Hi A.J. :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to the group A.J.

[Karen]

G'day.
I'm an Aussie living southwest of Tokyo, who has probably lost her accent. I hail from Budgewoi, Central Coast, NSW between Newcastle & Sydney but for most of my adult life lived in several SE Asian countries returning to Japan in between.
Read mostly romances but alternate between contemporary bikers/rock or sport stars to historical & westerns with a little fantasy/paranormal thrown in. Favourite author presently is Kristen Ashely. However, I joined this group to be introduced to other avenues of discovery.

Hi, I'm Caitlyn, I'm a 16 years old and live in Australia, and have been reading since I was really young. Aside from 'little kid books' I started reading Harry Potter when I was 4 (with a little help) and have kept reading since then. I love fantasy the most because it is what I grew up reading, but in the past few years I have been reading more Science Fiction, Contemporary, Paranormal and many more.
I also love to write, I have always wanted to be an author and I believe I will never change my mind. Whenever I come up with an idea, it goes strait into my book so I don't forget it. Because I am still in school, and coming up to my final years in High school, I am having less time to read, but I always make time to read, even if it is only a chapter a day ;)
I am in many fandoms, books, movies, TV shows etc. and fangirl a lot. I loves shows like, Pretty Little Liars, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time and a few others.
I listen to a weird range of music, including Rock, Heavy Metal and Techno, which weirds a lot of people out.
I am random and weird and a daydreamer, I live in a world of my own, with the characters and worlds that I am in love with, and my friends keep getting annoyed when I enter my 'mind palace' because I don't pay attention to the real world when I'm there.
Reading is my life as it is yours, and I can't imagine my life without my books.

Hi Caitlyn! Welcome :)

[Anna]

Hello, I've joined the Aussie Readers Group because I discovered that some Australians have been reading the books I've written. That's not the only reason - I have a lot of Aussie connections, probably 30 or more friends and relations live in Aus and I whip over as often as I can. My brother took me on a wonderful tour from Mollymook to Sydney and I can't wait to visit again.

Thank you for opening your group to poms - I promise not to whinge.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Anna:) It's lovely to have you with us! Some beautiful country down that way..glad you can visit Australia now and then :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to the group Anna. I'm a Pom too although I have lived here for years now. Whereabouts do you hail from in the UK?

[Sharon]

Hi Anna, welcome to the group :)

Welcome Anna - nice to meet you. I am an Australian who was born in England - when my hubby says "stop whinging" I tell him I'm allowed to I'm a natural born Pom :)

Hi everyone,

I'm Kiera. I am brand new to the group- I just joined a couple of hours ago. I am 31 years old and I live in Logan region in QLD with my husband- a Brissie native- and our two dogs, two guinea pigs and nutso little budgie. I was born and raised on the NSW Far North Coast. I was born in Lismore (1983), worked in Lismore(2001-2009), but did all of my schooling in Alstonville(1989-2001), before studying veterinary nursing in Tamworth(2002-2003). As I couldn't find a job in the Veterinary industry, I ended up finding a job with Bunnings(2004-present) and- apart from having a year away- have been there ever since. I lived abroad for a year in Zurich, Switzerland (Oct 2005-Sept 2006), where I was a nanny and I LOVED it. I actually didn't want to come back to Australia. Lol! I had always been interested in travelling, but that year away really meant that I was bitten by the bug!

My interests are reading (of course), writing, travelling, music and I am a mad animal lover, but most especially dogs. My dream in life is to be a well-travelled, crazy dog lady by the time I am old. Lol. I now work at Bunnings Cannon Hill and volunteer my Tuesdays at Animal Welfare League @ Stapylton. I am also interested in conservation.

Types of books I love are very wide ranging. I love almost any fiction genre- though I am not so fond of murder mysteries, and I love non fiction books about animals, travel, nature, history and books about different countries and cultures.

Hi Kiera! Welcome to the group :)

[K]

Thank you, Leonie.

Hi Kiera, welcome to the group :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to the group Kiera. If you join our Chat thread you will quickly find that lots of us are dog lovers too!

[Suz]

Welcome Anna:)

[Suz]

Welcome Keira. I spend three weeks a year at Lennox Head and love it up there!

[K]

Lennox is awesome and so is Ballina. I do not like Lismore much. Lol

[K]

good to hear, Phrynne!! :D

[Kylie]

Hi everyone,
Thanks for inviting me to the group! It's so amazing to connect with so many people who love reading as much as I do.
I guess I should first put it out there that I am an author of children's and YA books, but I haven't joined this group to promote my books. I've loved books since I could read and since becoming an author, I've been able to connect with other people who I can 'talk' books with. Before that, I just kept to my own little reading world. So being an author has opened up so many doors, I didn't know existed.
So a bit more about me: I am 27, I live in Western Sydney, I'm a part-time teacher librarian in a primary school, I love tea and chocolate. At the moment, I mostly read YA, as that's the books I'm writing.
I'm looking forward to joining in lots of great discussions with you guys!

[Suz]

Welcome Kylie, we come from the same neck of the woods! But you can promote your books here, just brows the threads and you can't go wrong! Our moderators are very helpful too ;)

Hi Kylie, welcome to the group :)

[Sally906]

Welcome Kylie and Kiera. Nice to meet you - looking forwards to talking books with you :)

[K]

Hanks so mug, Sally. I look forward to it. :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome Kylie. I for one will be very interested to look at your books when you establish yourself in the Authors section.

[Anna]

Goodness - what a lot of people joining!

My thanks to Sharon, Leonie, Sally 906, Suzanne and Phrynne for such a warm welcome.

Phrynne, I live in Kent and surprisingly it is about 18c today and sunny. For October, that's terrific. (Being English I talk about the weather all the time!)

It's good to see there's a few pompoms in the group (poms whinge, pompoms dance).

Welcome to Kiera, Caitlyn, and Kylie (tea and chocolate, sigh, I need some now).

[Margaret]

Hi all, I've just joined the group...at least I think I'm in; I have been at my laptop for what seems like days , trawling thru various sites and blogs trying to find where I should 'land'. Then I found Goodreads/ Aussie reader...Phew!
I live in Sydney's south, commonly known as 'The Shire" with my husband. We have four kids, grown up married with families. I am a prolific reader, and have always loved to write. Three years ago I won a contest with my memoir..prize was a copy of my book in paperback. This is not commercially available at present. Just a couple of months ago I had my book made into an e-book and it's out there in cyber-space.Hence my arrival at Goodreads.I am trying to get around blogs, blogging and so on and tearing my hair out in the process. Right now I don't have a pic I can put up but am attending to that asap. Right now I'm reading a couple of books..or three. I usually seem to have a few on the go at once. I love reading memoir, Helen Garner, and lots of fiction; never read fantasy or witchcrafty type books, but hey..there's still time. I'm looking forward to interacting with my newfound Goodreads/ Aussie Readers.
Ciao, Margaret

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Hello Margaret. You have certainly landed in the right place. This is a really good group to be in. Have fun:)
