I was going through the closet I converted into the unread fiction shelves last night, sorting to see what's what, what's there, etc. and found a giant stack of books by authors from Australia. I'm like 4 months late joining, but better late than never, eh?
The challenge is being hosted by a real Aussie, bookwordlover, and here's the page where you can sign up. I happen to really enjoy books from down under so this will be an easy challenge.
Thanks for joining me in my Aussie Author Challenge Nancy - you have plenty of time - 9 months left! Look forward to sharing reviews.
