Bree T (breeza82) | 32 comments Just started putting together a Goodreads shelf for this challenge, mostly just from looking at what was already on my shelves or that I know I want to read soon. I definitely won't read everything on the shelf (there are 7 Judy Nunn novels, definitely won't read all those in a year! I'm just not sure which ones I want to read yet) and I'll add other titles as I find them/they get published.

My shelf can be found here:

I'm hoping to add more crime titles as they look a bit light on.

Hi Bree, couldn't help but respond...a friend and I run a blog called Fair Dinkum Crime where we review and discuss Aussie crime fiction. It's not all women writers but we just posted our list of most impressive crime fiction for the year and of the 10 titles we chose 5 were by women. We've reviewed quite a few other Aussie women writers on the site too so I hope we can help you find something for this callenge http://fairdinkumcrime.com/2011/12/21...

Bree T (breeza82) | 32 comments Thanks Bernadette, I had a look and found a few titles that look very interesting. Crime fiction is much better represented now.

Brenda It's a good book, isn't it Bree! Did you do a review? I haven't read The Piper's Son..I'll wait to hear your opinion!!


message 16: by Bree (new)

Bree T (breeza82) | 32 comments Incredible book! I've only read before Looking for Alibrandi and it was a goal of mine to read more of Marchetta's work this year... So glad I did! I haven't written my review yet but I will. I should do it now but I really want to read The Piper's Son instead.

Bree T (breeza82) | 32 comments Today I have a guest post with author Jennifer Paynter who has just released her first novel, Mary Bennet which is a retelling of Pride & Prejudice from Mary's point of view. Jennifer did a blog piece for me about just what it was like writing Mary as the protagonist. The link is href="http://1girl2manybooks.wordpress.com/... here
