I was born in the States, 2nd generation French, but I spent most of my life in Mexico City. I was a Singer/Entertainer & I sang in Spanish & English. I also modeled there & did translations. I studied most of my life Jazz, Classical, & Modern Ballet & also took voice lessons. I play several instruments also. I'm retired now & I'm back in the states dealing with all the crazy weather we have in Indiana. ;) I'm an avid reader & I'll read "almost" anything. I love reading books set in foreign countries & I'm looking forward to learning more about Australia through their author's imagination. Now that I'm old, I consider myself an arm chair traveler!! LOL! Thanks for welcoming me to the group. I'm looking forward to reading some books set in sunny Australia. ;)
BTW, I forgot to add that after I returned to the States I went back to College & got a double degree in Fine Arts (my specialty is Graphic Design, although I love to paint & sclupture)& Languages. I speak French, Spanish & English & I understand a bit of Italian & Portugese. I love languages & people of different nationalities. I consider myself a citizen of the world! ;)
Ciao For Now,
Quetzi

Hi everyone!
My name is Melissa and I am in Geelong, Victoria. I have always been a bit of a bookworm but it's only been in the last 2 years that I have discovered (and been hooked on) YA books.
I recently started my own book review website which is called Book Nerd Reviews - http://www.booknerdreviews.com, so if you want check that out. I am hoping to get more and more reviews up there soon.
When I'm not reading, I am an avid photographer and I often do photoshoots for friends and family and their children. Word has started to travel so that has been keeping me pretty busy. I also like to spend time with my boyfriend and go to Melbourne Storm games! ;)

Hi all I am happy to see so many Aussies here! I am in southern NSW right on the border of victoria. I like murder/ mystery/ crimes novels and biographys/ historical but get into some fiction also. Not really into the sci fi/ fantasy stuff so much.

Can't remember if I've ever commented over here, though I have been lurking. I'm on the YA for Adults group if anyone else here is in that group. So, hey!
Thanks for the welcome Carmel! I'm heading over to that thread now.

Welcome Peep & Karen, if you havent been scared away...
HiI'm Anne and I am a High School English Teacher in Sydney. I get bogged down in a lot of school texts but try to keep up with books, particularly as I teach Extension 1 and 2 English, extension 2 being a subject where the kids have 9 months to create a substantial creative major work. My favourite Australian book is Rhubarb by Craig Silvey. See my review for comments if interested.
Welcome Anne :) We're not as strange as Michael might say...well, not all of us.
Welcome Anne! Now we have someone to grill when we don't understand the words :P

Hi all, or dare I say it, G'day!I've been part of Goodreads for 2 years, a user on and off, but didn't realise there was an outpost for Aussies.
I read and write, while fantasy is mostly my thing. Previously, I was a bookseller. I'm currently in Perth, but have also lived in Sydney.

Welcome Colin..Just ignore the crazies (Michael and Lost) ehehehehe ;)
