I wasn't trying to hijack or anything Gail, just kept seeing a lot of Brissie people - hope I didn't cross the line?

[[deleted user]]

It doesn't bother me Tracey, it's a Queensland thing. I am happy to have you fight it out amongst yourselves. :)

It's a great idea Tracey - why don't we adjourn to the Queensland thread to see who's interested and arrange a time/place. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4...

[Tracey]

Done Gail - see how it turns out

[Tony]

Hi Mandy,
Sorry I have not been around awhile, you were kind enough to befreinded me a while ago just when I joined but I got in a mess getting used to things and also got very busy. So thought I'd try again and pick up the pieces and find out what goes on here.I could do with a bit of help navigating.
I have had another ebook published since then and am currently writing another with Sirroco who edits me at www.clublighthousepublishing.com

[[deleted user]]

Welcome back Tony. :D

[Tony]

Hi Gail
ThanXs for the call, please forgive me if it was you that helped me out last time I do recall your name now! Hope I can get my act together this time...;D

[[deleted user]]

I don't think I was that much help in the end. There are a couple of other people here that might be more successful if you get stuck. :)

Welcome to send me a question if you need help Tony but you can also try the "Basic How to use Goodreads" thread as well which has lots of good tips.:)

[Tony]

Hi Mandy & Gail
I will try that "How to" and get acclimatized to things. I am pushing the buttons and seeing what's what hope I dont get lost again!

[Tony]

Yep me again!
Getting along better with it all here now... Have made a profile added pics and art work there too.
Can't find the thread "How to" tho!

[Neko]

Welcome back Tony :)

[[deleted user]]

Tony here it is. It is just some helpful hints Mandy put together. You might have to wade through it as sometimes we get distracted from the topic. :D

[Tony]

Thanks for that...I'll give it a go...

[Iris]

Hi everyone ... My name is Iris and I live an hour west of Melbourne. Originally I come from Germany but have been here now for a while.

I've been on goodreads for a while now leaving my "2 cents" about books i've read, but only recently have had the time to look through the site in more detail ... AND that's how I found the Aussie readers. I look forward to reading your posts though with two little ones, a job, being on the hunt for a publisher for my second book and a radio show - time is not a luxury in our household, but I wouldn't like to have it any other way.

So - thanks to everyone for having me here :-)

[[deleted user]]

Welcome to the group Iris. Join in if and when you can. :D

[[deleted user]]

G'day Iris, what radio show do you do, I was ABC far norths 'poet laureate' for a while & had a every Wednesday morning segment as guest presenter of a topical poem I wrote through the week (well 4 days really)

[Iris]

Thanks, Gail !

@David - I do the German program once a month on VoiceFM here in town.

Me. Sydney. Civil Service. Waistcoat. Beard. Two kids. Cask Wine. Beach.

Read a great deal, currenly on a throw away Dennis Lehane novel (great crime writing) and just finished Seven Types of Ambiguity by Eliot Perlman which was half a great book and half a burst balloon

Not sure what's up next. I keep considering A Suitable Boy but......

Welcome to the group Sandyboy.

I loved A Suitable Boy, but I know others who found it a bit of a challenge. Just the size of it is a bit daugnting. I found it well worth the challenge.

Kind regards and seasons greetings to all
Tony

[Tony]

Oh it's leant it over anyway...all of it!

[Jan]

Welcome Simon, I'm from Perth too. Why not scroll down all the discussions till you come to the state by state roundup(near the bottom) and say hello on the WA thread. I'm trying to encourage West Aussies to pop in there...the more the merrier. This invitation also holds true for all those West Aussies who joined before we started our own spot, as well as any newbies! And anyone may pop in and say hi...we're a friendly bunch.
