Staci and Kathy: Thanks!

El Fay: *nods* This is one area of the world I am lacking in…

Sandra: They all sound so good, don’t they?

Booklover Book Reviews: Thanks for hosting!

Whispering Gums: Thanks for the recommendations…The Transit of Venus has been on my radar for awhile so it is good to see you loved it.

Oh that lot Wendy I’d say start with The transit of Venus (wonderful book, wonderful writer) and The idea of perfection. They are all good, but these two writers are often overlooked and well worth giving a go.

Thanks for joining me in this challenge! Our potential Aussie author reading lists have a lot in common actually. I’d like to read The Idea of Perfection by Kate Grenville too, it’s on my wishlist. Titles by Geraldine Brooks, Tim Winton and Richard Flanagan are on my radar also. I read The Year of Wonders by Brooks a few years ago – excellent.

Look forward to sharing reviews!

This is one of my favourite kinds of literature. I’m doing this one too. I loved The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith, Dirt Music, and The Idea of Perfection. I have copies of One Hand Clapping and White Earth, will have to dig them up. Have fun.

I’ve been on the lookout for more Australian and Canadian authors. I’ll keep an eye on what people are reading for this challenge.
