Just found this group. I am an author (former foreign correspondent) living in Sydney. Wont mention my books! (Promotion outside authors threads is generally banned.) But you can check me out at my GoodReads site.

Nice to know there's an Aussie contingent here.

Bernadette (bern_loves) | 15 comments Hi everyone! I'm Bernadette, I'm from Melbourne and I'm a lawyer. When I started uni 6.5 years ago, I stopped reading for fun, but I've decided to change that and stumbled by chance onto Goodreads! I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with reading, and what better way than the Spring Challenge :)

Benjamin Mitchell (bgmitchell) | 11 comments Hi everyone. Nice to 'Goodread' meet ya! My name is Ben (Benjamin Grant Mitchell). I am an author—and reader—from Melbourne. My favourite Aussie writer is probably Tim Winton, though I know there are many more for me to discover and I’m sure this group will help me on that one.

I have just published my second novel, Zippin Pippin. Zippin Pippin is a romantic comedy road-trip about Elvis’s long lost—Down Under—son. I’m still finding my feet on Goodreads but I have figured out how to run a giveaway. So please sign up for that if you are interested in winning a signed copy of Zippin Pippin.

Ta,
Ben

message 3426: by Kazza (new)

Kazza (kazzak) Hello, my name is Kazza, I live in Sydney, and I am an avid reader. I also review books on GR and on my site. I've read a lot of books over the years, in many genres. Now, I mostly read erotica, and grittier, darker, psychological reads, interspersed with a good, light read. I will read anything that looks/sounds good to me. I'm an open reader with a love of the escapism, fun, and enjoymment that books provide.

Cheers!

message 3434: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Wray Hi I'm Melissa. I live in Geelong, Victoria. My favourite Aussie author is Bryce Courtenay. Actually he would be my favourite author of all. I was so sad to hear this years book will be his final release due to illness.
I love getting swept away in a good read and at the moment am hooked in the YA genre but will read anything really!

Thanks Dale. Quiet a few years ago a friend gave me a copy of The Riders and I became an instant fan. Looking forward to seeing what Sam Worthington does with his part in the upcoming film version. Sure he'll be great.
