Cute Doggies Kate! :D

Welcome Suezanne (what a nice way to spell it. Everyone gets mine wrong so I guess we are the same boat!). You could set up your own challenge, in 'personal challenges'. Our mods are very knowledgeable if you have questions. I hope you enjoy it here.

I'm loving it here, thanks for making me feel so welcome everyone.

Hi Suezanne I too love the sound of your farm. I hope you have your shelves sorted by now. I made a rash promise the read 100 this year. I hope I will make 60, smile.

[Andrew]

Hi I'm Andrew, I'm from Sydney. I read a range of things, scifi, crime, thrillers - I even venture into literature when it seems safe to do so.
Finding time to read as much as I would like is a challenge these days - mostly it's on the bus (if I can find a seat). Having ebooks on my phone is great - being able to dive into a book when there is a spare moment is a luxury of modern life.
I write a bit too - I have a blog about how my wife and I are attempting to eating our way along King St in Newtown and a book that I published last year.
I'm still trying to figure out how Goodreads works in practice - I guess its one of those learn as you do things. I'm looking forward to learning about new books.

Hi I haven't forgotten about you all. It's just I'm still stuck on Shantaram and found a distraction by a name of Xbox.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

How's Oscar getting on Neil? I can imagine Shantaram would be put aside for him:)

[Neil]

Yes he is now 9 months and such a boy! Best thing to happen for my wife & I.

I'm really happy for you both Neil:) It's wonderful to have little ones in your life...enjoy it while they're young as well!

Hi Anabelee, welcome to AR :D

[Graham]

Hello. I'm Graham. I've been on Goodreads for less than a year. I mostly thought it would be useful for keeping track of what I had read (I try to read 40 books a year) and receive some recommendations, but I've started to notice that there's a lot more on this site than I realised. I'll confess, I'm not much of a participant when it comes to the internet - more of an observer - so this is a little new for me, but everyone here seems to have a lot of fun and the discussions are interesting.

I'm a reader and a writer, too. I signed a contract with a traditional publisher last year and my debut novel is on its way (a topic for the Authors Spotlight perhaps). I hope nobody will consider me the spectre at the feast if I do talk about my book someday - I don't wish to steal the spotlight from the courageous and determined self-publishers that pass through here.

I do love to read, and my taste is eclectic. I'm searching for that perfect sentence, the one that makes you stop and want to say the words aloud. This is also why I write: I've written a few sentences that I'm very proud of, but the ones I read are always much more brilliant. I see the readers here have all selected favourite quotes, so I believe that this search is not an unusual one and is perhaps something we can share.

I'm also interested in hearing insights. I started writing to create the kind of stories that I wanted to read, so there's no better place for a writer (and a reader!) than in the company of other readers. Having said that, I'm just happy to talk about books.

I look forward to many interesting discussions (though I hope I'm much less loquacious in the future).

[K]

Lovely to 'meet' you, Graham. Welcome to the group.

[Carolyn]
