Adeem Sadiq (adeemsadiq) | 47 comments I am hoping to be a good contributor on this group.

Just join goodreads in hopes of promoting my book, but that is looking impossible, so I am hoping to interact with my fellow country men and women, who share the same passion for books.

Adeem Sadiq (adeemsadiq) | 47 comments Thank you so much for helpful pointers. I'll check them out.

In case you have amazon account then check it out http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017NMTNX2

But it is a tween/teen fiction

You are welcome :-)

I checked out your book on Goodreads and also read the sample on Amazon. It seems interesting :-) At the moment, I don't read ebooks but I will try to spread the word around to those of my friends who I think might enjoy it.

Maybe you can also initiate a separate discussion thread in this topic folder about your book, so that the other members can learn about it.

Best of luck! :-)

Adeem Sadiq (adeemsadiq) | 47 comments That's a great idea. I'll do that soon.

So, do you write? Or you are a book reader only?

Glad you liked my idea, thanks! :-)

I am an avid reader as well as an aspiring author, trying to write my first book ...with the emphasis on 'trying'! Lolz ;-)

I also have a blog, in which I share about my favourite authors and write on general topics relevant to books and reading etc.

Anyway, thanks for your interest! :-)

Adeem Sadiq (adeemsadiq) | 47 comments Give me the link to your blog.

The secret is that you should keep writing and do not worry about the quality. Writers are pessimistic and selfdoubting people. You'll be amaze how much improvement you can do in your second, third, fourth, fifth... drafts.

Adeem Sadiq (adeemsadiq) | 47 comments Jeez it was long, but I powered through in one go. The diary reminded me of my nephews growing up.

This is something only a mother could write. Wonderful idea and writing. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing, cheers.

Ramla Zareen Ahmad | 584 comments Hi,
Another GR group recommendation from my side:

Tall, Dark & Deadly

"Police procedurals, psychological or domestic thrillers, serial killers, romantic suspense, creepy ghost stories or just good old fashioned complex mysteries...Tall, Dark & Deadly is committed to reading and discussing every sub genre of mysteries, suspense & thrillers—historical, contemporary and futuristic.”

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

I recently joined this group. It's awesome. I saw many of my favourite authors mentioned there and I also discovered some new ones. My TBR list has expanded tremendously. Lol.

They also have group reads, buddy reads, and reading challenges. It appears to be very active.

The moderators and members are friendly and welcoming :-)

(so are the moderators and members of the other groups I mentioned).

I highly recommend checking it out especially if you're into Mystery and Thrillers.

Happy Reading :-)
