Hi Asha and Sulie welcome to the group.
Hi Everyone,I'm Julia and I am originally from Chicago but now live in Houston. After graduating from uni, I spend four months backpacking through Australia and hit every state except for Western Australia. I loved my time there and hope to go back in the next couple of years because it's already been 17 years!
I'm still fascinated with Australian culture, art, and history and love reading Australian writers and Australian historical fiction.

Hi, I'm Gabrielle and I've been in Australia since I was five years old (born in UK). I currently live in Newcastle but I grew up in Sydney and was in a country town near Canberra until this year. I started blogging reviews a couple of years ago when I did an "only reading Australian authors this year" challenge. I now don't limit my reading to anything like that, but as I write YA and follow other #LoveOzYA bloggers on twitter, I do find myself reading a fair few Australian YA authors. I've been on Goodreads a little while but haven't really used it much for community until now.Ummm what else? I'm cisgender female, so use she/her pronouns. I'm not far off 30. I used to be a high school teacher and haven't quite left the teaching community behind enough to stop thinking about what books would be good for a classroom or talking to other teachers. My debut novel is coming out in May with Ford Street Publishing. My favourite author is Jaclyn Moriarty (I don't write as well as her or with her delightful whimsy, sorry). I have 3 children aged 6, 4 and 18 months. I also have a golden retriever.
Welcome to the group Julia and Gabrielle nice to meet you both.Julia we have a couple of other North American members so you'll fit in very well, there are a lot of Aussie Authors who write Australian Historical novels so you'll soon come up with a huge list - and Gabrielle I'm an ex Novicastrian (now living in Darwin) but there are a few members that are living in and around Newcastle who will no doubt introduce themselves in due course. Also a lot of YA lovers as well.

Hi Sulie, Julia and Gabrielle - and anyone else I may have missed! Welcome to the nicest group on Goodreads :)
Greetings, hello, aloha, salutations, and a big HI to Julia and Gabrielle! Welcome to the group!Congrats Julia on the upcoming debut! Must be so exciting! I have so many books in my head but have never had the wherewithal to get them down let alone even attempt to publish. So kudos to you!
Howdy to the windy city girl living in lone star state now! I was born and raised in Michigan original, but have lived in Oz for 6.5 years now.
Hi everyone,I'm an Aussie author of historical fiction and my debut novel was released in December last year. It's been an intensely busy time as I have another book coming out next year. Look forward to joining in :)

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I'm so glad to have found this group. My only problem is finding some of the books! I keep telling my husband we need to go to Australia so I can stock up.
Hello Julia, I'm from the US as well! Welcome!! You'll fit right in!! =o)I can probably help you locate books for you, Julia. I'm getting rather good at it too but it took me a while to fine tune my search system! =o)
If you PM me a list of books you're looking for I'll see what I can do! Just let me know. I'm always around to help! Nice to meet you!

Hi Julie, Gabrielle and Kate and Congratulations on your debut books Kate and Julia!
Thanks Krystal, Jenny, Leonie and Carolyn. Lovely to be here :)
Hi, Eion here and found this group, with FOMO making me join!Live in regional South Australia, with a busy life that up until recently has provided little time for reading. Enter goodreads, inspiring setting up a personal challenge to read more books = surprising and unexpected renewed reading experiences.
Have a wide reading interest, as found interesting books from science (the Radium Girls) to science fiction (Thrawn).
Currently hooked on the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly, as what's so interesting is something small can spark a genre interest - in this case from a television series.

Welcome Eion. I had to look up FOMO. I think Fear Of Missing Out on what FOMO means made me do it.
Mod
Good one Ace, challenge was deliberately set for a lookup to the meaning :) Have to disclose I only come across this term within the last month.
