Fantasy and Vampire Book Club discussion

Hi I am Cassie I have been reading Paranormal fiction, Urban fanasty and vampire novels now for 7 years. I started with Sookie then went onto Betsy and on and on. The last time I counted I had 63 books and that included 10 series but have expanded still since.

:)

HI :)

hi cassie, im a betsey fan too, wat did u think of her last novel, i have to admit to being disapointed alittle.

Hi, I'm Yasmeen and I've loved reading since I was little, but got a taste for supernatural stuff when I was 10 with Wuthering Heights.
I read mainly urban fantasy at the moment, but I also like sci fi, fantasy, and pnr. I've just finished reading The Bitter Seed of Magic - Suzanne McLeod which was amazing, and I'm starting This Side of the Grave- Jeaniene Frost. Both these books have all sorts of supernatural hotties in them.

welcome yasmeen, theres nowt better than a supernatural hottie is there!

Lol, no! I'm afraid I get a bit too attached to the lead hotties! Love the cute but overprotective types.

Hi Cassie and Yasmeen Welcome to the club!
sorry we don't have jackets. lol

Aw no worries lol, I bet they would be awesome though :)

Hi there, my name is Bronwyn and I live in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast in Qld Australia. I read a lot when was young then I gave it up for a few years. In 2007 we went on a camping holiday and it rained so I sat down to read a few book and have not stopped since, much to my husband's discust. No-one I know personally likes to read as much a I do so they all think I am a bit of a freak - but after reading some of the stories on goodreads I find I am now in good company.

I started off reading Nora Roberts then ventured onto Historical Romance and now I find myself reading mostly paranormal romance, especially if it involves Vampires. I have read quite a few series. I have finished the Sooki Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, Love at Stake Series by Kerrelyn Sparks, Broken Heart, Oklahoma series by Michele Bardsley and I am at present reading my way through the Argenau Vampire series by Lynsay Sands. I am reading other series as well.

Hi Bronwyn, Nice to see a fellow aussie!

welcome bronwyn we are all book freaks here,

Yes we all are books freaks, my partner doesn't seem to mind too much. :) I love the Argenau series :)

Hello! Thank you for the invite :)

I am Tegan, i'm from Australia! I love YA fanatasy and paranormal fantasy ahhhh. I am currently reading the Iron Fey series and the Georgina Kincaid series.

awesome Another Aussie!
we have got a few now in this group.
Great to see you here Tegan!
Take a look around. for this month we are reading #1 in the iron fey series. head on over to our BOM(Book Of the Month) area to join in!
Next month we are reading Angel by LA Weatherly.

oooooooo I want to read that, I saw it when I was shopping last week and didn't buy it and now im regretting it because I am hearing rave reviews on it.

well, now you can go out and buy it. we are reading it in april. so there's your excuse to buy it! lol
sometimes i have to justify buying books too. i'm starting to like ebooks more (because they are sometimes cheaper).

that is true, and available and you don't have to wait! but i don't have an ereader - i am hoping i get one for my birthday I have dropped some not very subtle hints to my partner

Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am a lover of books. One of my favorite genres is paranormal/paranormal romance. =] But I enjoy basically anything as long as it throws me into the story. I love when books make me escape into their world. =]

welcome stephanie we are all book nuts here! :D

Yes that is what is great about books - escaping into another world.

yes, i figured everyone on here is nuts about books. haha.

I'm not Nuts!
I'm obsessed! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ok maybe a touch insane(shh don't tell anyone!)

hello to all. it's been so long since i've been in this group.....so many new names! i have 8 horror novels all here on goodreads.
special hello to stephanie....so rare to see anyone who writes at 18! don't worry about other people. keep writing. even if early work needs improving, you only learn by sticking at it. i know my more recent books are better than some of my first few.

agree there i look at some work i did years back and think good god!

Welcome Joel! the members work folder is the one i was talking about. in it we have a topic called Authors Unite!!!
Head over there to promote your work, as well as doing a short bio.
Hi Donald welcome to the group. Have you posted self promoted in our authors unite area yet?
we also have a writing competition that i'm trying to get off the ground. so if either of you would like to contribute just head on over there. I recently posted a sample so people get the gist of how to go about things.

stop by our facebook page too if you want(but we are a goodreads group, which reminds me i haveb't posted there for a while hmmm). I think MJ covered what i would have said. Have you read angel by L A weatherly? we are reading it as a group at the moment.
and if you need any help at all. Please checkout the help around goodreads area(if what you need isn't there we have a questions area too)All i need to say now Is...Welcome to the Group! :o)

Thanks guys :) Just joined on facebook too and will catch up with the book of the month etc!!

Welcome to all new comers, it is great to be with a group who you can talk to about books etc - who don't think you are a little crazy with what some people think is an addiction. People I know don't understand how I can have 3 books on the go at a time and why I would want to start a new book straight after finishing one.

Hi everyone. I'm Nickie. I love to read and write UF. I'm a published author and have a really crazy schedule but I love it. Looking forward to making some friends here on this group.

Hi Nickie, Welcome to the group.
We have a special Area for authors to shamelessly promote their work ;o)
we have lots of authors in this group so there is heaps of potential for networking! :o)
so take the time to browse.
we have just missed out on being able to nominate a book of the month(more fondly known as a BOM) but i'm in the process of setting up the poll so it's not too late to be involved in the process.
also if you have time in your crazy schedule, we have a writing competiton going until the end of the month.
So if you have any questions at all(about anything), don't hesitate to ask! If i don't know the answer, i'm sure i know someone who will.
