Welcome to the group Darren

Welcome Darren, lovely to have you with us:) The main thing to remember with you being an author, is to do your promoting in the Author section, where you've started your new thread, and be a reader in the other threads:)

[Darren]

oops sorry - I got a bit lost in here :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's ok..perhaps you'd like to edit your above post, just to take out the book reference, that'd be great:) Have a browse around the different threads, you'll see lots to interest you as well:)

Hi all!

I joined GR a while back, and have been a member of this group for a little while. Just getting used to the whole thing I forgot to introduce myself.

My names Imogen, also known as Imy.
I'm an avid reader. LOVE my Kindle, maybe a bit too much. Born and bred in Adelaide, and as of a few years ago I now reside in Christchurch, New Zealand.(For the time being anyway). With my partner and 3 year old son.

Having a Kindle I religiously believe in Samples. Don't buy a book without reading the sample. That's my motto :)
Although I have come to realise they can be VERY deceiving. I also love reading and writing reviews!

Thanks for having me :)
Imy

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

Hey, I'm Lee. From Far North Qld. 2 primary school aged children leave me with less time for reading than I would like. Got into goodreads recently when I bought an ereader (I'm completely converted and love my kobo!). I have actually bought a few books from recs here and avoided others I had originally planned to read/buy. This is my first foray into a 'group'! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Lee!Great to have you with us.

[Mish]

Welcome Cassie and Lee.

Welcome Cass and Lee.

[Jeanette]

Hi all,
Thought I'd stop by for a visit.
WA is experiencing lovely sunny days at the moment. Great winter weather here but I'm off to Melbourne in a couple of weeks. Do I need gloves?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Most definitely Jeanette!

[Heather]

Hi,
I'm an Aussie living in Singapore at the moment. I use an ereader - read mostly crime/thrillers. Was home recently and was surprised by how large the difference is what's promoted in Australia compared to here. Just started reading 6 Days, just finished Rip Tide by Stella Rimington. Thinking of reading for my movie book The Handmaid's tale.

6 Days, Rip Tide, The Handmaid's Tale

Welcome to Aussie Readers, it's lovely to have you with us Heather:) Feel free to browse the threads, and it's great to see you are going to join us in the July challenge:)

How long have you been in Singapore, Heather? Your ereader would be very handy over there, as it's not as easy to buy paper books, is it?

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Oh god, Singapore is my favourite place in the world. My dad lived there for most of my childhood, so I used to get to go there on holiday every couple of years. I keep meaning to go back there for a month or two.

[Mish]

Hi Heather, welcome to the group

[Heather]

I've been in Singapore for 18 months. Bookshops tend to be small - Times Square and MPH I've only heard of one independant. The only large seller is Kinokuniya but they can take a long time to sometimes to stock a book and they are expensive. But that could be a real estate thing as I did not find Kinokuniya expensive in Malaysia

[Leisl]

Hi everyone.
My name is Leisl Leighton. I'm fairly new to Goodreads and was encouraged to join some groups and thought this one would be quite good - seems like a friendly bunch of book lovers. Just my type of people. I hope I'm yours too.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Leisl, lovely to have you with us:) Enjoy browsing the threads, I'm sure you'll find lots of new authors to read!

Welcome Heather. Lucky you living in Singapore. I'm living in London and don't find it that easy to find Australian authors, so Goodreads has been a real lifeline for me. Aussie Readers is a great community.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Welcome Leisl!

[Michelle]

Hi. I'm a teacher in Tassie. Moved here four years ago. I recently went down to four days a week and now have time to read! I'm enjoying rereading some of the classics and finding new favourites.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Michelle, lovely to have you in the group!

[Mish]

Welcome Leisl and Michelle. Great to have you both here :)

[Dale]

Hi Heather, Leisl and Michelle. Welcome to the group.

[Amy]

Hi! I'm Amy, from the sunshine coast in Queensland. Work in retail, play in photography & adore books! Good Reads is a new obsession lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Amy, lovely to have you with us:) Goodreads does become an obsession, it's extremely addictive! lol

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Welcome Amy. Enjoy spending the next month or so adding books that you read ten years ago. :P

[KimReads]

Hi, I'm Piksie, over the years prettying travelled everywhere but settled in the UK. After hauling books all around the world and swearing that I couldn't possibly trade in 'the real thing' for an ereader, I succumbed a couple of years back and fell in love with the sheer convenience of it!! My ereader is now the first thing that gets packed whether I'm going out for a few hours or a few days! In fact just the other day I was stood in the checkout at the supermarket and the woman in front of me hauled her kindle out of her bag, so now there's even more places where I can read!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Piksie, lovely to have you with us:) And yes, the ereader is very convenient, that's for sure!

[Amy]

Liam I know!! Everytime I think of a book I have to rush to good reads to add it to my shelf! The only upside is that I refuse to add some of the books I used to read (out of mortifying embarrassment) so it makes for a quicker job! roflol

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

I am slowly exploring the lists and adding books as I go. Sometimes it's difficult to rate them! I just usually remember either hating or loving them.

[Linda]
