Thanks Rita, I have been building quite an extensive list of Aussie authors to read for my challenges and have a couple of Kate Morton already read and her newest one earmarked. I also happen to have Dangerous Associations by Rita Lee Chapman on my list, which sounds rather intriguing ;D

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments That's really difficult Mikana because I have read som fantastic books by our own Aussie authors. If pressed I would have to say that my most recent read, Salt Creek by Lucy Treloar would be up there.
Definitely The Silk Thief by Deborah Challinor, Lyrebird Hill by Anna Romer...are probably in the top three.
