nicola or I and we will be happy to help! We even have help threads up, so if you are stuck and we are not around you can always have a look at those. We hope you enjoy this group and we cant wait to get to know you more :D

Welcome Melissa, Don't feel Bad that you haven't done an intro straight away. we don't mind. You do things when your ready to. Being in a new group can be very overwhelming sometimes( so many nice new shiny things). that's why you start off introducing yourself. it kinda calms the nerves, especially if your really new to goodreads and groups in general.
well i know i was nervous back when i did my intro..... still feels like yesterday :o)

welcome, to good reads and thank you for your interest in becoming a reviewer :D

Thanks ladies!

Hello my name is Kyra Gates, I just finished and published my first book. I read and write when I can. I have one child and I am happily married. I am happy that I have found a group that shares some of my interest.

Lana wrote: "Hi im lana. i am quite new to pr and uf. i love the charlaine harris books and bdb and twilight. i love an adventure along with some steamy scenes. i have a little boy of 10 months so i am slow at ..."

If you liked twlight and look for some steamy action try Walkers its my first published book but it seems to be what you are looking for.

Has anyone read City of Bones?

Kyra wrote: "Has anyone read City of Bones?"
Not yet, and I've already bought enough books this month that my husband growls at me when the delivery guy shows up with a box from Amazon...but it does sound intriguing and is on my TBR shelf.
Now if the hubby would just grow fangs when he growls that would be even more intriguing...oh well, a girl can dream, right?

By the way, hi.
I'm Gaijiinmama, originally from Connecticut and Los Angeles in the U.S. but living permanently in the Land of the Rising Sun, Thin Girls With Cute Handbags, and Large Flying Roaches.
I'll read anything as long as it's good, but thanks to Goodreads I am now thoroughly addicted to paranormal romance and urban fantasy and I seem to have come to the right place here. So tell me, gals, what's the methadone for a fangs-and-fur addiction?

First of all Welcome Kyra. we are reading city of bones this onth as a BOM(thats book of the month). Head on over to the book of the month/group reads folder, and look for the topic May city of bones BOM(or something similar) and you will find a place to discuss the book.
we just ask if you use the spoiler HTML if you are going to use any spoilers(to find out how to do this, head on over to the help around goodreads topic found in this folder).

Gaijiinmama, there is no cure for fur and fangs except more fur and fangs.... welcome to the group.
we have a few discussions that will help you add more onto your TBR pile, Add the buddy reads and the reading challenges and the BOM and well i don't think you will find you won't be short of reading material.

welcome :D

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new and finding my way around Goodreads. I read and write fantasy, particularly vampires. Feel free to check out my page or recommend anything (no Angels, please) that you think i'd like!

Lena

Lena , you should pop into our authors work topic in the members work folder.
i have also tried to put up a tutorial for newbies like yourself. the topic is in this folder and it's called help around goodreads.
I'm in the middle of adding stuff now. but you will have to excuse some spelling errors i have found(i have a tendency to forget i can't spell check the comments box).
other than that welcome to the group. :o)

thanks Adele!

I have a silly question. I like Vampire books, and I was told it was okay for me to join this group, but It's location is in the UK and I like in the US. Is that okay?

lol not a Problem. I'm in Australia. The creator of the group is in the UK. when you set up the group it's a mandatory thing to put a location... believe me i have tried to change it!! :o)
So Welcome to the group Kristen. I'm always around to help if you need it. we have a questions and suggestions topic. and for me no question is a silly question. i ask them all the time :o)

welcome in the UK nut!

welcome Norm :D

Thank you Nicola

Welcome Welcome Welcome! We hope you enjoy here!

Now i must go to ed....soooo late 2 am to be exact lolz. good night all

Thanks MJ...

Thanks for the invite.
I read and write about vampires. My favorite monsters (trolls are starting to push them aside) for a long time.
It was Fred Saberhagen that got me excited about vampires again. If you ever get a chance to read The Dracula Tape, it is a great read.
I prefer my vampires old school and not in high school if you understand me.
Thanks for the invite again.

Hi Mari and Norm. Welcome to the Group :o)

Hello,

I'm Christopher. I teach during the day and then write all night. I have recently started publishing my books to the Kindle and Nook. I have sold enough copies to buy a large cup of coffee ;)

Hiya, everyone and thank you Nicola for the invite. I live in Northern NJ. And I've been just getting into more fantasy and vampire books. usually it's romance, mysteries and thrillers. I do enjoy charlene harris's book. And I've tried the 1st twilight haven't gotten to the other's. and I'm not reading lara adrian's kiss of midnight and loving it. I have a nook so that seems to be a good way to check authors you haven't checked out before. I still enjoy reading DT books. since I used to be a book buyingholic. since the nook came into my life the buying of DT books have been cut way down. I look forward to getting to know all of you, getting some good book recommends. just give me time to catch up I just got back from a week away (it's usually just weekends at the shore but I and stayed longer) I had my mac with just didn't get the time to come online except for fast emails. usually summer it's that way.

Hello and welcome Christopher and Donnajo!
you will find heaps of reccomendations here. you can check out our bookshelf and see the books there. you might also want to add some books we may have missed.
Christopher if you haven't already, you might want to put a little plug for your book/s in the authors work area.

If anyone has any questions please visit the questions and suggesions topic and post your question there.

we are starting a new writing competition today i'll be sending out an email(i do a mass weekly email/ newsletter) later oin this week so keep an eye out for it. :o)

adele thank you for the welcome. I'll have to check the board out more when I can give it extra time. I'm running out today again. so only came online for a little while. the one thing I want to say is the more I read posts on GRs the more I can't believe how we connect people from so many locations. not only USA. It's amazing. I'm trying to decide what I want to take today with me if I get alittle time to read. but I'll probably be playing with my niece's little 1 year old she just started walking last week and she's all over the place. I was with her this past weekend. plus I'll be watching her when my sister goes to pick up her older brother in nursery school (he's 4)

Hi - I'm Tracey O'Hara. I write the dark brethren series - but I am also a big reader. At the moment I'm on a deadline - but when that is over I will come in and join the fun. :))

Tracey if you would like to quickly put a plug for your book in the authors work area you can.
anyhoo....welcome to the group

Sorry - did I do the wrong thing by mentioning it here?

no not at all. a lot of people mention their pride and joys. i was just wondering if you would like to add a mention in the authors work area, afterall its where we get our authors to shamelessly self promote :o)

Hello Everyone!
My name is Jill Campbell. I'm an avid reader and writer. I love the fantasy genre and any book that has to do with vampires, werewolves, and the like. I have a lot of writing that i'm doing at the moment and am in the process of reading E.J. Stevens book Spirit Storm. As soon as I'm finished I will fully join in and start reading the suggested books. Thanks for the invite. :)

Hi, I'm Lacey Reah!
I read and write just about everything but I've always had a dark, edginess to me. I will be lurking when I have the time and I might get creative with the writing contests here and there. I also published an erotic fantasy about bisexual sex vampires called Fireflies.
