Wonderful guide. I just discovered your site and had to tell you that I have for sure had much fun looking through your web site. I have became a subscriber to your feed and I hope you are going to post again ASAP. I am curious if I should really subscribe to comments feed too. Any useful conversations happening in comments?

L'Aussie says
I've just put up my third review, The Forgotten Garden, by Kate Morton. Sorry for two Mr Linky posts, but it said it failed the first time, so when I fixed it up, voila, there's two!
L'Aussie says
I've just put up review no 3, The Forgotten Garden, a wondrous book by Kate Morton..:)
Dutchie says
I don't know what happened but the URL I put (the Chasers one) didn't work for some reason. I think the Mr Linky got mixed up so the link isn't going anywhere.
Dutchie says
Just read my last book for the challenge (Chasers by James Phelan) and it was a great one to finish with. I'll post my completion post in a few days.
L'Aussie says
I've just put up my second review, The Spare room by Helen Garner. I'd better keep moving, six to go!
I've read heaps more but haven't done reviews..:)
L'Aussie says
Hi. I've just put up my first review, Breath, by Tim Winton. I know I'd better get moving on this but I have read the books and hope to post a review every week til I'm done.
Thanks for hosting. What a marvellous idea. Who knew there were so many great Aussie authors – we did!
It'll be great to wade through the reviews..:)
Tony says
Eight read for 2010 but…
…only four authors!!!
Still one to go ;)
NancyO says
Back with Parrot and Olivier in America, by Peter Carey. That makes 3 for me, but I'm going all the way! Thanks again..this is fun!
Tony says
Seven down, one to go :)
NancyO says
how silly. I posted my name, but not my book title: "Murdering Stepmothers," by Anna Haebich. That would be me at #112.
lamellae says
Oops, I just posted a 6th review but Mr Linky is pointing to my 5th review! sorry about that. Some days I'm a dill.
Tony says
Just discovered this challenge! So far in 2010, I've read six books by three Aussie authors, so I should meet the eight by five target soon ;)

Teddyree says
Posted review for my first book in this challenge Cold Justice by Katherine Howell – 5 star read!!
lamellae says
I know 3 isn't much compared to many participants but as I don't read much fiction I'm feeling pleased. :) It's certainly going to keep me on the lookout for Aussie authors this year.
Amy-The Black Sheep Dances says
This is so fun…I have four down so far. I've put the reviews above.
My four completed are After the Fire, A Still Small Voice; Things We Didn't See Coming; Eucalyptus; and The Great Fire.
Great stuff!

5. Joe Wilson and His Mates by Henry Lawson
6. Ransom by David Malouf
7. Appo, Recollections of a Member of the Sydney Push by Richard Appleton

I'd love to organise an Aussie Book Bloggers convention like the one they're having in America. There seems to be enough of us… would anyone else be interested?

Kerrie says
I'm keeping a record of my progress in these posts
anzlitlovers says
Progress so far:
1. Brief Encounters by Susannah Fullerton
2. Searching for the Secret River by Kate Grenville – a non-fiction title, so it doesn't weave the same magic as Grenville's novels but very interesting all the same.
anzlitlovers says
My first Aussie book for this challenge is Brief Encounters by Susannah Fullerton, a lovely choice for any booklover whether doing an armchair trip or travelling within Australia. See my review at http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/brief-encounters-by-susannah-fullerton/
