Brenda - Franklin - Dabbler
I really want to read Five Bells too as pasrt of my dabbling beyond crime fiction
I've wanted to read it for most of this year, and haven't got around to it, so good excuse to include in this challenge:)
I heard her speak at MWF and I have meant to add her to my TBR list ever since!
That would have been good:) We both have no excuses now;)
Thanks for including my book, Brenda. My warm fuzzy for the day! :)
Katie, that's my pleasure! Thank YOU for putting it out there for us all:)
A bit slow catching up with the email traffic, but very touched to see you have included my book, Brenda. Hope you enjoy it!Alison Stuart
You'll enjoy Cherry Pie - I have had the pleasure of meeting Leigh and she is the nicest person. Zany and out there but impish sense of humour.
Oh you lucky thing:) That would be wonderful! I chose this one because of the Summer challenge, the food one, and a recommendation from David. Now I have it here, from the library, but I'm saving it for January:)
Won't be long now and we'll be able to get stuck into this challenge:)
I have finished my first for the challenge Past the Shallows by Favel Parrett. Loved it..review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
golly Brenda it's only 3 January and you've already done 2 books, putting the rest of us to shame ;)
Making the most of some 'spare' time Bernadette;)
Have finished my third one A Bella Street Mystery: The Secret Formula by Clare Havens. My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Also 'A Bella Street Mystery: Doc Gutson's Revenge' by Clare Havens review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I've just added 7 more books to my list:)
Some great books you have on your list Brenda. The Precipice, Me and Mr Booker, Red Queen and Desert Fish…I’ve read all 4 and they are simply amazing :)
Oh that's good news Mish, thanks:) Will get the last 3 from the library, but own the first!

Thanks Elizabeth! I'm a read-a-holic as I read as often as I can, and usually only take a couple of days to read a book, sometimes 3 if it's a bit longer!
Mod
So I'm discovering! :)
You're a brilliant readaholic! I'm going to indulge by exploring your list of challenge books.
Gosh you are getting through the AWW books fast, well done! I've been adding a lot of books to my TBR shelf from your reviews :-)

I have just finished Granville: A Mother's Grief. My review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I have completed my challenge of 10 to read, but will be continuing on throughout the year with the books in my list above...possibly adding more as I go.I have loved it so far, and have read quite a few authors I've not read before, with lots more to go!
I've found a few new authors as well. I haven't quite finished my goal but like you will keep on going once I do :)
It's awesome isn't it!! I haven't read this many Aussie authors EVER!!! I love the diversity of it all:)
