Oz Reading Matters: 2014 Australian Women Writers Challenge + Forgotten Rebels of Eureka review

http://ourgreatsouthernlandreadingmatters.blogspot.com/2014/01/2014-australian-women-writers-challenge.html

2014 Australian Women Writers Challenge Forgotten Rebels of Eureka review. I've certainly set myself a decent challenge with this one, proposing to devour 20 books before years end and review them all. I've had a good start this year with Dr. Clare Wright's latest offing The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka - go buy it! How much has the Eureka Rebellion been twisted for various individuals and purposes other than it was first intended? That is up to the reader to conclude after the book is finished and we're f...

Oz Reading Matters: The Shifting Fog by Kate Morton

http://ourgreatsouthernlandreadingmatters.blogspot.com/2011/01/shifting-fog-by-kate-morton.html

The Shifting Fog by Kate Morton. Like her other novel I recently read Kate Morton's The Shifting Fog. Keeps the reader spellbound til the end. The delicious descripions of each character and their setting of the early 1900s drips with enough reality as to draw them clearly before you. Next on the list is her more recently published book The Distant Hours. 2014 Australian Women Writers. Australian Children's Choice Awards. Children's Book Council of Australia.

Oz Reading Matters: Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries by Carola Dunn

http://ourgreatsouthernlandreadingmatters.blogspot.com/2011/02/daisy-dalrymple-mysteries-by-carola.html

Daisy Dalrymple Mysteries by Carola Dunn. So far, I've enjoyed two of the Daisy Dalrymple. Tales; The Winter Garden Mystery and Damsel in Distress, both which I've read completely independent of the first, not needing to (but wanting to! Find the introductory story of Daisy Dalrymple. They are similar to the Phryne Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood. But sufficiently different to be an entity in their own right. The effects of the war and the deadly Spanish Influenza epidemic following is often remarked up...

Oz Reading Matters: Rotten to The Core by Sheila Connolly

http://ourgreatsouthernlandreadingmatters.blogspot.com/2011/02/rotten-to-core-by-sheila-connolly.html

Rotten to The Core by Sheila Connolly. Rotten to The Core. Was another good read, a decent mystery which kept me guessing until about 10 pages from the end of the book, while a romance featuring the main character subtly burbled away in the background, adding to the storyline without overwhelming it or distracting the reader away from the main plot. Check out The Orchard Mysteries by Sheila Connolly. Labels: Rotten To The Core. 2014 Australian Women Writers. Australian Children's Choice Awards. Our Great...
