I am in for this one as well, mainly out of a sense of national guilt! I don't read any where near enough Aussie authors!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining me in this challenge! I look forward to sharing reviews. I am also thinking of reading something from Grenville, Greenwood and Zusak. I hope to also uncover some of the lesser known but great Aussie authors through my Aussie Author In Focus series of posts.
ReplyDeletemarg - thanks for pointing this out to me.
ReplyDeletebooklover Book Reviews - I read a Greenwood last year, and enjoyed the different time period. And much Zusak love here, so I am excited he might have a new book released this year. I also read The Slap this year- quite a look at modern Australia.
I recommend Ned Kelly by Robert Drewe.
