Australian Women Writers Challenge discussion

Hope to accomplish my goal of six reviews this year, have set up blog http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo... to place my reviews on.

My first title was Belinda Alexandra's White Gardenia http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo...

Loved book number two Tina Arena's memoir Now I can dance! head to my review at http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo...

Might have to keep my eye out for that one Jenny - I've enjoyed seeing her back in the spotlight. Such a humble person.

Well, have finally done it. Have read a Phryne Fisher mystery Murder and Mendelssohn by Kerry Greenwood. Head to http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo... for my review.

Finished Hopetoun wives by Fran Cusworth. Enjoyed it the end, read by review at http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo...

I'm looking forward to reading that one Jenny - I read her new books Sisters of Spicefield - enjoyed that book

Yes, have that one on my list too. It is also one of the State Library of Victoria Summer Read titles.

Loved, loved the Book of Lost Threads by Tess Evans. A book shared with others through book club on my second read. Gorgeous book, just gorgeous. My review is http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo...

Have fallen In love again with Tamara McKinley after reading her latest Firestorm. A great page turner, thoroughly enjoyed it and perfect to spend a day or two over Easter with. Have added my comments on my blog. A did rate this one four out of five and will be going back to read the ones I have missed of hers. http://storiesandmusicreflections.blo...

I love Tamara's books -when I first discovered her I read a whole heap in a row - I have her new ones but haven't had a chance to read them yet - looking forward to it

Yes Bec I will be making sure I go back and read the ones I have missed. Hope you enjoy Firestorm too. Cheers

This was a great book - my mum pinched it off me as soon as I brought it and read it first - then I had to stop her from telling me all the good bits before I read it!

Thanks Bec, I read the Rachael Treasure one as an eBook and kept wanting to find the 'share' button to share all the good thoughts and statements.
It will be a book I have another look at for sure.

Do you put your reviews on GR too Jenny?

Hi Brenda,
Sometimes I do write reviews on Goodreads, This year I am enjoying writing on the blog though, I also share my reviews on a private facebook reading group.

Would you be able to copy and paste them to GR too? I enjoy reading everyone's reviews on GR:)

Not a problem Brenda, will do :-)

Thanks Jenny:)
