Thanks for the info Marianne. I like Corinna but I was hoping the popularity of the TV series might encourage her to produce a new Phryrne Fisher.

Thanks Marianne...wasn't sure by thanks for confirming:)
Mod
I've had this one here for a long time Kaylene...
Oh, so you haven't got to it yet....I had it on my shelf for a very long time before I finally got around to reading it! It was ok but I enjoyed Dirt Music a lot more. That's a great book :)
Mod
Yes, I really enjoyed Dirt Music as well:) I'll have to read The Riders soon!
Changing my January Aussie author from A Fraction of the Whole to A God for the Killingas I am really struggling to get into A Fraction of the Whole.

Brenda, I got my info from fantasticfiction.co.uk but Kerry Geenwood has her own website too. This is from that:
"When is the next Corinna novel coming out?
12/10/12
Kerry writes a Phryne Fisher and a Corinna Chapman in alternate years. That's a big workload. One brilliant novel each year!
In 2012 it's Phryne's turn with Unnatural Habits. So in October 2013 we will be publishing the new Corinna, so far the title is unknown but we'll keep you posted"
I am already salivating for the next Corinna......
Mod
Finished January's male Aussie author. It was A God for the Killing
by Kain Massin. I gave it 3 stars.

Ploughing through my January reads, enjoyed them both more than I thought I would.The Devil's Numbers 3.5 stars - interwoven stories regarding an evil presence
Ghost Beyond Earth 4 stars - another evil presence (hmmm.... a bit of a theme here) but even better than the first book
I'm ready for the first of my February reads Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood - not Phrynne Fisher this time but Corinna Chapman, a baker who likes to solve things. A good series, read it years ago and more than happy to revisit.

Plenty of time Mish;) That one has been on my TBR for a long time...I'd love to know what you think.

I will. Well so far I really like it. The first 100 pages or so were quite gripping & terrifying.
I'll just have to see if it continues to grab me towards the end.

Your link took me to my own review on the edit page Dale...not sure how you managed that;) But yours is above!
Obviously I'm not the brightest spark on the board. LOLBut at least you found it in the end.I'll have to try and do better. Blushing.

It doesn't matter Dale!!! Learning process here on ALL of our parts;)
For the March new release, what exactly constitutes new? Does it have to be 2013 release? For those of us who rely largely on library books this is a bit hard.Think I might have to go with Griffith Review 39 lit mag for March.
Mod
Yes a 2013 release Dale. :)

That's great! Light reading is good now and then:)
Mod
Thanks to Brenda and Mish, I can now add in my new releases for this challenge.They are Run to Me
for July and Little Exiles
for November.Thanks Girls!!!
Great Elaine I'm glad you found something. Yes I wouldn't mind reading Run to Me & Little Exiles sounds good as well :)
Brenda wrote: "Oh Elaine...Run to Me is sooooo good!!!"Have you read it Brenda? It does sound good. Only thing I'm concerned about is that both books have 9 and 10 year old boys in them and my little one is turning 9 this year. I just hope it's not too close to home if you know what I mean.

I read it from NetGalley and will publish my review near to 1st March when it's released. It's brilliant, and I gave it 5 stars. There is no problems at all with the 10 year old, and yes, I know what you mean:)

Medea is a rerelease from 1997, Out of the Black Land is from 2011. We are due for another Corinna Chapman this year as she usually alternates these with Phrynne Fisher, but they usually come out later in the year. Fingers crossed for a Corinna, I love those!
