Wonderful to have you joining us again in the challenge Yvonne. Many titles in your reading list I'd not come across before so looking forward to your reviews. And thanks for the reminder that I've been wanting to read the Keneally's Monsarrat Series and still have not found time to -- hopefully this year :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. As always, excited by another year of reading books by Aussie authors. Hope you get to read the Monsarrat Series this year.
