The seventh challenge I'm going to undertake for 2008 is an Australian Challenge (AU). I've had a few of these books on my TBR pile for a while now and I think it's time to take the plunge! Considering Australian literature makes up a relatively small proportion of my total number of books, I've decided to set myself a target of 6 books for the year. About half of the books on the below list will also qualify for the Classics Challenge.
AU reading in 2008: (currently reading)
AB Facey: A Fortunate Life
May Gibbs: Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
Ruth Park: Playing Beatie Bow
Tim Winton: Breath
Markus Zusak: The Book Thief
