New Adult Book Club discussion

As a New Moderator and the first from Australia, I thought our challenge this month could be all about Australia. Australian Authors, books set in Australia, Australian characters, travelling or holidaying in Australia or working in Australia. At the New Adult Book Club, we challenge you to read as many New Adult Australia oriented books as you can this month.

- You will receive 1 point for each book read.
- If you read 1 book from each of the five categories you can gain 2 bonus points.
- Max. of 7 points this month
- Create ONE post below to keep track of your progress and edit your post throughout the month.

1. Read a New Adult Book from an Australian Author
2. Read a New Adult Book set in Australia
3. Read a New Adult Book that has an Australian Character
4. Read a New Adult Book about travelling/holidaying to/around Australia

Great idea, Dee! I'm looking forward to reading more Australian authors.

Thank you, I am interested to see if I can get this challenge done too. I have read a few of the books listed above especially Kylie Scott - love that series. Also interested with other peoples book choices that I don't already know about. Let us know when you find a good one :)

Side note. I adore Kylie Scott. As a matter of fact, I just reread Lick this week. :)

Thanks for the recommendation. I just read two of Kate McCarthy's.

Fantastic idea.

Rebecca James' Beautiful Malice should count too? I loved it, and Sweet Damage.

Is Beautiful Malice young adult?

I'm having a hard time finding something that fits #4.
Help?

Thoughtless
Stormswept: The Bold and the Beautiful
Unconditional
A Greater World
Between Heartbreak and Happiness
The End Game

I'll change it to travelling to or around Australia. That might give some more options.
