I've read a couple from your list - Ruby Blues (which I liked a lot) and The Siren's Sting which I didn't mind.

Hope you enjoy your selection!

I have Ruby Blues on my list. And forgot I have a copy of Burn Bright so will add that. Love Kerry Greenwod too

Yes, I was surprised at the amount of female Aussie authors I already had on my shelves waiting to be read

Another great list:)

I have added my review of the first book The Reformed Vampire Support Group which you can see here The Apathetic Reviewer

Well I have added another review to Mr Linky :) Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood Here is a link to my review on Goodreads My Goodreads review

I am looking forward to seeing the TV adaptation of the Phryne Fisher series.

Me too :) In fact that was the main impetus to read the book so that I could compare the two

me three - good review Paula and a nice reminder to me go back and read the first book before the series is on - read it years ago but have forgotten the details

Yes, I have come very late to this series, perhaps because I met Kerry and I am always hesitant to read books of people I know just in case I don't like them :)

oh I do know that feeling Paula - one of the reasons I don't go to many author events and festivals is that I don't want to meet authors of books I've liked and find out I hate the author in person OR don't want to meet authors I like then find out I hate their books - better to stay home under the covers ;)

Well, added another review to Mr Linky, this time of Justine Larbalestier's book How to Ditch Your Fairy. The link to the review is here

Well, it has been a bit quiet on the homefront as I have started a Diploma and not a lot of time for reading. Have added a different book to the list and finally finished it this morning. Will review shortly.

My review of On the Jellicoe Road can be found here

Review added to Mr Linky, and while I have not officially finished the challenge, I shall be taking it very slowly from now on
