To all my loyal readers I would like to announce that Aussie Book Threads is Moving. As you can view I am too spasmodic in blogging book titles, I feel that a website format would suit far better. I can then have lists up and add comments, information and recommendations as time permits. This way you the reader will receive more information. I am very excited about this move. Head over to Aussie Book Threads at its new home at google pages and see what you think. If you would like to pop back over here and leave comments/suggestions I would be most appreciative. Soon hopefully I will work out…

Therese from Aussie Coffee Shop has tagged me for this Christmas Meme. 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper. 2. Real tree or artificial? Artificial. We used to have a real but it was always a stress hoping it would survive until the Epiphany. 3. When do you put up the tree?

We decorate with purple for Advent and on Christmas Eve we will replace the purple with the Christmas decorations. 4. When do you take the tree down? The Feast of the Epiphany. 5. Do you like eggnog? I’ve never had it.…

What sort of Mother are you? Here is an interesting quiz. According to this quiz I fit the ‘Tuned In’ mother profile: Your type is: INFP —The “Tuned In” Mother “Inside our children, I believe, is a truth that tells them what’s best for them. I am always listening for that truth.” * Aware, astute, and understanding, the INFP mother is sensitive to her child’s needs, feelings, and perceptions. By observing and listening to the cues of the whole child, she is “tuned in” and naturally develops an intuitive feel for what he or she needs. Responsive and helpful as well, she tends patiently to those needs as they arise.…

My New Book Blog. After much pondering I have decided to close my ‘Aussie Book Threads’ in its website format and will present the information in blog form. Head over to the new Aussie Book Threads to see what you think. My desire is to present book lovers out there with regular reviews on Australian books, to share our book collection and passion for Australian literature. And I may also from time to time share some of our other favourites. I’m pretty excited about this venture so tell me know what you think. Better yet let me know what type of genre, subject, author or title you would like to…

Anne at Under Her Starry Mantle has tagged me for a meme. Anne very cleverly combined two meme’s and I thought I’d continue in her footsteps:) 4 facts/habits about myself and 4 new things done in the last 4 years. Mmm let’s see…. Firstly 4 Facts/Habits: 1. My ancestor, John Nichols came out to Australia with the First Fleet in 1777 on the Scarborough. He had a history of theft. 2. I never drink coffee and rarely drink tea.

For all those P&P fans out there it may interest you to know that Prince Charming is indeed a Knightley. Now some woman may prefer Mr Darcy however I always admired Knightley so much so that I married him:) MY Knightley however is a good deal more fun than Austen’s. Thanks to my friend Jennifer for a fun quiz. You scored as Knightley, Your husband/boyfriend is most like Mr. Knightley of Emma! He probably gives you kind lectures to help you in certain matters, though he does these out of true devotion and in your best interests. Others look to him for his wisdom and good sense. He is generous…
