Goodreads Ireland discussion

Hi, I'm Mairead, I'm from the west and my floor to ceiling bookshelf is full to the brim, so I think I'm qualified to talk about books :)
Looking forward to discussing them with you guys.
I love YA, PR, UF, romance, drama, but really, if it's good, I'll tend to like it. :)
I dip my toes in all genres really. :) So recommendations are welcome...and encouraged. :D

I also have a wonderfully appropriate name when you drop a Y in there :)
And, apparently, am addicted to emoticons.

Wut r u talkin bout? YA-Young adult. PR-- Puerto Rico?
UF--University of Florida?
jelp!

LOL Mae! .. you celebrating Ryan's birth too??

Hi Mairead :) I tend toward the serial killer suspense type, but read all sorts and also like anything that's good.

Hi, Mairead. It's great to meet you. Welcome to Goodreads Ireland.

I wish! My 16 year old daughter helped me write that. Teen lingo. But seriously, I don't know what UF lit and PR lit are. ( Just found out that UF is Urban Fantasy)

Paranormal Romance and Urban fantasy. :)
Sorry, used to short hand on goodreads

Thanks, I am just a little knew to the younger generation shorthands! But was really happy that my daughter 16, didn't know!!!! Yay, you made my week.

Ha, anything I can do to help :)

Aprilla, have you ever read the King and Maxwell series by David Baldacci or Promise me by Harlan Coben? I thought they were really good. :) Promise me kept me guessing until the last chapter. I was shocked when I found out who did it.

No, not yet.... I have both on my TBR but that just keeps growing and growing! So hard to get to everything LOL
I lately enjoyed the DD warren series by Lisa Gardner, and also 2 stand alones by Gillian Flynn recommended on GR... G Flynn has a new one coming out end of summer~ish and I'm really looking forward to that!
Gillian Flynn, Lisa Gardner

Cool, I'll look into them. I really want to read No time for goodbye by Linwood and Barclay. It's meant to great.

Oh yes, Linwood Barclay's are very good, I think you'll enjoy them. Do you read or listen? I listen.

ps Cody McFadyen's Smokey Barrett series is pretty good too :) And, and, and.... LOL

I read, generally. I only have one audio book, and I won that. I suppose if I actually drove an ausio book would suit me better :)

welcome to the group Mairead, im originally from the west, but now living in the south-east and can relate to a house full of books, its getting a bit silly at this stage! ;)
