Bec’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

Ok 3/5 down. I just finished 1). Geographical Setting: The Story of Us - set in New England USA. Sped through this one as I really enjoyed it. 4.5 stars.

Now I'm struggling with the different genre one. I had Frankenstein as it was horror and I don't like horror. But I started it and just can't do it. So then I re-read the description and it's not supposed to be a genre you don't like, but one you haven't read (or in a long time). So I'm struggling to choose a genre I haven't read. Can you hit me with some different genres? I read most things I thought.

Finished my second book - 4. book with a place in the title. I read
Started slow but then I couldn't put it down and read it in record speed. 4 stars!

Next up, 1. Geographical setting -The Story of Us (I'm cheating here as I've just received this as a read for review book - so I've subbed it in as I enjoyed the first in the series so much!)

Finished my first - number 5 readers choice (It was my only Australian Author so I wanted to make sure I got that in!)) Picnic at Hanging Rock 4 out of 5 stars.

I've started reading Picnic at Hanging Rock. After visiting Hanging Rock on a recent holiday I decided this is a book I should have read by now. It started a little slow but I'm getting into it now.

It's okay I found a better one that's on my TBR list!

1). Geographical Setting: Read a book set in a different country than your own.
The Story of Us - set in New England USA Read 8/11 - sped through this one as I really enjoyed it. 4.5 stars.

2). Travel to a Different Genre: Read a book from a genre you haven't explored before/for a long time. The Shining - Horror Read 30/11 3 stars. I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the right mood but I didn't find this scary at all.

3). Cover Hunt: Read a book with a picture of a mode of transport on the cover.
Duke motorbike read 17/11 4 stars

4). Title: Read a book with a PLACE NAME in the title, such as the name of a country, state, city, town, etc. Titles with words like ‘woods’, ‘beach’, ‘mountain’, ‘river’, ‘garden’, ‘park’, etc, in the title would count as places too.
The Girl Who Came Home Read 6/11 - 4 stars (after a slow start)

5).Reader’s Choice: Read any book of your choice.
Picnic at Hanging Rock Australian Author Read 4/11 - 4 stars

5/5 completed

Does this count as #3 mode of transport? Train tracks but no train.

I would like to join in. I will come back
With my books (when I don't have a sleeping child on my lap)
