No I'm not new here, Dom. It's just that I don't post on here as much as I use to. Hope you enjoy the group anyway. We are a friendly bunch and the mods in this group are very helpful if you ever need to know anything. Happy reading :)

Hi everyone, I've just joined the group. I'm Edi from Melbourne.

When I was young I read very widely but since working full time and now kids I read less and less. But I miss it.

I stumbled across Goodreads looking for a book I remembered reading about 20 years ago, (The Outcast by Patricia Bernard, if anyone's interested) and then saw this community.

I have pretty broad tastes so not much point listing what I like (I don't like horror or true crime!). I like reading books by Australian authors or with an Australian flavour. Looking forward to picking up some recommendations and being part of this community.

[Chris]

Some Australian authors follow the more "commercial" take. For example, Matthew Reilly writes action thrillers. Traci Harding (lives in Sydney) writes fantasy/scifi, as do I (I'm in Brisbane).

But let me look around. I am friends with others who may be looking for things of a greater Aussie flavour. :)

Welcome Edi! We have many threads in this group that you can check out that will give you lots of Aussie authors to try. Plus our Bookshelf (top right hand side on any page) is filled with AAs :) Have fun...

Thanks for the suggestions Chris - if you find anything for Edi, (or anyone else for that matter) can you pop them in the Aussie Recommendations thread please? Just that this is the Intro thread and anything else gets lost among the newbies introducing themselves :)

[Ediacaran]

Thank you for the welcome everyone! I think it will take me days to explore this community and the shelves before I can start to post. Have found a great thread with sci-fi/fantasy recommendations and will look out for yours too, Chris!

[Chris]

Brenda: Of course. I felt it relevant for Edi, as a new member.

Ediacaran: you are welcome :)

Hello Edi! Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here. I'm a newbie too and I'm loving every moment. I'm certainly still finding my feet with where everything is so to speak. :)

I also hope one day you'll be able to find some of the time you once had to read as widely as previously. I'm a bit like you, while I don't have children, I do work full time and don't read as much as I used to or would like.... I wish I could read all day like I once did!

Have fun Edi! xo

[Li'l Owl]

Hi Edi, Welcome! I'm from Melbourne too and absolutely hopeless at Goodreads and worse joining in on groups. The heart is willing but time is pressing :) The Aussie Readers bunch are super nice and helpful. Hope you enjoy it and get back into reading lots. Jay.

[Darla]

Hi guys! My name is Darla (like the fish killer). Unlike Darla from Finding Nemo, I live in Melbourne not Sydney. I just moved here with my family and I'm really excited to be a part of this Goodreads group!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hi Mark, great to have you in our group :) If you'd like to give us an insight into your books, head to the Author Spotlight section - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... - and create your own thread "new topic" top right hand corner. You can also request to be placed on the Aussie author list in that same folder as well :)

[Darla]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Welcome to the group Mark:)

[Li'l Owl]

Hiya! Darla and Mark!!

[Riz]

Hello, everyone!

My name is Rizwan and I will be moving to Melbourne this year.

I'm more into non-fiction books, particularly which are related to the history and current affairs of South Asia and history of the Middle East. Sometimes, I also read fiction books and John Steinbeck, George Orwell, Mario Puzo, Salman Rushdie are my favorite.


Moreover, I also like books by Yuval Noah Harari, Christopher Hitchens and sometimes Dawkins!

Kind regards,
Rizwan

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Rizwan :)

[Monique]

Good evening all. I joined Goodreads as a way to reach out to the world via my love for books. I turned to reading as a way of helping me deal with overthinking about stuff that has happened in the past. Would love to make some new friends as well as getting to know my tastes better, definitely not Mills & Boon novels. Anyway if you'd like to add me, please go ahead =)
