message 5438: by M.Luscinia (new)

M.Luscinia | 4 comments Um, hi? I'm Luscinia, a young high school girl who joined goodreads to try to keep track of books I read and discover new books. I moved to Australia from China at the age of nine, and am really excited to learn more about the culture I'm now a part of.

Reading for me started as a way to practice English (if I make mistakes let me know). Good fantasy/sci-fi books are rare gems in China, as most fiction stories are either really awful or written in another country and translated. For example, the Chinese version of famous books such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have ridiculously complicated names and extremely hard to make sense of.

Please forgive my semi rant. I read fantasy and historical fiction. Live in Sydney, any people nearby?

Welcome Luscinia, great to have you with us:) You'll find there are quite a few people in Sydney, and NSW, as well as all over the country! Enjoy browsing the threads, there will be lots of book recommendations for you there:)

Thank you. I'm from just down the road--the North East. From the coldest parts of the UK, to one of the warmest in Aus!

message 5444: by Tony (new)

Tony Brooks Hi everyone, I guess I am at the other end of the age scale from Luscinia, seventy-seven to be precise. Came from England in 1971 and in the past few decades I have written in just about every genre. I'm particularly interested in Australia's little visited historical topics, like the blackbirders. Am trying not to give in to the temptation to research and write on Ireland's pirate queen. Give me a hey if you want to know how to get my books.

Tony Brooks

Welcome Tony, great to have you with us:) I've mentioned to you in the Historical Fiction thread (I think) where you can promote your books....you may get some interested people in there if you make your own thread...

Sally906 | 89 comments Welcome Tony :)


message 5447: by Tony (new)

Tony Brooks Gee, this feels like a really welcoming group. I'm very glad I stumbled across you guys. Am reading Nicole Trope's new book at the moment, together with Jeffrey Eugenides Pulitzer prize winning 'Middlesex'. Two amazing writers!


message 5448: by Doug (new)

Doug (dorofo) | 4 comments Hello all, I'm 55, no 56 and originally from England in 1969. I've been an avid reader most my life but lately I seem to collect books rather than read them. So I'm trying to change my ways and start reading again. All those other social network sites have consumed my time so have got rid of most of them now, so looking forward to reading again and looking for inspiration from you guys. Thank you for accepting me.

Doug.
