[Andrea]

Hey all! I'm Andrea, 29, from Melbourne.
I've been a member of goodreads for a few years but only just came across this group!
I'm currently studying nursing at uni (2014 is my last year!!) so don't get to read for pleasure as much as I would like unless I'm on holidays!
Looking forward to getting to know you all! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hi Andrea, welcome to the group. It's great to have you with us, and good luck with your final year at uni. What a wonderful career you will have; congratulations!

It's crazy isn't it Angela?! We had a tree uproot and ended up in our pool yesterday! I'm tucked up in bed already with my book like its a winters night! So chilly!

Thank you all for the welcome :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh you're lucky! I'd prefer your weather to our heat and humidity Andrea!

[Andrea]

Oh yuck you can keep your humidity Brenda! Haha I like cooler weather but it's nice to have a break with some warm days which we haven't had much of this summer!!

I said to my husband today, I need to spend the summer months in Tasmania or the Antarctic I think! But I'd have to leave him behind!!

[Angela]

Just come to Melbourne Brenda - you can bang out all four seasons before brunch ;)

[Cornelius]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Today I actually remembered another occasion when I introduced myself as Australian. It was in the town of Szczecin in Poland in 83, and a big chap there with a golden tooth was trying to sell me a used car. When I explained to him that I didn't want one he said "Why not? Everyone wants car. Where you from?"

I said Australia and he grinned, "Ah, the land of death and sunshine."

"I beg your pardon?"

"All your animals, they try to kill you. Even you little insects try to kill you. Everything on the land tries to kill you, so you run to the sea and then the animals in the seas try to kill you. I am surprised you are even alive."

"Well, when you put it that way, so am-"

"And when you try to hide on high rock, the sun tries to kill you with its rays and cancer. You very lucky man. Lucky people deserve discount."

Eventually he gave up trying to sell me the car when I explained to him that I couldn't drive it home.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!! Some salesman!!

[Clare]

Greetings and salutations all.

I'm Clare, 38 and will read pretty much anything. I've been known to panic if I haven't any fresh reading material, but also to read my favourites over and over. I find it impossible to soak in a bubble bath without a book and a cup of tea.

Guilty admission time: I've read the entire BabySitters Club series - recently.

I live and read in country Victoria, about fifteen minutes away from Hanging Rock. (Miranda?)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Clare, it's lovely to have you with us:)

I'll be in your neck of the woods at Hanging Rock in March for the Rolling Stones :)

Brilliant salesman - he really did have the gift of the gab!

[Ashley]

Hi everyone! My name is Ashley and I'm from Melbourne. I've been an avid reader all my life, though uni does make reading for pleasure a bit difficult at times. Luckily it's the Summer holidays so I have a lot more time to read at the moment. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Ashley, wonderful to have you with us:)

[Ashley]

Thank you both for the welcome. :)

[[deleted user]]

@Clare, welcome! And re: the BSC, so have I. Well, not the entire series, but some of it, plus a good chunk of the California Diaries and Friends Forever. :)

Hay Ashley. Welcome to the group... :D
