That's clever, Rachael - I don't do witchy/paranormal kind of reads, but this would suit me. I was also thinking I could do something associated with the Salem witch trials and I found The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner which appeals to me. Decisions, decisions!

Stef wrote: "How does one define "best selling""

Books that lots of people are reading I guess! Often written by well known authors (e.g. J.K. Rowling) but can also be debut novels that just "catch on".
The Goodreads Choice Awards reflect what lots of Goodreads member are reading.

Hi Kiera,
I'm sort of new to the Aussie authors, too.
But I've managed to find quite a lot of authors with a little research. Would you like me to give you a list of what I've got?

 Li'l Owl | 2504 comments That's great Kiera! Well done!

You're most welcome. Happy I could be of some help!

It really is quite humorous that, out of all the professional, wonderful Aussies here, I was even able to help you at all!
If I didn't have all the kind, lovely friends here, who have helped me out (A LOT), I'd have been completely useless to you!! Believe me!
I haven't even been a friend in this group for a whole two months yet!! AND, I live in the US, not Australia! What a hoot!! LOL Good thing this particular owl is a fast learner! =o)
Besides, I'm a firm believer in the
'pay it forward ' concept!! =o)
