Hi, I've just joined as well. I'm an avid reader, although my book budget for this year has just run out. :-(. I'm also an author. My debut novel just got an award so that's made me really happy! :-)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to you too Lynne.
I hope all of you new members who are authors are going to our Author's Spotlight section so we can find out about your books.

[Lynne]

Sure thing. :-)

Hi! I'm Willow
I live in, can't make up it's mind if it wants to be hot or bloody cold right now, Adelaide haha.

I joined the group to see what other Aussies are reading and get some recommendations and read reviews from like minded book addicts :). I read a little bit of everything but high fantasy and fairytales are my obsession.

Catch you around

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Willow and David! Great to have you with us:) Have fun while browsing the site...

[Leonie]

Hi everyone new! I just realised that my email notifications have been a bit patchy, so I'm catching up. I think that 'featured group' thing may have lifted our profile, judging by all the new members :)

Hi, Willow :-) I grew up in Adelaide but now live in country SA (Wallaroo on Yorke Peninsula). I love high fantasy, too, and am developing an interest in fairytales. If you haven't read it yet, I HIGHLY recommend Gossip from the Forest by Sara Maitland.

[K]

Sally and Willow, what do you class as high fantasy? Fantasy is one of my favourite genres, but I am not exactly clear on the difference?

Hey Kiera. High Fantasy are stories like 'Lord of the Rings' or The Song of Ice and Fire' where an entire new world is created not just 'overlaid' onto something very much like our own i.e Harry Potter. If that makes sense.

And thanks Sally I haven't read that one yet, I'll definitely give it a look :D

[K]

Ahh okay. Cheers.

[Aj]

Hi Willow and Welcome......

[Ryley]

Helloo, my name is Ryley, I'm a from Melbourne and I'm a newbie to Goodreads as well as Aussie Readers. I love reading regularly and right now I'm really interested in reading YA books, I feel like I'm becoming obsessed! I just keep picking up one after another without really thinking about it lol, so I really would like to branch out to different genres and also I would like to read more crime and thrillers as I love very suspenseful books and with twists that you don't see coming. If anyone has any recommendations I'd love to hear them :)
I've looked at a few of the reading challenges within this group and I can't wait to pick one and get started.

- Ryley :)

Welcome to the group, Ryllee

Whoops, sorry, I spelt your name wrong.
