Tim Sweeney Hi everyone, I've just released what early readers say is a "hilarious" travel memoir (and part guide book) that chronicles my 3 years living in Australia. It's called Yank Down Under: A Drink and A Look Around Australia. I'm looking to get some reviews from passionate readers here on Goodreads. To give you an idea of the tone, here's a recent reader review on Amazon: "As a fan of Bill Bryson, I hoped for something similar and this book delivered. Tim is like a younger version of Bill, who stops at a few more pubs and is a little looser with his tongue." Others have told me it's sort of a cross between Anthony Bourdain meets Mike Rowe or a witty comedian. Anyway, looking for reviewers who find this sort of thing interesting. Thank you!

Rebecca (becandthebooks) Hi Tim, I love Bill Bryson. So if it’s a similar vibe I’d be happy to help.

Tim Sweeney Hi Rebecca, Thanks for replying to me. What's the best way to get you a copy. My only fear is you live in the Goldie and that was not my favorite place in AUS. Ha ha.
Thanks again,
Tim

Tim, can I suggest you contact Jazzy and Rebecca by PM (private message)? That way, no one else will see email addresses etc :)

Rebecca (becandthebooks) Hahahaah maybe you only went to the horrible touristy parts 😂 we’ll have to wait and see!

Tim Sweeney I thought the Goldie was a touristy part! Ha ha. I think I have seen more of AUS than most Aussies, but we shall see when the reviews come in. How would i send it to you...pdf or Epub? Do people normally watermark them? Sorry, I don't know the protocol on here yet. But thank you!

Rebecca (becandthebooks) Depends where on the GC you go. Personally I stay at the Southern end, I don't go North of Palm Beach because then you hit the traffic, the tourists and the tacky places (that all tourists love and the locals despise!). I'll message you on IG as I can't figure out how to do that on here.
