The Aussie Swap discussion

Here is my list of books to swap.

Hi Braiden, your list isn't open to public meaning I can't view it :)

^^ what Lisa said. :)
And we have a guy!?! YES! I don't know any male aussie bloggers. Win.

YAY! Token Boy :D hehehe

Your blog is awesome and your list *drools*

W00t! Finally Braiden you make an appearance.

And Sas, Braiden isn't a guy. Though yeah he's the same age as us. He turned 18 last month. ;)

Um...lots of paranormal. I'll let someone else swoop in haha.

Wha? I'm so confused!!

Braiden isn't a guy but you just called Braiden a "he"? I'm very confused, and I think it's safe to say that I'm the youngest blogger here :P

That's why I'm confused, haha.

Oh sorry. I didn't finish the thought.

Revised comment:
"And Sas, Braiden isn't a "guy". :P"

But yeah he is, kind of. Hahaha.

um....okay Cass, I know what you're talking. He's not a guy, he's a "guy" yup got it.

...
...
...

I lied I don't get it.

Um Braiden, if you're out there... Want to clarify? Haha :)

Hahaha. Sorry. He's kind of a guy?

I'm just kidding around. I see him as more of a man-boy, much in the same way that Briony sees Eldric in Chime .

I haven't read the book, so I still don't know what you mean :/

HAHAHAHA this is the most confusingly hilarious conversation ever.

Haha that's okay. I can't say what I mean without feeling like a jerk. And that's SO not my intention.

Anyway, anyone want Braiden's books? Haha.

I can't view them - they're on private. :P

OMG guys! I had work today (ushering for the matinee [hairspray] - double pay on sundays <3 $40/hr - love my life!).

Thanks for making my checkup on goodreads that enjoyable :)

How do I turn it on public? i’m such a newbie haha.

And Cass I turn 18 on Thursday :) And I am a guy, just look more boyish-guy-then-bigger-man-boy-whatever-that-freaking-means-male.

Haha, we'll I'm 18 and I look like I'm... well not. I work at a restaurant and people ask me all the time how old I am. It usually proceeds like this:

Randoms: How old are you?
Me: 18...
Randoms: O.O Really?
Me: Um... yeah... I'm going to go get your food now... :S

$40/hr!! I wish my pay was that nice. :(

Top right hand corner, next to your name and the little icon is an arrow. Press it and then click 'my account'. When that loads, scroll down and on the right hand side it should say 'who can view my profile' change it to 'goodreads members'. :)

And now that I can see your books - you interested in swapping for Intertwined? I don't know if you want anything from my shelf (it's totally fine if you don't!) but take a peek. :)

Well, newbie Braiden, first you go into your accounts and then somewhere you will see something about making Profile public, I don't think you can just make a shelf public ( dunno) so you'll have to make your profile public. OR just friend me =) ( I'm really not that weird, ask Sas or Cass *your names rhyme guys*)

BTW, I went and checked out your blog right and I made a comment on your IMM but it was the wrong one it's like #21 or something sorry:/

Haha Lisa no problems, and thanks Sas I didn’t really pay attention to the right side of that page.

If you had January for Conspiracy 365 I would’ve swapped it :p heard great things about that series but haven’t read it. BUT if you want Intertwined I can send it to you. I had bought the HC of it a few weeks after I bought PB because I didn’t like the font in the PB. But yeah hit me up with your address and I’ll send it if you want and I’ll wait to see if anything pops up on your list.

I just came home from a dinner withf riends, telling em all how the past few days its been so fun hanging out on GR.. hehe now they all plan to join lol

YES, more members! Win for us!!

Ah Braiden, you're lovely! Thank you! I'll PM you. :)

You should get into marketing Kylie...hardcore - totally off topic, going to see Red Riding Hood tomorrow!

Oh haha. I think it's too late to be thinking. I swear I thought I already wished you a happy birthday. Glad you understood what I was trying to say about that man-boy effect. LOL!

Lisa, who said you were weird? I'd say you have a more bubbly and young (a good thing i guess) online personality. :) Red Riding Hood was, eh, okay. You'll love whats-his-face, the guy in the dark clothes. I know you're a sucker for those bad boy types. ;)

Kylie! Yay for word of mouth! And Braiden, $40 an hour for Sunday? Sweetness. Hope uni's going well for you.

You're not a weirdo! Trust me, it takes one to know one and I am most definitely weird. :)

hahaha! well I wanst trying to sell, we were talking about what we got up to on the weekend and I was like "Good Reads Addiction grew" and explained and yeah HAHAHA

I wanna see Red Riding Hood!!!

Have all you guys check out http://www.insideadog.com.au ?

Aussie YA GR :p

The word “guys” returns!

o0o0o0o! I never saw this site before! Sooo cool!

@ Cass - That's why i want to go see it!!! GOD he looks so HOT ;) I AM young =) Not that young but younger than you old ppl, don't start drink driving!

@ Braiden - I recieved a press release email about it!

@ Kylie - Yer, screw whatever you're doing and start marketing

@Sas - You're not weird :/ AT ALL ( nah kidding, you're not)

haha! sounds more fun this my uni course this semester... I am sooo not into it AT ALL

I’m loving my uni course haha...I’m so going to do a PhD in Psychology and then a Major in Sociology. I can already see that happening only after 6 weeks of my first year.

Sociology is interesting because although we study the present and not the future I can see so many things and relate our society to those I read about in dystopian societies.

This is my 5th year at uni... and my second degree.. I am in such a funk atm! I think I just need my Europe trip to come

I'm a first year doing a BA with a major in Writing. It's okay... But I don't actually do any writing subjects so... Philosophy is awesome though!

Oh, and Inside a Dog is awesome! I need to post some reviews on there!

I did a world politics and a european politics subject in my arts degree! they were surprisingly AWESOME

would you be interested in swapping Hunger by Jackie kessler with anything on my list

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

its cool if you dont...

xx

I've seen insideadog sooo many times, and I've never bothered to register. Someone convince me, please. :P

Well I've handed in my 2nd assignment for B. Nursing. I'm enjoying uni so far, though I've gotten a bit lazy as of late.

Yeah I’ve gotten a bit lazy lately too. I feel like I don’t need to go to some of my Physiology lectures like 2 of the 3 i have in a week.

@Nikki Is that the Valiant cover you own?

Braiden wrote: "@Nikki Is that the Valiant cover you own?"

oh no i put the wrong cover i have the one with the sword. sorry

Did you want to swap for that?

By the way I have some awesome books on my swap list because I have doubles as in, just say wicked lovely and ink exchange, I have the UK hardcovers which I love better so yeah. I guess I could add The Mortal Instruments and Clockwork Angel because I have both Paperbacks (which I’ve read from originally) and the hardcovers which I bought late last year for Cassie Clare signing next month. So I could put the paperbacks on.

Wahhhh Cassie Clare's coming to Australia, what other authors am I missing out on? I only know that Rachel Caine is coming to Aus O_O

Well this month there’s a thing happening at State Library of Victoria which is $400 with Lucy Christopher, Melina Marchetta, Cassie Clare, Justine Larbalestier I believe.....but then Cassie Clare also has an event on May 25th in Northcote, Melbourne which I’ve booked in to attend (go to www.readings.com.au events page).

But I also know that Maria V. Snyder will be coming around August, Kristin Cashore I’ve just heard today is coming to Australia. And yeah...

Wow really so many American authors! I gte to meet australian authors every year at the Celebration of Lit so that's no biggie but I really want to meet Cassie Clare, god, that lady can write! Too bad it's in melbourne, didn't they just host some zombie vs. unicorn thing with David LEvithan in Sydney? Queenslanders always miss out :/

I heard Richelle Mead is coming to Australia but it might just be a rumor ;/

Oops that panel thing for $400 is in May too* woops. It’s on the State Library of Vic What’s On page on the website.

I want to go to the author signing for Kristin Cashore in (May) Sydney!! :D Maybe some fellow Sydneysiders can join me. Haha though I haven't read Graceling or Fire. But I've never met an author before. Also heard about Cassie Clare, whose books I also haven't read. I think it's awkward if I go to a book signing to sign a couple books that I still haven't read yet. :P
