Ooh Thai sounds like a great challenge - can I join (a bit late!)

I need to read more local books so hopefully this challenge will help! I’m in.

I managed to read the highest level with 33 books read... missed 3 male Aussie authors. Was still a fun challenge!

Please add me in. I’ll work out my series I need to finish tonight.

Three books left for this challenge - all Aus make authors. Might have to find a few small books ;) ;)

Congrats!!!

Thanks, just checking. :-)

Oh wait? Have I got this all wrong? Do the new releases not have to be by Australian authors? Lauren Oliver is American.

My Top 5 are all YA:

Tin Heart Shivaun Plozza
Untidy Towns Kate O'Donnell
Inbetween Days Vikki Wakefield
Lifel1k3 Jay Kristoff
Take Three Girls Cath Crowley Fiona Wood Simmone Howell

Very impressed!

Just finished Tin Heart by Shivaun Plozza. Contemporary YA - fabulously written. A real tear jerker. I just love her voice. Out March 2018 PRH.

I only link you to your post when you've said you'll join Marie - so I'll link post #326, which means you'll need to edit that one with your book..."
