He Megalion and welcome. While there's often fierce rivalry between us and NZ, we are pretty close-knit when it comes to the rest of the world, I think. We just try to ignore the fact that many of our famous "Aussies" were actually born in NZ.

Hi Jay - you'll find people here have so many recommendations, you're going to need several lifetimes to catch up!


message 7526: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello!

My name is Tenae and I'm from Newcastle! I'm a university (and soon to be TAFE) student. As well as reading, I love to write, and it has always been my dream to be an author. Although that dream hasn't died, it has fallen back on my list of priorities (getting a stable job with dependable income is my first priority - hence the student bit.)

Despite it being nigh impossible, I want to try and attempt to read a million books over my lifetime - and using Goodreads to keep track of that, for proof reasons.

Currently I don't have any friends here on Goodreads, but I hope to change that shortly!

message 7541: by Famine (new)

Famine (wolfcreed) Hullo!

I'm Wolfrott; 28, from the Top End! I've been a member of GR for a year or so, and I realised I should belong to one Aussie group.

I love horror, fantasy, YA, animals, thrillers, and mysteries. Most of my taste runs towards older and classic books, than new ones. I predominately read eBooks on my Kindle due to my physical disability.

Glad to be here!

Quetzi Fernald (quetzilibros) | 9 comments Hi Manda. I'd love to read more Aussie Authors. I read many years ago a book on Aussie Folklore & it left me wanting more. please recommend some authors that will give me an inside look at life in sunny Australia. It can be Historical too. That's one of my favorite genres.
