Booklover Book Review is running this challenge and being an Aussie Book Blogger I just had to join. There are two levels to this challenge and I have chosen to complete Fair Dinkum, I am also tampering with the number of books I am to read as this is such an easy challenge for me.
Levels:
1. The Tourist - Read and review 3 books by 3 different Australian authors.
2. Fair Dinkum - Read and review 8 books by Australian authors (a minimum of 5 different Australian authors)
--For myself I have set a target of 16 books by Australian authors (a minimum of 10 different Australian authors)
Here are the rules:
1. Write a challenge sign-up post on your blog. In that post provide a link to this original post acknowledging Booklover Book Reviews and put this Challenge Button on your sidebar, linking the button to my challenge post.
2. Add your name and the direct link to your Aussie Author Challenge sign-up post in the Mister Linky list below.
3. Decide which Aussie authors you will read in 2010, although you can change your book titles or challenge level at any time!
4. Each time you read and review a book as part of this challenge, share this with other challenge participants by adding a direct link to your book review to the list at this post Aussie Author Challenge Book Reviews.

Thank you for joining me in the Aussie Author Challenge - I admire you, doubling the number of books, or you can say you completed the challenge twice! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually heard of some of the books in your 'read so far list' - look forward to reading your reviews!
This is such a great challenge and I'm happy to be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad you don't mind that I played around with the numbers, there is just so many talented Aussie authors out there I thought I’d be a bit daring and attempt double the number.
Thanks for your comment and your support :)
