[Emily]

Hi there my name is Emily I am the creator of Discovering Our Toddler. I am 26 years old and am Mumma to two beautiful little girls Dotti & Delilah. My favourite books are Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons and A Redbird Christmas. I currently live in Austrlia and love to read❤️

[Kiri]

Hi! My name is Kiri, I'm from Sydney, Australia. I'm a Mum to Evie and Asher. I love to read but don't get as much of a chance to do it now. I'm a kindle convert, I never thought I'd like an e-reader more than the real thing, but it's just so easy to grab a new book to read.
I tend to read chick lit now, not as much concentrating required, but I also enjoyed Bryce courtenay and Judy nunns books.
My all time faves are A thousand Splendid Suns (khaled hosseini) & The Curious incident if the dog in the nighttime (mark Haddon)

Welcome Kiri so lovely to meet you and thank you for signing up to our book club so happy to have you :) I do love the idea kindles and of having so many right at my fingertips I can see why you have converted. Both of your fave books are on my to read list :) I tend to read alot more chick lit to since having my girls. I have wanted to try a Bryce Courtney book my partner read Tommo and Hawk and he absolutely loved it. I havent heard of Judy Nunn I will have to check her out :)

[Laura]

Hi,
My name is Laura and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm a mum to my 1 year old son, Finn. I love to read and will read almost anything, although I confess that I don't like literature as I need to concentrate too much. I've just been re-reading through Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I'm honestly not sure that I could come up with an all time favourite book.

[Sarah]

Hi, my name is Sarah, I live in Scotland and I'm mummy to Andrew who's almost 3. I enjoy reading science fiction/fantasy books, however I really enjoy lots of genres and love finding a gem that I would not normally go for. I'm currently reading Eileen by ottessa moshfegh. The wool series by Hugh Howey and the passage by Justin Cronin are my favourite books I've read recently.

[Meagen]

Hi I am Meagen. I live in Newcastle Australia. I have a 4 year old son. I love to read....but mainly easy ready chick lit....my brain can't handle much more of a night time. I don't mind Jodie Picoult or similar where I have the brain capacity to think a bit more. I just got heaps of Marion Keyes and Cathy Kelly for Christmas so looking forward to reading those. I too am a kindle convert...but my favs like those two and Sophie Kinsella have to be proper books to go with the rest

[Ariana]

Hi I am Ari. I live in San Diego, CA. I usually read suspense and chick lit, but I also enjoy historical fiction. I've been trying to read more now that my 2 year old daughter is a bit older and slightly more independent. I will try my best to keep up with everyone. I already have the Liane Moriarty book from the library on my shelf ready to read!

[Amy]

Hi ladies! I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I have a 5 year old daughter, Livia and a 20 month old son, Everett. I do read regularly at bedtime. I've been trying harder this last year to give myself more time to do so. I usually like to read the top fiction books. Recently I've loved The Nightingale.

[Carrie]

Hi! I'm also from British Columbia, Canada (Vancouver to be specific). I have two boys ages 5 and 2.5. I love books, love libraries and have been known to have 50+ books sitting on my shelf from the library just because I could not imagine leaving without them. I have already instilled quite the book addiction in my children as well. Most of my recent reading has been homeschooling how-to books and art books (techniques and inspiration).

[Erin]

Hi! I'm from Melbourne, Australia and mum to a 2 yo little girl, Sophie, and a 2 month old little boy, Archer! I love to read but have kept to mainly easy reading fiction since becoming a mum to 'tune out' each night. I'm loving Liane Moriarty books at the moment and have just finished 'Leaving Time' by Jodi Picoult which I really enjoyed. I look forward to the reading inspo and connecting with everyone!

[Amanda]

Hi my name is Amanda! I'm from Sydney Australia. I LOVE reading but haven't had as much time to read lately as I would've liked. I am currently reading the third book in the "house of night series" by Kristen and PC Cast. For some weirdo reason I like reading about vampires and the supernatural! I also love suspense books like "the girl on the train" and cheesy girly books like "Bridget jones diary"! I missed the polls the other day and I am still learning how to use this app lol!

[Brittany]

Hello! I'm from Milwaukee , Wisconsin, and I have a 2 1/2 year old and a one month old. When I find the time to read (ha ha) I like thrillers (or anything seemed a "page turner"), humor (a la David Sedaris), and graphic novels. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and reading some good books! This winter here has been real hard so far (it has snowed 26 inches so far), and with a newborn we are kind of stuck inside. Good time to read a good book

[Ashley]

Hi all! I'm Ashley and I love to read but haven't found the time to read for myself too much since I have two boys-a 3 year old and a 9 month old. I enjoy reading nightly with my two boys. When I read books on my own I love historical fiction and memoirs. But I would try anything!

[Debra]
