Weeeeeeelll. Living in Darwin we only have two seasons the wet and the dry. The dry is sort of OUR winter so winter for me really started on May 1st :)
Mod
LOL. I'll be good. Have just preordered a book for my read a new release challenge ( the sacrifices I make!)
It is The Dark Enquiry by Deanna Raybourn due for release at the end of June

Hahaha..it's like people are counting down to Santa arriving at their house.
It's not like the mods know where we live :P
OI! 3 more sleeps Be strong and just do something else for 3 days!!
I know but I also said I've got a book from the autumn challenge to read so it doesn't matter to me..haha :p
Finish it already, then we can start the winter challenge early ;)
lol i finished it this week :p But still no starting!
Im okay with another three days. Ive got another 150+ pages left The Dark and Hollow Places, which I need to finish for the sci-fi/fantasy challenge. Its taking me ages to read, but its fantastic!
Michael and I will start the challenge and just add the books to goodreads in three days :P

I've got my list together for Winter:1. Robert Drewe, The Shark Net
2. Lisa Genova, Still Alice
3. John Marsden, Tomorrow, When the War Began
4. Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
5. Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
6. Matthew Reilly, Ice Station (though I may change this one yet)
7. Peter Carey, True History of the Kelly Gang
8. John Boyne, The Absolutist(to be released in Australia in mid-June I think I read.)
9. Karen Slaughter, Broken
10. Agatha Christie, Dead Man's Folly(nothing like returning to an author that feels like an old friend)
11. Martin Amis, Money
Not sure I will make it through all of this list but it is something to aim for!
ANOTHER "The Hunger Games" Wow...its seems like every second person is reading it!
I've started reading one of mine but I won't finish it until well into winter. It is nonfiction and promotes some thought so won't be rushed
