With that wonderful attitude, I'm sure you'll make a great recovery. My very best to you Tracey.

This is sooo true about Tasmania as well. It's so odd you talk to someone and then they end up knowing someone you know..you'd never expect it. Happened alot reccently with my family haha.

It's been so long since I've commented that I almost feel new myself. I've been away working on my blog and putting together a marketing plan for Dragon Bones, which should begin shipping this week!

I see that in that time we've got 100 new members and Mandy and Gail have managed to recruit 3 new moderators. Welcome to everyone!

welcome all new members!

[Sally906]

I have been in the group a couple of days now and thought it time to formally introduce myself. My name is Sally and I live in Darwin. We have lived here for 33 years which coincidently is how long we have been married. We were originally from Newcastle NSW where my husband was born. I was born in England and brought up in West Africa - Nigeria.

I have been reading for ever and can no more not read than I can not breath. My hubby is a reader, both our daughters are readers and both our grandsons are readers.

I read most genres but not westerns or huge doorstop books. Although I did read The Passage last year.

Ok so that's me!

Welcome newbies and Sally 906. Sally, interested you were brought up in Nigeria. Our writers group is small, in a very small town (pop. 1200) in country Queensland. And two of the members were born in England and have lived in Africa! Marion from South Africa, through Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to Kenya until she was 15 and they went back to the U.K. (And left it for Oz 2 years later.)

Dave and a friend drove a mini through the Sahara Desert when he was about 26 then spent the next 20 years in Rhodesia. He left when Mugabe came to power.
Coincidence? It's rife in this town - there's a lady in the next street who went to school with me in another town almost 60 years ago!

Have a good time here, Sally, and everyone else new to GR.

Hi Sarah. I've only been here for a day or so :)

Our daughter lives on the Gold Coast. When she was a child I could never get her to read. Now she is grown up with a toddler of her own you would think she had invented reading. LOL!

[Dianne]

Hi everyone, my name is Dianne and I live in Sydney. I am married with 3 children. Like everyone here I too am an avid reader. I mostly read romance novels both historical and contemporary and enjoy mystery/suspense novels as well. I have only recently joined Goodreads and have found it a valuable resource for finding books to read. I look forward to joining in on group discussions and discovering new authors recommended by all the members here.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Big welcome, Dianne..:)

[Patty]

LOL I suppose I could have just searched the site before I posted that comment. I'm loving Aussie authors Glenda Larke and Sean Williams amongst others. I'm part of the SFF writing community and we meet each other at conventions and the like. Totally awesome

Hi Dianne, welcome to Aussie Readers. I'm a mystery/suspense author and fan of many genres. If you like romance and suspense, I'm wondering if you've read The Time Traveller's Wife, this was one of my faves in 2010.

Hi Patty from another Sydneysider (well, kind of, I'm on the fringes, out Macarthur way). All the best with your s/f, fantasy writing.

[Mandapanda]

Big Welcome to the group Brent!:)
