Merry Christmas to all our wonderful members in the Aussie Readers group - from your moderator team


We hope you all have a relaxing, safe and happy Christmas.... Spend as much time as possible with your families, friends and loved ones.... Eat, drink and be merry!





May your Christmas sparkle with moments of love, laughter & goodwill, and may the year ahead be full of contentment & joy.

Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year (and make sure you slip in some reading time as well!!)

I'd like to add a huge THANK YOU to every one of our fabulous moderators in this awesome Group. You have created some terrific challenges this year and I know without your efforts creating challenges my book tally would be a lot less (and nowhere near as fun)!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Here's to lots of 5 star reading in 2022! ♥♥♥

Thanks Angela. I think we have as much fun creating the challenges as we do doing them!

Merry Christmas everyone. :-)

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope we all get some time to relax and enjoy our family and friends.

Many thanks Angela - and what Phrynne says :)

Merry Christmas and best holiday wishes to all my fellow readers. Thank you 🙏 Brenda and Phrynne for all the work you guys put in throughout the year to make this such a great group (and the Aussie Crime group as well). Also thanks to all the people who join in the challenges and give their ratings - my TBR will never reduce in size thanks to you guys 😂.

Yes indeed, a happy and safe Christmas for Brenda and all our Aussie readers and thanks to the moderators, even if some of us , like me, never tackle the challenges.i know others enjoy them.

Challenges aren't the only thing Dale! You are a constant book reviewer and commenter in the group and you are missed when your name doesn't pop up regularly!

Merry Christmas, and many thanks to our moderators!

Thank you very much moderators for the hard work you put in to this group and thinking up the fun challenges. The book reviews are great, and really enjoy reading them. It is interesting to see what is being read and also new releases expected.
Hope everyone enjoys the holidays and those who are waiting test results are able to be with their family. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Merry Christmas to every one. Thanks to Brenda and Phrynne for another wonderful year of Aussie Readers, one of the best groups on Goodreads!

Thanks for your kind words Odette and Janelle :) I hope in return, you both have a lovely festive season and let's hope 2022 is better than the last 2 have been....

🎄 Merry Christmas to all Aussie readers! Wishing everyone also a very bright, happy & healthy 2022!! 🕯
🎉 Cheers 🥂

Thanks Anne, and to you :) Stay safe over there and let's hope 2022 is a better year than the last two have been!!

Merry Christmas to our wonderful mods and thanks for everything you do for us. Wishing everyone here a wonderful Christmas and hopefully a very happy New Year!

Sorry I’ve been absent of late and missed a lot of messages. I hope everyone is ok and looking forward to being able to spend Christmas with family once again…ironically I will be having the luxury of not having to cater this year lol! Yay, doing Boxing Day lunch instead. So Christmas will be a lovely peaceful time for us, just catching up with friends and family at intervals, so my cooking skills have been busy making edible gifts instead…so much more fun!
I wish you all, each and every one of you and yours, a very happy and safe Christmas with lots of love and laughter 🤗🥂🎄⭐️

*A big thank you to our mods for making this forum possible and keeping it fun 🤗

Merry Christmas everyone, have a great day and may Santa bring you some good books!

Thanks guys! Merry Christmas to you all, and thanks for helping to make our group great!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope Santa showers us all with books, books, and more books!

It's Christmas Day!

Here in Sydney the sun is shining, the birds are singing and it has the makings of beautiful day. Santa has been and I can see at least one present is book shaped:)

Have a perfect day everyone!!!

That’s very exciting Phrynne. I’ll bet you can’t wait to open it 🐬 🐬 🐬

Merry Christmas everyone, I am off to my daughters or lunch and catching up with sisters and grandkids should be a great day.

Stay safe and have fun

Merry Christmas to all. Just gearing up for breakfast and waiting for our daughter to arrive.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, gets lots of books or Kobo/Amazon vouchers as gifts and all the best for 2022, especially to our wonderful moderators Brenda and Phrynne who continue to do an amazing job each year. xxxxx

Have a lovely day!

Wishing our intrepid moderators Brenda and Phrynne, who always challenge, motivate and entertain us, a wonderful Christmas 🌲🌲 and to all of you here in this great Aussie Readers group, may Christmas bring joy and a chance to relax with family and friends, with a book or two waiting to be opened.

Merry Christmas,
big thankyou to our moderators I love the challenges and appreciate all the hard work and to everyone who posts a review. I find it very useful in finding new authors and being here in Singapore for knowing when Aussie authors have new books.

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a wonderful day. Thanks Brenda and Phrynne for all you do for the group.

Stay safe everyone.

Thanks everyone! Hope you're all relaxed after a huge lunch of more food and drink than you eat and drink any other time of the year ;) Enjoy the rest of your day and make sure you continue on tomorrow, Boxing Day :) Merry Christmas everyone!!

A very happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year to all fellow group members from here in a dull and overcast UK, brightened by knowing that I can now plan for the coming year's Challenges thanks to the several books from Santa's sleigh (see Recent Acquisitions thread!) and a voucher from Amazon.

Thanks also to Brenda and Phrynne for the great Challenges during 2020 and all their guidance and attention to detail.

Best wishes from Kim (UK) (aka kimborams)

Merry Christmas Aussie Readers! Hope you've all had a wonderful day. We've not had our dinner yet here in Scotland but have opened presents and happy there were a few books there!
Time for a wee Bucks Fizz. Best wishes, Fi

Be safe, be well, and everyone, have a
