Hi Beth, welcome to the group 😊

Hi I'm Shell in North Wales UK. I have never been to Australia, but absolutely love to read Australian books. I listen to the ABC Bookshelf podcast and get lots of ideas from there. But hoping to get even more from this group. I've just downloaded the monthly read for February and am most interested to take part in future discussions. Thank you for having me.

Hi Shell, welcome to the group. Lovely to have you with us.

Hi, I'm Fi and I'm from Scotland but I love everything Australian! Looking forward to getting some new suggestions from this group, reading some more Aussie authors and doing some of the challenges. I'm new to goodreads so I'm still trying to work out how stuff works but I'll get there! :)

Welcome to the group Fi. I bet it's cold in Scotland right now!!

Hi everyone, I'm Jen. I'm in Pennsylvania, USA. I have a friend in Australia and falling in love with the area, especially the thought that it is summer and warm and sunny. I would like to expand my reading and meet more people.

Hi guys!! I'm Simca, a returning reader from Sydney! I haven't read a non-university book in about 5 years and now I can't stop :'). I'd love to connect with other readers in Australia so please feel free to add me or send me a message if you want to chat. x

Welcome to the group Simca! Great to have you with us.

Hi I’m Emma, I’m originally from the UK but have been living in Perth for 5 years now. I used to have loads of time to read it was my favourite thing to do, get lost in a book but haven’t been reading as much as I’d like. I was an active member in another group years ago and always got some great recommendations so I’m hoping for sth similar here and hopefully meet some other book lovers. Thanks for adding me. 😊

Welcome Emma! Lovely to have you with us too 😊
