Sally906 | 893 comments Hi there my name is Sally and I am from Australia - I am an eclectic reader - but Romance is among my highest percentage of books read. I've recently discovered Australian rural lit and lapping it up!

I also have a slight weakness for reading challenges, so...
Voila here I am :)

..."


Novels by women for women set in the rural/outback areas of Australia and all the hardships (and joys) that come with living in small communities or on isolated properties. Women who live in the wide open spaces have the same problems as city women when it comes to relationships - except they're running farms, or assisting in running the farms.

Welcome Kate! You just named two of my favourite series. The In Death series is particularly good in audio if you read that way as well.

MountainKat | 31805 comments Welcome Sally and Kate! I hope you have as much fun here as I do!

Kate, those are two of my favorite series too! I'm currently listening to Betrayal in Death =)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Welcome to the group Kate & Sally! Great to have you with us :)

I haven't yet read a Rachael Treasure etc book - I see them everywhere in the shops but haven't yet dipped my toe ;)

I agree with Kat & Tania - in Death in audio is great!!!

message 1573: by Dani (new)

Dani  (yogidani) | 56 comments Hi all, I'm Dani. I absolutely love reading, and romances make me happy. There's so many books I want to read and so little time! I'm currently listening to Lover Reborn on audiobook as it makes my commute to work less stressful. I'm so excited to meet everyone and jump into challenges. (I'm kind of obsessed with lists)


message 1574: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24353 comments Hey Dani - welcome to the group! I'm a huge audio listener as well. I drive a LOT and I agree - you chill out whilst listening to a book. Traffic jams just don't seem so bad ;)

Good luck with the challenges!

Dani  (yogidani) | 56 comments Thank you Jane and MountainKat! I'm very excited to be here. And yes, suddenly I don't mind so much when there's a wreck on the interstate and my commute goes from 20 minutes to 50. Although my boss does.....

Newby here. Just joined, excited to look around, and see what everyone else is reading right now. Hooked on romance of any kind, like the para but love the military ones also.
