Sonja (sonjapple) | 7 comments Hello!
I'm Sonja from South Africa, a happily lone mom with my 13 year old son. Glad I found this group as I'm totally addicted to thrillers and mysteries, especially the ones you don't see coming.

message 8858: by Andie (new)

Andie (andie1040) | 10 comments Hi,
I'm Andie and I'm a bookaholic. My favorite genre is mystery/thriller, but I had no idea this group existed. My favorite authors are Robert Crais, Lee Child, Sara Paretsky, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, Tess Gerritsen, Kate Atkinson, David Baldacci, Dennis Lehane, Lisa Scottoline, Janet Evanovich, but as I'm current on all these, I have to keep adding more! Please make a pitch for your favorites.
I also love films, music and live theatre. Being retired helps, but there are still too many books, too little time. And I'm not that good at sitting still unless I'm in the theatre or holding a book.
I'm from a suburb of Chicago and really love the Midwest, but like to travel as often as I can.

Welcome Andie, you've come to the right place to find fellow thriller lovers! You've listed some good ones! How about Karin Slaughter who when she's good is very good. Or Chelsea Cain for some thrilling creeps? I'm originally from the Midwest as well, but happy to have relocated to the PNW :)

Russell Turner | 1 comments Hello Group - my name is Russell and I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands, part of the UK but just off the coast of France. I have been an avid reader for pretty much all my life and, having recently retired, hope to continue in this literary vein. My favorite genres are science fiction, crime and history. My other interests include sport, music and walking. I look forward to sharing views etc with you all.

message 8869: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debelizlam) | 7 comments Hi everyone,

I moved to West Michigan in 2018 when my husband and I gave up the "9-to-5" and purchased a campground. I had previously been an English and Social Studies teacher and most recently a high school counselor. I've been able to return to my favorite hobbies - one of which is reading.
I have two teen-aged children, and find myself reading what they're reading, but my favorite genre is mystery/thrillers. I will read anything except westerns or romances! ;)

Lee (leoparty) | 1 comments Hi, I'm Lee from Manchester, England. 56 years young and still doing the 9 -5. Avid fan of crime thrillers, favourite author is Mark Billingham. In between working and reading, I enjoy walking my not so young Boxer dog. I support Manchester United and enjoy playing Scrabble with my wife. Looking forward to reading your posts and looking for recommendations

message 8873: by Lina (new)

Lina | 3 comments Hi!

Thanks Sean for the invitation. My name is Lina and I live in New York. I love reading and I have a library in my home which is so overflowing to the point I now have shelves and stacks and even boxes of books in almost every room in my house, even the bathrooms lol. I have started a collection of popup books, I find them simply magical since I was a child.

I also have over 800 ebooks, which I am always willing to share. All the books on my have read, and want to read list I already personally own so check them out and if anyone wants an ebook from my lists I will be happy to email them to you.

I, also like Sean, love playing tennis. Im not really good but I dont care because its fun as hell and totally addicting. I play every chance I get.

I also like making jewelry. I dont sell it, I mostly make it as gifts for friends or for myself.

I love animals and I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, three cats and a snake.

Want to know my favorite book? Impossible to answer that! There are very few books that I didnt like, but honestly the few I couldnt finish was most likely romance. My favorite genres are mystery, thriller, epic sci fi fantasy, crime, space, and certain types of erotica.

Im happy to have been invited and I look forward to meeting other members and Im always on the prowl for new books recommended by others.

message 8877: by Aleesha (new)

Aleesha Erickson | 40 comments Hello, I am from North Dakota. I love reading Thriller books. I took quite a long break from reading, but found my love of it again in the last couple years. I like trying new authors and I’m not really a big fan of series. My husband reads a lot of the same type of books as me so I sometimes read some of his books but I love to hear others reviews before I choose my next book. Looking forward to exploring this group farther!!

message 8879: by Milene (last edited Jan 26, 2020 12:29PM) (new)

Milene Teixeira | 2 comments Hello,
My name is Milene, I am Portuguese and I’ve lived in Maidstone (England) for nearly 8 years. I love reading. The constant need to keep learning for work takes a lot of my reading time but I try to find time for my pleasure reading too. I am good at research and have imagination but I’m not a very good writer so, unfortunately, that is a path that I won’t undertake. I have two beautiful cats and my idea of a relaxing Sunday is sitting in the sofa with the cats and a cup of tea reading a book.


message 8880: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey, I'm Jess! I'm from Wisconsin. The last couple years I've really been getting into murder/thrillers/serial killer/etc. I'm a dental hygienist and I talk to patients about books and that just adds to my growing "to be read list"
Currently I'm reading The Woman In The Window
My s-i-l and I started and Instagram account a few months ago (@booksandcurds) to give us something that we can just for ourselves and it's definitely rekindled our love for reading!

Maybe as a publishing company you should read the rules as you join, introduce yourself.

Not promote your book here !

We are happy to have you but place the above in Promote My Book, as that is what you are doing.

Please..... Thank You

There are many that are happy to read a ARC copy.

Klaas Bottelier (klaaz) | 4 comments Hi everybody, I am Klaas, 46, living in Amsterdam in The Netherlands. I read all genres but I do love a good thriller and I regularly pick one up. I love many different kinds of thrillers but my favorite authors would definitely include Arnaldur Indridason (Iceland) and Deon Meyer (South Africa) and recently I enjoyed the thrillers of Riley Sager. I am always up for some good new Thriller recommendations.

Hi Sean,
Happy to be here. I live in a stone cottage in the middle of Brittany, France. Beautiful here, but the winters are looooong, wet, and cold.
Can't wait for spring.

Kerry.

Hi Klass,
I write thrillers (no, this isn't a 'buy my book' pitch). One of my planned Ryan Kaine stories will be set in The Netherlands (Haarlem). I'd be interested in picking your brains for local background information and colour, if you can spare the time. No rush, though.
Happy to give you a mention in the acknowledgements if I ever finish the project.

Regards,
Kerry.

Hi Kerry, no problem, I actually went to school in Haarlem (way back when) so I know it a little bit, quite a nice old town. I will send you a friend request, then you can send me direct messages with any questions you might have about Haarlem or The Netherlands.

Greetings,
Klaas

Ayesha | 2 comments Hi. My name is Aisha and I’m from Nigeria though I currently live in London. I’ve loved reading ever since I was 2 and could barely understand words. I enjoy mysteries that keep me up at night and looking over my shoulder days after I’ve read them and I’m looking forward to finding more of them through this group.

message 8899: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 5 comments Hello, my name is Jennifer. I live in NJ. I read a lot of genres, but I particularly like thrillers, suspense, and true crime. I'm new to the groups in goodreads so I'm just learning how to navigate them. If we want to participate in the 1,500,000 page challenge in 2020, do we comment with the books we read in 2020 or does it just have to be thrillers? Also, I like to listen to about two audiobooks a month.
