Welcome Jodie - nice to meet you :)
Hi I'm Tess I'm in NSW (at the mo). I don't read a huge amount of Aussie authors, but I do enjoy the ones I do.
I enjoy reading all genres, especially romance, mysteries and paranormal.
I'm an avid reader, who doesn't have many friends who enjoy to read. So feel free to add me... im craving a good book talk :)
Mod
Hi Tess, welcome to AR, you will find plenty to talk about here ;)Are you reading anything at the moment Tess?
Thanks Brenda, Julie and Michael !I'm browsing my TBR pile trying to decide what to read at the moment.. so many choices :)
Welcome Tess!
Welcome Jodie and Tess. You will find that TBR will grow even more now.

Welcome Tess! If you have a big tbr then you're in good company here :)
Hi Tess, Hi Jodie! Welcome to AR and I hope you enjoy.
Hi,My name is Annika and I am from Melbourne, Victoria. I'm reading The Luminaries at the moment, and being half New-Zealander, it has made me realise I don't read many Australian and Kiwi author/works. I plan to change this starting... now!

Hi Annika, welcome! May I recommend you check out Deborah Challinor...she's a terrific Kiwi author who we have now claimed as our own! Also, if you love a good crime/suspense, Vicki Tyley ;)
Our homegrown authors are world class...including our friends across the ditch!

Hi Annika! Plenty of Australian authors to discover here :)

I've been a Goodreads member for many years, but have only recently been doing the group thing in the hopes of expanding my reading choices. I don't expect to be an active poster, but I do like to see what people are reading for ideas and take on a challenge here and there.
This year my plan is 60 books, including 52 for the PopSugar 2015 Reading challenge, up from 48 read last year and 36 the year before that.
As a child/teen I was avid reader, but as I became an adult, and had children reading became less of a priority. I'm trying to get back into my old, reading habits, slowly but surely reading more books a year.
