Reading is a joyous past-time:)

[Brittany]

Hello, I'm Brittany and I have always been a bit of a reader, however the last few months have really been just me reading haha!

I'm a second year Uni student, studing social work and social planning.

I come from a family of readers, both my mum and dad being big readers and my mum always chose my books for me :)

My favourite author is V.C Andrews, I find her books to be easy to read yet so enthralling and hard to put down.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Brittany, lovely to have you with us:)

[Praveeta]

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome to the group Praveeta..lovely to have you with us. Congratulations on Imagine Travelling To The Most Mysterious & Unusual Places!:)

[Karen]

Hi, my name is Karen and I'm in Perth. Have been on Good Reads for a little while but haven't really looked at the groups before. I don't record all of my books, only the ones I enjoy. I have just finished 'There, Where the Pepper Grows' and an Inspector Brunetti book (was watching Zen on ABC and got interested in these English-speaking Italian detectives!). I have been on a run of dud books, having not finished several I've started lately. I don't believe in wasting good reading time beyond a certain point... that depends on how committed I feel at the time! So off to return them to my local library today. i don't really buy books - I borrow them. And good old fashioned paper is my drug of choice! Anyway, that's enough of a ramble - looking forward to reading more here. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Karen, lovely to have you with us:)

[Brittany]

I adore this group already, everyone is so friendly! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You'll definitely find we're a friendly bunch Brittany:)

[Karen]

Hi everyone, I live in the Blue Mountains. I love to read -- mostly fantasy, but I will read other genres too when the mood takes me.

I'm looking forward to reading your recommendations and finding new authors to add to my list.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Karen, lovely to have you with us! Enjoy browsing, you'll find lots of new authors here...your TBR list will grow rapidly;)

[Karen]

Oh, that might be a problem as it's already quite long. But I think I'll manage just fine. :)

[Lynxie]

Hi All, I am from Canberra.

Returning to writing after quite a bit of a break, never gave up reading though! Currently I have my 2012 reading goal of 110 books this year.

Hi Aussie readers! I'm a bookworm and a mum who lives in Brisbane. I love to read fantasy and sci-fi and have just started blogging about my reading adventures at http://oakenbookcase.wordpress.com.

[Mark]

Hi all,

I'm a Sydney based speculative fiction reader - science fiction and fantasy mainly. I joined Goodreads recently to participate in the Australian Women Writers 2012 Reading Challenge and came across this group while exploring.

I'm trying to review most of the books I read - reviews are either here on Goodreads or on my website.

Look forward to talking about books, especially with all those speculative fiction fans out there!

[Kylie]

Hey there everyone, I am from Renmark, South Australia. I have joined due to my daughter always posting her reading updates on facebook. I have always loved reading, there is nothing like curling up with a good book and immersing myself in another time and place.
I am a huge fan of Sci Fi but will read anything. There is not many books I haven't enjoyed.
I am looking forward to spending more time on here and getting to know people.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

[JB]

Hello fellow Aussie readers. I have just arrived here.

I am an avid reader as well as an author. I also teach English as a private tutor so often need to read the books my students are required to read for their studies. Yes, a lot of reading! My reading passion is murder mysteries. Love a good murder so long as it is not in real life!

As an author I have just published my first ebook (Whisper My Secret) and will launch a children's series in April.

I live in Melbourne, Victoria where it sometimes gets too cold for me, otherwise 'tis marvellous here. JB :-)

Hi JB :) Welcome!
