G'day mate! Now this seems like a challenge I could handle. I have I Am the Messenger in my TBR pile, and I like the work of Geraldine Brooks. I may need to join this one. :)
Thanks for joining me in this reading challenge Mel u. I look forward to sharing reviews, and hope I'm able to uncover some more great Australian authors for you in the process!
PS: I just love your blog header picture.
Suko-glad to see you joined this challenge and I am very interested to see how you will react to I am the Messenger
Booklover Book Reviews-I really like your challenge badge-I hope to learn about some more Australian Authors-I am very happy as I have a number of people from Australia who visit my blog on a regular basis
Wow, another challenge that you'd be participating in and one that would make me keep coming back to your blog for your reviews! Good luck on this challenge, Mel!
May I suggest something -- Steve Toltz's A Fraction of the Whole. It was shortlisted for the Booker Prize last year. I think I bought my copy at PowerBooks.
Hey! I've joined this challenge as well :-)
If you're looking for ideas...one of my favourite books of 2009 was Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey (a young Western Australian novelist).
Looking forward to sharing reviews with everyone!
Check out Melina Marchetta NS John Marsden.
One of my favourite Australian books is Tim Winton's "The Riders" I have read many of his other books since and still like The Riders the best. Some of his other titles give more of an Australian sense of place (for instance the more recent "Breath" is a wonderful coming of age surfing story) but for pure story telling brilliance I reckon start with The Riders.
