The Temptation to be Happy thanks to Patty Mac's review
I've got my hands on a couple of books in the last few days:
The Rain Never Came by Lachlan Walter - is a dystopian YA on the very topical subject of water wars - but set in Australia. Have high hopes for it. Also arrived in the mail was
Rosemary's Retribution by Nandita Chakraborty - likened as a sort of Romeo and Juliet set in India and Australia.These are both new aussie authors for me.

Now just hope they're as good as their blurbs :)
