Australian Women Writers Challenge discussion

Hi everyone, this is my first year I will be aiming to review 10 AWW books. Look forward to sharing with you all.

Welcome Justine, and good luck:)

Thank you Brenda.

Finished my first book for the year. 'Madeleine: A life of Madeleine St John'. I will add a review when I figure out how to add the link here.

Madeleine: A Life of Madeleine St John by Helen Trinca

When you write your review and click on "save" it will take you to your review in a box.

Justine's reviews > Madeleine: etc...., cover pic on LHS, review in the box below. Highlight the url at the top of the page (above the "goodreads etc" logo) and copy, then paste where you want it to go...

I hope that makes sense:)

This is the link for my review for 'Madeleine: A life of Madeleine St. by Helen Trinca. John'.https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Hi everyone,

I just finished reading a fabulous, fun read by Chrissie Swan. He is a link to my review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
A great laugh but not a serious read.

This review is for Mary Poppins by P L Travers. I was told today that this author would count for AWW but I thought I would post anyway. Not sure why this person thought this. My short review is at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Hope everyone is enjoying their reads. :)

P. L. Travers does qualify for the AWW challenge as far as I know Justine. I did some research and put her details into her profile. She was born in Australia so she's definitely an Aussie:)

Thank you Brenda. I thought so too. I was think maybe she said it because she was no longer alive.

Well Shelleyrae would have to adjudicate on that point as I'm not sure Justine:) Maybe leave putting your review into the AWW14 system until she lets us know.

The whole point is that she is an Aussie author, when she is still with us or not...

That would rule out a lot of the Classics and the authors who wrote them ie Stella Miles Feanklin!

Thank you Debbie. I thought that also. I wanted to read a mix of genres including classics. Take myself out of my normal pattern of reading. Can you tell me is what I am doing by adding my reviews correct, by just putting the link on this thread? Am I suppose to put the link anywhere else? You have a wonderful Sunday. :)

I assume you are adding your reviews to the challenge website? That is the main place to link them, here: http://australianwomenwriters.com/201... I'm not sure you are adding them there but that's the NUMBER ONE spot for recording your reviews for the challenge.

And of course Travers counts. She's Australian - even if at times she denied it! Whether they are alive or dead, or lived overseas, if they were born here and grew up here, they count. Trickier to define are the writers who weren't born here and who only spent their childhoods/youth here.

Thank you so much sue. I will post my reviews tonight. :)

Great Justine ... we want you there!

Way to go Justine!
