I am with you there; nothing like a new book. Used books are good too, especially well thumbed ones because you get the idea that others have read and hopefully loved the book.

Mmmm walking into a bookshop....like coming home!
Hey Diane just noticed ur last message number 5555 ....bit of trivia: The number 5 is pronounced as "ha" in the thai language, so basically 5555 translates to hahahaha. A happy message!

[Dale]

Most of my reading comes from the library. In our library certain people tag books they have read with their initials or a certain symbol on the end cover. Librarians even encourage it by adding an extra piece of paper inside for this. The result is if I see certain initials it will give me an indication I might like that book too. It's a bit like recommending a book here at Goodreads.

What a wonderful piece of trivia Julie..lovely to turn something into "happy"!!

I love Archives Fine Books in Brisbane CBD. That place gives me chills. I walk in and my eyes tear up. Has been like that since I was about 6

It was a happy message:-) I did explore Glebe today. Love the bookstores there! And the coffee! I will try to get down to Newtown in the next few weeks.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Yes Brenda and Diane, apparently In the same way as we say Lol...a lot of Asian people will write 5555. So if you get an email or message with 5555 featured randomly within, you can take it to mean "Lol".
Lol :-D

"Snap" Diane!! ;-))

Hiya everyone!
My name is Kerry I am a 36 year old crazy cat lady! I have 4!
I love reading and will give any genre a go, especially if a friend recommends it. I read on my tablet but love the feel of a real book too.
I also love craft: Knitting and cross stitch mostly. Oooh I love gardening too, but not in this cold wintry weather.
Nice to be part of this group. =)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Kerry! Great to have you with us:) I'm 100% positive you will find other cat lovers here to join you;)

I wish I could be a crazy cat person. Only got the one :(

[E.J.]

Hi, Kerry. Welcome.

[Natasha]

Hi everyone,
Not a great deal to say...I enjoy reading and love nothing more than to fall deeply into books, I tend to go through phases where I will not be pulled away from a book to barely making it to the end (am I the only one?). I don't have many "hobbies" reading being the biggest one, currently I am in a *do not disturb* mode with my books. When im not reading I will be studying or looking after my pets...that's it boring me. I enjoy coffee...lots of coffee, traveling (not that I have ever), animals and of course BOOKS! :)

[Jillian]

Hi everyone
not sure who sent me this invite, will be interesting to see what your reading down under!

[Carol]

Hi everyone, just found this group. Have been a mad book reader all my life and never joined a book club before. Was always hesitant about being told what I had to read. Even though I read most everything (except romance or westerns). I am retired, and live on the Central Coast NSW - so have plenty of time to read!! Bought myself a tablet too so now I can get eBooks, audio books or "real" books !!

[Michael]

Welcome Carol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Carol, lovely to have you with us:) We will never tell you what to read! We have various challenges on the go all the time, and you can choose whether you join in or not. Plus you get to choose your book for the different categories as well!

[Sharon]

Hi Carol, welcome to the group :)
