B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Hello all, I'm Bette. I've just discovered Goodreads and am really enjoying it. So glad I found this group!

I just started Reconstructing Amelia by Kimerbly McCreight and can't put it down. The girl at Collins Booksellers recommended it and I was a bit dubious because she was about 20 years younger than me! But I love it; I want to find out the outcome but I don't want it to end.

message 4107: by Tara (new)

Tara L | 1 comments Hi every one - I'm Tara, live in Perth and also just discovered Goodreads.

I've been an avid reader my whole life, in the last few years mostly non-fiction. I'm about to go back to uni, so have been reading up on things that might be relevant.

Can't wait to explore some good fiction as well, though, it's been so long since I read fiction I'm out of the loop!

Loretta Laird | 8 comments Hi, I ma Loretta Laird and I am very excited about my up and coming book on Steam eReads. It is a romantic/fantasy called The Passers and is like Lord of the Rings meets Lady Chatterley's Lover! Look out for it in June!

Welcome Bette, Tara and Loretta! Lovely to have you with us:)


Maureen aka The Scribbly Bark Poet Clifford (TheScribblyBarkPoet) G'day - Just joined the group and looking forward to some friendly interaction with like minded people. I live in SE Queensland, am now retired and have just released my first Ebook, and am currently working on the next one.

I am also an avid reader and have enjoyed the opportunity here to review some of my favourite reads - I had no idea one was able to do that - I'm on a learning curve, and it is great to see what other people think about books as well.

If you would like to see a bit more about what rows my boat you can check out my blog site here

http://scribblybarkpoetry.blogspot.co...

I am passionate about this country and love reading stories written about it by Australian authors, and if the story has got dogs and horses in it chances are it will go into my top ten list :)

Cheers

Maureen
The Scribbly Bark Poet

message 4114: by Anthony (new)

Anthony Karakai | 4 comments Hi everyone,

My name's Anthony, I'm an Australian author and I'm addicted to reading. Just when I thought my shelf couldn't fit any more books, someone invented the eBook reader. Brilliant.

I'm from Melbourne and love to travel. It's my dream someday to write a book that will put Australia on the map- the rugged coastlines, the beach vibe, the laid back demeanour of coastal living. I don't think it's stated as much, so one day I would like to deliver that truth to a global audience.

Anything surreal, magical realism, philosophical, travel related or Harlan Coben, I'm a fan.

Dale Harcombe | 6949 comments Welcome Bette,Loretta, Maureen, Tara and Anthony.I write poetry, not bush poetry though, as a well as fiction Maureen.


Maureen aka The Scribbly Bark Poet Clifford (TheScribblyBarkPoet) Oh I'll forgive you for that Dale - I dabble in free verse, short stories and Haiku as well, though rhyming poetry in the Bush Poetry style is my strong suit.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Looking forward to being a part of this group


Maureen aka The Scribbly Bark Poet Clifford (TheScribblyBarkPoet) Thank you Brenda and Michael for the welcome - its great to be here

Cheers

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) I'm Liam and I'm typing this up while at the library on a thursday night. I work here, and it's not exactly a busy night.

I like sci-fi and fantasy predominantly, but I try my eye at most things. I also vaguely want to write but haven't really done anything to make that happen other than scribbling stories on notepaper during quiet shifts. :P

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Thanks Mish, Brenda and Michael for the welcome. I'm interested to see what everyone else is reading at the moment.
As for me, I seem to have drifted into some 'light' reading these past few weeks. But I am getting inspiration for seeing your reviews.

Pascale Delaisse (crazypascale) | 6 comments Hi Everyone. I live in Perth and work full time but love to read good books.

Just discovered this amazing website and like the idea of recording what you read, not only for your own personal record but it also gives you advice what to read next. And on top of that, I love talking about interesting books which is what you do here too.
