message 9501: by Kristy (new)

Kristy (thereaderdragon) Howdy all, I'm Kristy and I live in Brisbane!

I didn't become much of a reader until I was 12, and after finishing high school I worked in a bookshop for 7 years and now my TBR is out of control!

I mostly read Young Adult and Middle-Grade and it's not often that I dabble outside of these but it does happen. I particularly enjoy Urban Fantasy and Dystopian.

I've never really been active in any Goodreads Groups, but I'm figuring this is the perfect time to start branching out what with everything going on.

So yeah.. hi! :)

Laura | 3 comments Hello everyone! My name is Laura and I live in beautiful Tasmania. I really love it here!!

I only really started reading when I was 13, but have been book obsessed ever since. It is great to immerse yourself in a good story. My favourite genres are adult and YA fantasy and science fiction. However, I have been trying out some classics and thrillers lately. My others hobbies include art (which tends to take a large amount of my reading time) and writing.

I'm excited to meet more book lovers like myself! :)

message 9517: by H.R. (new)

H.R. Adel I'm Jim, but I use the pen name H.R. van Adel. I'm a Queenslander living in Victoria. I much prefer Victorian weather, and don't think I could handle the heat up north any more.

I write grimdark. Mainly. Sometimes I write other stuff.

I read fantasy, history and literary classics exclusively. If the fantasy isn't grimdark, I tend not to enjoy it very much - I crave ultra-violence and the darkest of dark themes.

Welcome to the group Jasmine:)


Potato (previously Ennie) Hey everyone! My name is Erin and I live in Victoria. I try to read as often as possible, but am also currently studying to be a nurse... so it's a bit of a balancing act.

I'm still in the midst of discovering what I like and dislike, but really am enjoying adult contemporary and historical fiction. I'm hoping to read 50 books this year :)
