Welcome back Shane and welcome Rob to the crew.

[Tracey]

Wow so many great new friends here! Welcome everyone, I'm really looking forward to getting to know you - I'm usually over in the Chat About Anything thread :)

[Sandra ~aka vamp gal~]

Hey, I'm Sandra
Been reading for only 5 years and can't seem to stop....oh well..... I love Paranormal romance and historical romance. I'm open to reading anything as long as it grabs me within a couple of pages. Bios I stay away from cause I'm a softy and they always make me cry. I'm looking forward to joining in and getting some good old Aussie opinions!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Sandra! Lovely to have you with us:) There are lots of threads here where you'll find recommendations you might be interested in:)

[Jim]

Hi everyone I'm James. I love a wide variety of books, and am about 50/50 fiction and non-fiction these days. In terms of fiction, I love anything character driven. Tim Winton is my favourite Australian, I have a soft spot for anything historical, love Hemmingway and the 'Lost Generation' in general, and my all-time favourite book is 'Catcher in the Rye'.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome James, great to have you join us:)

[Zoey]

Hi Everyone
Im from Tassie & love reading & will read just about anything from Historical Fiction to True Crime & everything in between. My husbands thinks I have a book fetish & I definitely have an addiction to buying books (especially 2nd hand bookshops love them)my shelf & boxes of to-be-read books is a little out of control. But I like to think I could have much worse addictions. Looking forward to meeting you all :)

[Emily]

Hi Zoey, hope you find lots of new books on here to feed your addiction!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Zoey, lovely to have you with us:) Enjoy! (We're all addicted on here...lol)

[Taylor]

Hi! I'm Taylor Longford and author of the Greystone Series for Young Adults. I joined this group because Mickey invited me. Also because my books only sell at night when I'm asleep so I assume only Australians are reading them, hahaha.

(I live in America.)

best,
taylor

[Krista the Krazy Kataloguer]

Hello! I'm not Australian, alas, but I am interested in learning more about Australian literature, both children's and adult. I am a librarian living in Rome, New York, USA. I've read some books by Australian writers, including B. Wongar, Shaun Tan, John Marsden, Gabrielle Lord, Alan Marshall, Marlo Morgan, Alan Baillie, Graeme Base, Mem Fox, Jackie French, Morris Gleitzman, Steven Herrick, Paul Jennings, Ruth Park, Joan Phipson, Ivan Southall, and Patricia Wrightson--mostly children's authors, actually. I've read quite a bit about the history of Australia, and would like to visit some day, so I'm interested in reading books about Australia too. Thanks for the invite to the group!

[Dale]

Hi Khang, Krista amd Taylor, welcome to the group. I'm another Aussie writer and reader from NSW
