What Are You Currently Reading? (doesn't have to be an Aussie book)
Started, and finished, Divergent this afternoon. For a nearly 500 page book that's not good. I'll write my review soon. So now I'm on to my bonus book for the winter challenge, whcih I'll start tomorrow, Wildwood Dancing. Hopefully it will be better than Divergent.

Haven't started just yet but this weekend I plan to plow through my ignored comic stack...Only so long I can put it off. I mostly do this so I can read lots of the storyline in one go rather than in bits and pieces :)

It's a pleasure Marianne! Thanks for YOUR effort:) It's always a challenge to find that sort of thing, but I'm afraid it defeated me this time:D

I have just finished Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens. Totally awesome book...with Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter (2 of my favourite authors) both mentioned as helping get a new author 'out there'...it's definitely a brilliant book by Chevy Stevens My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....
Just finished re-reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. It was magnificent. Im reading it for school (Year 10 english), and was told to be on page 56 by Monday.

I wish we had the same when I was in year 10, a long, long time ago.

DBC Pierre's Lights Out in Wonderland. I am really enjoying it but others must not have because I bought it in a second hand store and it had a price tag from another second hand store still on it, which means it has been discarded by at least two people before it came into my hands! It has a home for life now, poor unloved book that it was...

Finished The Comical Tragedy or Tragical Comedy of Mr. Punch by Neil Gaiman, review here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Ive just started Crank, but I might re-read The Graveyard Book or The Secret Hour instead.
Just started Patrick White's Voss. For those of you who have never read one of his books I would encourage you to have a go. His inventiveness with language is able to create characters so beautifully.
I have just finished Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton. Thoroughly enjoyed it...I feel it's a little better than the previous one Sister. My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....

just started I Don't Want to Kill You my autobiography, just kidding but the socially awkward teen aged sociopath is amusing
Last night I started Man in a Mud Hut by Ian Mathie - it's the second in his series of narrative non-fiction about the time he was working in Africa for the British government. Extremely well-written and surprisingly engaging. For someone like me, who doesn't like exotic stuff, this is a real compliment to the author. The first in the series, Bride Price, was really good.

Extremely well-writt..."I have been wanting to read Bride Price for a little while now and I didn't know there was a second book, so great to know you enjoyed them both. I expect I will love them both.
I have just finished Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors. What an amazing story! My review is here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Devil Bones is alright but not as good as some of the other Tempe Brennan books. When I finish it I think I will only give it two or three stars.

I had Brenda, I was just saying it with a smiley face to show Mickey that I like that book. I'll be re-reading it in the next month or so, as preparation for the coming movie.

The extraordinary life he leads is all real, and it's much stranger than fiction. Also, he writes about it without artifice. Brilliant.

Marianne, I can't send you a message as your profile is set to private. Would you mind sending me a PM with the blurb of The Brothers Craft for me, and I'll copy and paste it into the book information? Thanks:)
