I've written 20 thrillers. The majority are environmental thrillers.

readingtildawnn.bsky.social•100 days ago

What platform do you use for bookblogging? I love horror and sci fi.

Thrillers and Crime - if there’s a murder, I’m in! 👀🕵🏻‍♀️

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Love a good thriller! Have you a favourite from this your?

sineadhalpin.bsky.social•101 days ago

Love Jane Casey’s series with Maeve Kerrigan.
And a truly excellent read was ‘Night Watching’ by Tracy Sierra - it was impossible to put down!!

bookishlai.bsky.social•101 days ago

Psych thriller, dark romance and fantasy 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Great picks! 💜

baileybeloved.bsky.social•100 days ago

my usual genres are dystopian & fantasy, but for the past month or two I’ve been getting into horror & thriller!

sofiadianagabel.bsky.social•99 days ago

Thrillers, sci-fi, well, just about anything that strikes my fancy!!

captainrandom10.bsky.social•100 days ago

I like comedy with travel (coincidentally, what I write in) 😁

wewenugu.bsky.social•100 days ago

Short SF these days

twirleyshirl.bsky.social•101 days ago

Thrillers and romance 😍

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Excellent choices 💜

dawnobrien.bsky.social•100 days ago

And this is why you’re on my list! 🧡📚🧡

chaminm.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love exploring books from different cultures (e Asia, Africa)- it's fascinating how literature helps us understand historical contexts across the world. Until recently, most of my reading focused on Western contemporary literature and world classics. I would love to hear your book recommendations

wendyreadsbooks1.bsky.social•101 days ago

Historical fiction for me although I’ll read most things except for horror.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I’m the same, I don’t have the nerves for horror.

laurenbooks3.bsky.social•101 days ago

I love all genres but mostly thriller, horror, fantasy & romance! 😃

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Awesome choices my lovely. 💚

readbetweentheink.bsky.social•101 days ago

Fantasy, Romantasy, thriller and dark romance 💀❤️

natashaleighton.bsky.social•100 days ago

My faves are Fantasy, historical and Romance

socrates399.bsky.social•101 days ago

I read a lot of philosophy and science books.

Dystopians are great, same with fantasy.

Have you read the Metro series?

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

No, is it good?

socrates399.bsky.social•101 days ago

It's very good. It's quite depressing, though, so keep that in mind.

It inspired a video game series of the same name.

bookescapesblog.bsky.social•101 days ago

Hi Kelly, nice to see you. I love all genres of romance and enjoy the occasional thriller.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Lovely to see you, Babs. Hope you are loving your current read.

bookescapesblog.bsky.social•101 days ago

I am. I’m back in Tuppenny Bridge 😊

imogenwells.com•101 days ago

Hey! I love dark romance, thrillers/suspense and fantasy/romantasy.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Wonderful choices! 💚

imogenwells.com•101 days ago

Thanks! My personal favourite is a good enemies to lovers trope romance. How about you?

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I enjoy a good dystopian read. They usually have a mixture of genres.

imogenwells.com•101 days ago

I have read a few good ones, although they aren’t my go to genre.

lynettecreswell.bsky.social•101 days ago

I still can’t make up my mind. 😂

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

You don’t have to, the joy of reading. 🤣💚

lynettecreswell.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is the thing. I fall in and out of love with books all the time 😂

srreadsbks.bsky.social•100 days ago

Fantasy, Historical Fiction, Mystery, especially Scandinavian Authors. Also a little bit of Science Fiction..

billadler.bsky.social•97 days ago

I write a lot of science fiction, but love reading spy novels.

bastetsaysmeow.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’ll give most things a go, but I do love a good thriller.

shawnrain.bsky.social•101 days ago

I tend to like literary fiction especially if it’s by an Indian author or one from Istanbul. Sometimes I get in a detective fiction mood and read a whole series one after the other madly. I also like historical fiction. And I like to read the great mystics like Teresa of Avila & John of the Cross

eadeboest.bsky.social•101 days ago

Everything romance, especially erotic 😊📚

mewto.bsky.social•101 days ago

Love a good thriller, occasionally a romance, but anything by Terry Pratchett is just perfect to me.

jmp183.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love a good mystery, especially cozy mysteries, genealogical crime mysteries and of course,the hard boiled detective stories by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett et al.

kimberlyinthewild.bsky.social•101 days ago

I like sports romance and thrillers. But not too scary lol

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I don’t do scary either but sometimes you get caught out with the thrillers. 🤣🤣🤣

betchpuddin.bsky.social•100 days ago

Coming-of-age, thriller, historical fiction. But there’s no genre I won’t dip a toe into.

clairestibbe.bsky.social•95 days ago

Hi Kelly. I’m glad to see thrillers on your list! My favourites are psych thrillers and hist fic. I do love a little true crime

authoraroloson.bsky.social•101 days ago

I love thrillers and historical fiction.

marbooks88.bsky.social•101 days ago

I read almost everything but love thrillers, romcoms, and historical fiction.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Any top reads of 2024?

marbooks88.bsky.social•101 days ago

I’ve read so many good ones! The War Bunny series, Behind Every Good Man, and Running Cold were some of my favorites

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

It is so hard to pick isn’t it.

marbooks88.bsky.social•101 days ago

Pretty much impossible! They are all so different and fill so many different emotional needs and wants. I love that there are so many incredible books available!

hannahprim.bsky.social•101 days ago

Fantasy!! 💕

hollyanna.bsky.social•101 days ago

Scandi noir, historical fiction, fantasy, CanLit, cozy mysteries, but I will read almost anything. Currently enjoying Japanese lit in translation.

mflan2409.bsky.social•100 days ago

I tend to choose psychological, philosophical, and dystopian, but my favourite novel is the Master & Margarita by Bulgakov, so I guess some historical satire laced with outrageous fantasy ...I just love them all ❤️ 😊

joeygrem.bsky.social•101 days ago

Historical fiction (medieval European)

koreancowboy.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love ❤️ books 📕 and coffee ☕️ just like you

ellendevonport.bsky.social•101 days ago

I like a mix of everything. Horror was my first love then went crime/thriller heavy for a while!

goodmojojo.bsky.social•100 days ago

Really good thrillers, preferably with some dark humour, and I do love a good serial killer.

authorgeletta.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’m a thriller author and love reading thrillers.

spaceysilver.bsky.social•101 days ago

Fantasy will always have a special place in my heart. The Hobbit was the first novel I read on my own and I reread it every year. Nowadays I can't resist a sapphic romance especially if there's a supernatural element.

sarahsbookishlife.bsky.social•101 days ago

I enjoy a mix. Love crime thrillers, psychological thrillers, rom-com, historical fiction, women's fiction.

goodmojojo.bsky.social•100 days ago

Have you read Normal Women by Philippa Gregory. It's a history of women from the Norman conquest. Absolutely amazing!!

sarahsbookishlife.bsky.social•100 days ago

I haven't, no. I tend to mainly read books books set during ww2. Have read lots on the holocaust. Was lucky enough to visit the concentration camps in Krakow the other year. Very harrowing.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I do keep forgetting how much I really enjoy historical/women’s fiction too. Do you have a favourite read this year, Sarah?

sarahsbookishlife.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm terrible at choosing a favourite as I've read so many lol.

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

I immediately have brain fog the minute someone asks me that question. I always have to check Goodreads. 🤣🤣🤣

sarahsbookishlife.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yes, me too 😂

onlyfiction.bsky.social•101 days ago

When's the next virtual book tour? 🙊

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

We have loads, you can find our more info @lovebookstours.bsky.social

onlyfiction.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is awesome!! Going to be telling everyone 😁

waamscabam.bsky.social•101 days ago

I love satire, dystopian, mystery, thrillers (but not horror) and genre-bending LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 lit (not chick lit or mom lit).

kellyalacey.bsky.social•101 days ago

Great picks any favs of the year?

waamscabam.bsky.social•101 days ago

My personal favorite this year is Diorama by Austin Blake. Published by Dzanc.

https://www.dzancbooks.org/all-titles/p/dioramas

My second favorite is Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner.

And I’m loving Nevada by Imogen Binnie (2013)

okohlaw.bsky.social•101 days ago

My favorite genres are mind bending and psychological horrors. Pretty much anything in the ilk of Edgar Allan Poe. I’m excited to say what you have to share!
