I've recently read two on the list....does that count Brenda? Lol!! I also have Lexicon at home and can borrow Mallee Sky from my Mum but of course the one I really want to read is The Young Lion!!! Which means I'll probably have to buy it as it's on order at the library and already has 3 reserves on it.

There are a lot I've read, but also a lot I WANT to read too! A great list I think:)

[Kadi]

Ok I've got 3 I will attempt (I might actually end up buying them rather than wait for the library).

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great choices Kadi!

[Andrea]

Narrowing down my choices to Burial Rites or On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads from this year's list, or Five Bells or Caleb's Crossing from previous years. Or some combination of the above! Better get cracking!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Caleb's Crossing is very good.

[Jenn]

So many interesting books. I have picked 12 that I think I might enjoy. I think the challenge will be picking just one :)

[Heather]

Quite a few of these are going on my "To be read list"
Also I notice that some of these are yet to be published so they also are contenders for Item 4 for the Spring Challenge

So I'm guessing that's a no then? It is a good list.

You don't want to do a re-read in September do you Elaine;) Sorry, I thought you were joking!

Yes I was joking Brenda. It doesn't really come across does it? My "I'm guessing that's a no then" was meant to be facetious!!! I'm more than happy to read something I've not read before.

Haha!!! Oh dear, lol! I thought you would yes. Me too. There are so many I want to read, and I won't be able to in September, with the Spring and Annual one too!

I've just reserved Mallee Sky at my library too:)

[Amber]

I'm reading The Night Guest: A Novel and The Rosie Project for my Spring Challenge, so that takes care of my September challenge :-) There are a few more on my TBR, but any of those would be a bonus if I manage to fit them in!

[Chris]

I'm going to read for the September Challenge. I have been meaning to read it for about 10 years now. ;-)

I really enjoyed The Rosie Project Amber, I hope you do!

Don't know much about that author or book. Is it meant to be good? Mum asked me to buy it for her the other day. Might give it a go then.

A fantastic series Christina!

She's an Aussie author and it sounds good...that's all I'm going on. I hope it's good, but borrowing is safest when I don't know the author;)

That's a fair call. I'm the same. If I happen to borrow a book and then really like it then I may buy it and make my husband read it!!! He calls me "the book Nazi"...not meaning any offense to anyone.

[Sally906]

Just double checking - I can read a book from any of the 50 books you must read from an year or just this year?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hahah!!! That's good! If he's a reader, you're well in front:)

From any of the links that we put up Sally. Whichever takes your fancy:)

[Claire]

I'm going to read 'The Magic Pudding' for September. An Aussie classic I haven't yet read.

Me too Jennifer.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I finished Burial Rites and they are quite correct - you cannot put it down. It was excellent, a five star read for me.

Good news Phrynne:)

[Elaine]

I may change my mind but seeing as I got a copy of it today and have never read this author before I will be reading Watching You for this challenge.

That one does sound good!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've really enjoyed Michael Robotham's previous books I've read!

[Heather]

I'm going to read
but there a lot more that went into my "To Be Bought" list!

[Andrea]

After much dithering I have begun to read Mateship With Birds by Carrie Tiffany. It was on my TBR shelf, so I thought - why not!?

[Kadi]

Phrynne wrote: "Elaine wrote: "I may change my mind but seeing as I got a copy of it today and have never read this author before I will be reading Watching You for this challenge...."

I'm looking forward to reading this one!

I got Planet Elephant from the library today. Hoping to start it this weekend.

I'm reading that one too, Heather

[Jenn]

I just finished A bitter taste by Annie Hauxwell...it is a good read

[Chris]

I finished Tomorrow, When the War Began last night. Loved it. Now to find time to read the rest of the series.

[Kathy]

Jennifer wrote: "I just finished A bitter taste by Annie Hauxwell...it is a good read"

That's good to know, I am just starting.

[Heather]

Hi Jennifer yes I just finished A bitter taste this morning and yes it is a read "you can't put down"

[Andrea]

Although it was a very quick read for me, I wouldn't say it was un-put-down-able. Nice though. Three stars. Now I'm starting on from an older list.

I'll be interested on your take of Five Bells when you've finished Andrea:)

[Amber]

Finished my first book for this challenge, The Night Guest: A Novel ★★★

[Joanne]

Before the the September Challenge from getreading published, i've read Cairo by Chris Womersley, Man Drought by Rachael Johns, The Lavender Keeper by Fiona McIntosh, and The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. All of these book i will consider as average read with the exception of Rosie Project and Cairo which will be my recommendation to others.
I've tried to read Questions of Travel by Michelle de Kretser in Augost. In fact, i've attempt to read it for at least 5 times. Unfortunately, i can't seems to pass the first 20 pages of the book. Maybe one day, one day in the future i will consider reading it again.

For this challenge, i'm planning to read
Everything to Live For by Turia Pitt
Watching You by Michael Robotham
and Three Hours Late by Nicole Trope.

I'll also consider
Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
The Shadow Year by Hannah Richell
Left For Dead by Barlo and Williams
Blood Secret by Jaye Ford
A Bitter Taste by Annie Hauxwell

If you're not sure how - in this box, top right hand side you will see "add book/author" - click on that, type in your title or ISBN, hit search, then "add" when the correct book comes up:) Thanks again:)

[Joanne]

Sure Branda, i shall. Thanks very much. I was trying to do it, but didn't really know how unless i go thru books for each link. Your help i very much appreciated. :)
