message 9451: by Eric (new)

Eric (ebaland) | 1 comments Hi all, I'm Eric from down south in Southern Tassie. I mainly listen to audiobooks while working on the small family hobby farm. I try to balance my reading between nonfiction and fiction, and between subjects as well. My most recent favourite nonfiction book was The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert, and my most recent favourite fiction book was Where the Crawdads Sing. I would love to hear from anyone using the TAS public library for audiobooks - favourites? must-reads? Thanks, and nice to meet everyone.

ˋ°•☆&;josie.ೃ࿐  (readingwithjosie) Hi everyone,
I’m a book and book tube enthusiast living in Brisbane.

I read various genres, my favourites being speculative, surreal and fantasy fiction.

My friend and I recently started a book club for people who live in Brisbane on Goodreads, we’re hoping to start monthly meet ups for fellow nerds. We only have 5 GR members so far as most of the group don’t use it but I thought I would let this group know, it’s called Some Such Book Club.

A bit about me: yoga teacher, administrator, artist and graphic designer. I teach fitness at a rock climbing gym, am working on making logos and packaging for a make up company and I work as admin for a local company.

I read quite a lot (65 books in 2019) and am thinking of starting my own book tube channel because I love booktube 😊

Alex Duffell | 3 comments Hi Everyone,

My name is Alex Duffell and my friend, Leonie Rogers, introduced me to this group. I am an avid reader, but haven’t read so much lately as I’ve got a 4 1/2 month old son, Edward and sleep is precious! I’m looking forward to getting back into reading and thankfully- have just discovered the world of audio books!!! Hurrah!!!

Dianne Gary HI everyone
Im Di and Im a dairy farmer in northern victoria
I "read" books in two ways - old school printed books and also audiobooks
I love listening to books I dont think I could wade through in print
Im a bit adverse to reading on a device as Im on several boards and have to read board papers that way so its put me off books a bit

Janelle | 637 comments Hi everyone.
I’m Janelle and I live in the Blue Mountains. I’ve been an avid reader all my life and have way too many physical books on my shelves so now I mostly read on my iPad.
This is the first goodreads group I have joined and I’m still getting into the swing of things!

Shay | 3 comments Hey everyone :)
I'm Shay and I consider myself a vagabond. (As in, I've moved between Sydney and the Blue Mountains and rural Australia too often in the past 2 years to truly fix myself somewhere lol!)
I've been a lurker on Goodreads for years but only recently made a profile and decided to keep track of my books and get involved. I have exactly... let me count... 56 books sitting on my desk or in my shelves that I've bought and need to read. Do I have a problem? ... Nah. :)

Leonie (leonierogers) | 3568 comments Hi Shay. I don't know that 56 books is a problem at all. Rather, an opportunity... 😁


message 9483: by Maggie (new)

Maggie Hi all, I belonged to Aussie Readers years back but life got in the way of many things including my reading. However, things have turned about and I'm back enjoying my books again. I'll try to get into the challenges but I'm not always quick enough to read the selected books.

John Maygrove | 7 comments Hi, I'm an avid reader and writer. Just released my second novel.

I'm English but I've lived on the northern beaches of Sydney for the past 3 years, got married, own a house and two pups, so i have no intention of leaving.

Never really looked at goodreads groups before but I already feel like it's a more positive place to connect with other like-minded readers and writers, whereas Twitter, which I used a lot before, is more just about self promotion.

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments Welcome John - Goodreads is the best platform I have found for someone who wants to talk about books rather than just gathering 'likes'. I hope you have fun here.
