Thanks for all the welcomes! I think I'm going to have some fun here, but yes I think I'm going to find it a little distracting, but that's not a bad thing, right???

PS Thanks for the links, I've been checking them all out :)

Hi everyone I've been in Oz for about a year and a half with a studying purpose(As you all can see my English is not very well so please take it a bit easy on me).
When i'm in here I've been really overwhelmed by the diversity cultures and especially in the literature. I have never touched an English book before when I first did in 2009 which was Tik-Tok of Oz by L.Frank Baum. I have been completely fell in love with English books since then and would love to read more and more. Lastly, I currently live in Melbourne.

[Bobbi-Jo]

Hi, My name is Bobbi-Jo and i live in Kalgoorlie Boulder in WA. Thanks for the invite and it will be great to find out what everyone is reading.

Which is the main reason for me joining Goodreads as i just opened an independent book store in town bout 7 months ago, (its all new releases and not second hand) and i know that i cant get to read every book that comes in,(I so wish I could though) so reading all the reviews about books that I have in the shops, and I am able to view them to the customers. It has helped me out so much already - so thanks guys! :o) If there is something new that has come out and i have read it I will let you all know how it goes :o)

So mainly just saying thanks in advance for all your reviews as it also helps me find my next book to read!

Hello, I'm Graham

I live in Wollongong, have my whole life. I play guitar, and hang out with my mates when I'm not working in an emergency service call centre.

Using this site mostly to keep track of what I'm reading, and to keep me kickiing on into the more boring books.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Graham, lovely to have you with us:)

I changed it after your post, as an ode to the amazing Gir (a delayed realisation I could get away with such a delightful/tragic pun)
