Booklover Book Reviews is hosting a great challenge featuring Australian authors!
The challenge runs from 1 January 2010 and ends 31 December 2010 and has two different levels: Tourist and Fair Dinkum!
As an Australian, I really should be showing more support for Australian authors. Hence, I am going to aim for the Fair Dinkum level of the challenge. The goal for Fair Dinkum is to read at least eight books by a minimum of five Australian authors. Here is my tentative list of my minimum five Aussie authors:
- John Marsden
- Garth Nix
- Isobelle Carmody
- Kim Wilkins
- Tim Winton
I am not going to pick which titles I will read just yet. There are high chances that I might change my author picks or expand the list.

Good luck with the challenge, it does sounds great. :)
This year I resolve to read and review more books by Aussies in general. Great challenge!
Thanks for joining me in this challenge Terra! I look forward to sharing reviews... In doing my research for my Aussie Author in Focus posts I'm finding more and more great Aussie authors even I as an Aussie hadn't heard about. Between all the challenge participants with different reading tastes we should end up with a great list of Aussie books/reviews! :)
Good luck with the challenge, i might join to...hehe I should probably support more Australian authors as well, especially seeing as I'm trying to become one.
any way, it's always good to find another Aussie floating around :)
