Welcome John, it's great to have you with us:) I notice you are an author, so if you head on over to our Author spotlight section https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... you can make your own thread to promote your work. Good luck!

Welcome John! I'm a fellow Gemini so know what you mean :)

Definitely proud!
We're complicated and unpredictable - so much more interesting than those other star signs :D

Sally906 | 89 comments Welcome John. Our youngest daughter is a Gemini - definitely two daughters for the price of one because you're never sure which daughter (very nice, or very bad) you're going to get when the phone rings :)


message 5362: by Sally906 (new)

Sally906 | 89 comments LOL - no she doesn't. The oldest daughter is on goodreads - but the youngest daughter is not a reader at all! But she will agree with me as to my description :)

Erin Hello, all! I'm Erin. I live in Missouri, the very middle of the Mid-west (just a little east of Kansas, for you Wizard of Oz fans!). Boring office job, two doggies, no kids and lots of books, just the way I like it. Thanks for letting me join in the fun, I'm looking forward to finding some new friends and authors :)

Welcome Erin, nice to have someone from Kansas in the group!


message 5371: by Amira (new)

Amira (cooperamira) Hello, I'm Amira, and I'm from Perth.

Always loved reading, and I'll read anything that catches my interest. Wouldn't say I read particularly deeply in any genre, so I'm not particular for authors either.

I just finished high school, taking a gap and I'm going to attend Curtin Uni next year for psychology. I really like travelling (or the idea of it) and hopefully I'm going to razzle up enough money to get off this island for an extended period of time in the near future.

Otherwise, I'm just joining this group to find some good books from other Aussies :)

Archer Swift (archerswift) | 12 comments Hi All,

Living in Melbourne for the past five years (via via), and loving it! Enjoy reading and writing. And coffee.

Up to now, my reading/writing experience has been largely UK/USA centric. Looking forward to taking the plunge here.

Take care,
ARCHER

Suz | 4436 comments Thanks for the invite Brenda! I've picked up some fantastic titles from Brenda and hope to continue getting ideas and inspiration from this group. I wish I had a little more reading time, but I guess we could all say that. I've just discovered Honey Brown who seems great! Look forward to stumbling across more good things :)


message 5382: by Sharon (new)

Sharon | 5509 comments Hi Suzanne, welcome to the group :) I think we've all picked up new titles and authors from, Brenda :) Your TBR list will certainly increase, Suzanne :)

Welcome Suzanne :) It's great to have you with us! I was surprised to see you weren't a member :) Enjoy browsing..you'll find heaps of recommendations here.

I'll echo that. Didn't realise you weren't already a member here before Suzanne. Welcome and also to Amira (love your name)and Archer.


message 5385: by Suz (new)

Suz | 4436 comments Thanks for the warm welcome all, I think I was looking from afar so often, but Brenda will laugh as I thought there were lots and lots of challenges that I wouldn't be able to take part in as I don't have heaps of reading time, but now I think about it, it was another group, the mystery/thriller one..! Oops. Now I'm off to finish my book ;)

I think my tbr list gets quite a bashing anyway, but these ones might be more toward my taste!

Haha! Suzanne you can please yourself if you join the challenges or not, but we'd love you to just enjoy being in the group with us friendly Aussies;)
