Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

hi everyone! i just started my reading journey in february. i also just found out about this app! i loveee dark romance & mystery/thrillers! always open to some good recs & fellow reading friends 📚🤗

Welcome to the group Jordyn! Who are your favorite authors?

Hello, I answer to Kami. I'd be most interested in reccs and finding friends.

hiiii! I'm a fan of dark romance & thrillers too. Anything with a bit of psychological spice I'm a sucker for.

I'm not sure what all you've read, but honestly some good ones I've read are That Sik Luv, really anything by J Rose (I've read Forever Ago & the entirety of the Blackwood series, continuing on with her work!), Mindfk series, all the fairytale renditions by Evelyn Flood & Emily McIntire. And one of the best for lasts, KM Moronova! Her Fabric of Our Souls will have me in a chokehold for LIFE!

Hope I gave ya something new to look into, feel free to message whenever, I try to be as active as possible on here, a lot more active on IG/Threads: username the same - https://instagram.com/paperbackjunkee :)

Hi everyone, I’m Amy Turing. I write techno-thrillers, and I’ve just finished the first book in a new series — it’s about AI, control, and what happens when prediction turns into manipulation.

When I’m not working on the book, I’m usually off screens — walking, reading old books (both digital and paperback), or doing anything offline to stay grounded like gardening.

Currently I am finishing reading The Golem by Gustav Meyrink. It is a really dreamy noir book that somehow reminds me of the digital world we live in.

Looking forward to finding other fans of thrillers, conspiracies, and weird, shadowy corners of the world.

Happy to be part of this group!

I'm Zara,
I'm a trauma nurse. I’m exhausted and need sleep. Nothing new. Be my friend and accept that when I'm not working, I'm sleeping. Be my friend anyway. I don't go out. I work. I eat. I sleep.

I don't read chick-lit, romance, fantasy, sci-fi or any other escape lit. I read about what is happening in the world. Please send recs....

I get hit-on everyday, please, please, I'm here for books and nothing but books.

Welcome Kami, paperbackjunkiee, Amy and Zara to the group!

Hello all newbies!

A couple of you are looking for recommendations. You will not find them in this thread, but If you're looking for recommendations for mysteries and thrillers, the best place to start is in our JF/NR (Just Finished/Now Reading) topic, or the Monthly Reads topic. People have recently been posting books read in May, but the posts go back as many months as you like. I'd start with the Monthly Reads topic as you are more likely to get descriptions of books. Links are below:

Hello to everyone,

I’m trying to keep my finances in the black while trying to survive in the big city, whilst I’ve given up on fantasy, sci-fi, rom-com, horror, witches and ghosts. Now, both non-fiction and fictional thrillers come first.

Please be my friend....

Hello everyone. New to Goodreads and trying to navigate and learn how to meet new readers and writers

Welcome Nina and L. Jump right in!

Hi,

Natalie invited me. I'm a single girl (woman) - I work in the big city.

Hi everyone! I’m Alejandro, from Tarragona-Spain. I’ve always been a fan of reader (not than much as kid), now I’m enjoying it more than ever, especially of fantasy, science fiction and mystery thrillers. Lately, I’ve been exploring more contemporary and historical fiction too. Some of my favorite writers are Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, Peter V. Brett, Paolini Christopher and Patrick Graham. I joined this club to connect with fellow book lovers, discover new books and expand my reading list. Looking forward to reading with you all! Can’t wait to get some great book recommendations! Excited to be here!!!

Welcome Monica and Alejandro. Alejandro, you will find a few fans of Rebecca Yarros here, and maybe the other authors you mentioned as well. Take a look at our JF/NR thread to start with recommendations!
