Mid-year update: How is your challenge going?

[Alexa]

Half the year has already gone by!
How many and which Aussie novels have you read so far? Any favorites?

[Alexa]

So far I have read 9 Aussie novels!


Pan's Whisper is my favorite out of that bunch. :)

[~Tina~]

I've only read four so far =(

and

Good news is that I'm borrowing a bunch of Aussie books, so I should make it;-)

[Joy (joyous reads)]

I've read 7 - two more than I'd originally planned. Go me! :)

[Janina]

I have read exactly five - which means I'm on track (planning to read ten).



Aside from Shooting Stars, I enjoyed all of those, but none of them is a favourite. Hopefully, the second half of the will bring even better books (QUINTANA!!).

I am doing well, too: I have read six out of eight. Maybe I can even rise my goal and try to finish ten:

Alexa, I am with you: Pan's Whisper has been lovely. But my favorite so far has been the first Gracie Faltrain book. Plus I loved Paula Weston's debut.

[oliviasbooks]

Yes, I liked it. You can have a look at my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Arlene]

I've read two so far, but August will be my Aussie month. I have a bunch on their way from Fishpondworld and I got myself hooked up with HarperCollins Austrailia. Don't ask how I did it, it was a bunch of furious button pressing on my iPad, emails back and forth to the Aussie tech, downloading some Bluefire Reader app, authorizing my device, donating a pint of my blood, etc, etc. and thank Aussie heavens I can now purchse their eBooks. Where there's a will, there's a way. LOL

Here is what I've accompished so far:

[oliviasbooks]

Wow, Arlene.

[Maggie]

Arlene, I'm so impressed! Total badass. :)

Is Pan's Whisper worth tracking down?

This is what I've read so far:

[oliviasbooks]

In my opinion it is, Maggie. I loved it.
