The way we look at it Patrizia - either they were born in Australia and now live elsewhere OR they were born elsewhere and now live in Australia. Either way we call them Aussie authors ;) Happy reading!

5. I'll Have What She's Having by Bobbie Houston

Congrats, Susan!

I’m starting out with scrabble day: Butterfly by V.C. Andrews. Hopefully I’ll finish it soon and update.

I have 36 pages to go on my third book for the month and..
Grumble..l the Nook needs to be charged a bit before I can finish. Time to unlimber the Kindle so I can work on another of my books for the month while the Nook charges up.

You can't read the nook while it's charging Gary? I find that I'm able to do that with my kindle :)

I’ve read on my Nook while charging, but it does depend on how close you are to an outlet and how long your cord is.

On my fourth book for the challenge, a non-cozy. Have a day off, and it’s a good day for staying in and reading. We had summer Mon (70F), spring Tuesday (60F), back to winter rest of the week with 1.7 inches snow yesterday and freezing rain and high winds today. I want the 70-degree temps back!

Depends where I am. If I can sit close enough to the outlet I can. Not always possible but now that weather has improved I can sit on the back porch next to an outlet. My current charger cord is shorter than I like.

It is a shame they don't make the charger cords longer :(

I have had a couple of 5 foot charger cords from Wal-Mart in recent years but they must sell out of them frequently.

Back on topic, I finished my third book earlier today.

1: Read a book that revolves around a library, bookmobile or bookstore.
Wrong Side of the Paw by Laurie Cass (04/17)

2. Read a book with a plant in the title or on the cover.

4. Read a book by an author who uses initials in their name.

5. Read a book set in Australia, or written by an Australian author.
Audrey of the Outback by Christine Harris (04/13)

Gary wrote: "I have had a couple of 5 foot charger cords from Wal-Mart in recent years but they must sell out of them frequently."

Try Amazon. I've had really good luck with them. Easy to find what you want with price compares from different merchants. You get the best price and delivered to your door. If you have other articles to shop for making your total order over $35 (in Canada) you get free delivery, also if you subscribe to Prime you get free delivery.

Just finisched!
