Done.

[Kristy]

Hey everyone! My name's Kristy, and I'm 21-years-old. I currently live on the north-side of Brisbane with my boyfriend, and work for one of Australia's leading bookshops.

Whilst I love anything and everything Young Adult, I have a strong preference for urban-fantasy and contemporary novels. Some of my recent favourite reads are Breathing Under Water, Illuminae, and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I'm a pretty slow reader, but hey, I'm working on it!

I started reading when I was in grade six or seven, thanks to Eragon. Since then, I've been completely and utterly obsessed with reading, and I can't imagine my life without books.

Fun fact: I've never read Harry Potter. (woops!)

When I'm not reading, I love spending time with my friends, or frying my brain cells with television and video games. I'm currently in the middle of re-watching Supernatural, and I've recently been playing Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I make a lot of puns and dad jokes (more so in person than in writing), so take that as your one and only warning. I swear that many of my friends want to murder me half the time that they're with me!

Welcome to the group Kristy-Leigh. We're a pretty friendly lot so hopefully your jokes will go down well:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Kristy-Leigh :) Lovely to have you with us. Enjoy browsing the threads :)

Welcome Kristy

Hi Kristy, welcome.
I used to live in Clayfield, Brisbane is such a glorious city to live in.

Hi Pia,
I've looked around your blog. Asperger's can be an annoying problem, but it looks to me like you've used it as a challenge rather than as a burden (or maybe sometimes one, sometimes the other?)

I'm leaving my email address at the blog, and may be able to help you with publicity. Have a look around my blog https://bobrich18.wordpress.com

Not if you are an Aussie. Mine was in the US and we spent half the time arguing semantics.

Welcome Alex.

[Sally906]

Welcome to the group Alex - Bird watching is my second passion after reading - not so much into thrillers though ;)

Nice to meet you.

[A.K.]

Hi All,

I'm a Perth based project manager by day and author by night. I love speculative fiction, sci-fi and fantasy as well as a good historical drama or a thriller that can really grab you. I would like to think that reading makes you a better writer and lately I've fallen into a bit of a hole with reading with work and everything else. Would love to get suggestions for good books with interesting protagonists! Nice to meet you all!

[Maureen]

HI there! Somehow I saw a post about a Christmas challeng,and wound up in this group. I'm currently living in South East Georgia, USA... But, I've been to Australia many times. I'm a retired flight attendant and spent many January's in Melbourne for I am a HUGE tennis fan. I'm now counting the days for the 2017 Australian Open! New to retirement, new to my iPad (I'm not bad on a regular computer) and pretty new to goodreads, and groups...and I'm trying to learn how to navigate around the groups to join a challenge. Looking forward to meeting new friends !!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to the group Maureen. Did you find our Christmas challenge or do you need some help?

[Leonie]

Hi Maureen!

[Ace]

Welcome Maureen!

[Maureen]

I love all the challenges ...BUT my biggest challenge is finding at least one Aussie Author. I never really thought much about where an author lived before.....

[Ace]
