Hi Rochelle, thanks for your generosity! I’m your friend on Goodreads and follow you on Bloglovin’ 🙂 I am keen to read lots by Aussie women authors this year, but I’m really looking forward to Pamela Hart’s new one, A Letter from Italy, which is published 14th March 🙂 Have a great Australia day! x
Hi Brenda. I love Pamela Hart and can’t wait to read A Letter From Italy. Good luck!
Thanks Rochelle 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to enter, Rochelle. I’ve subscribed via email. In the next couple of months or so, I am looking forward to catching up with some Australian authors from the last few years – Kate Mildenhall’s Skylarking, Myfanwy Jones’ Leap and Sofie Laguna’s The Eye of the Sheep.
Thanks for subscribing! I read Skylarking and loved it. Good luck!
Hi, this giveaway sounds like a great idea! There are so many Australian authors that deserve more love. I am following you on bloglovin and wordpress. Some of my favorite Australian authors are Isobelle Carmody, Alexandra Adornetto, Maria V Snyder and Jessica Shirvington although they don’t have books coming out for a while. I also love Jay Kristoff who just released Nevernight.
That’s a great list. Jessica Shirvington is one of my absolute favs. Good luck!
I follow you with Bloglovin’ and on Twitter.
As for what Aussie book am I excited to read, well that’s a rather long list 🙂 At the top of the list is the Third book in The Tribe series by Ambelin Kwaymullina. I am really looking forward to seeing how the series raps up.
2nd on the list is Fleur Ferris’s Risk. 3rd on the list is Ellie Marney’s Every Breath and so on 🙂 So many wonderful #LoveOzYA titles have come out in the last few years by some brilliant female Aussie’s :-).
We do have some great authors. I love the Tribe series. It is so good. You should get your hands on a copy of the third book ASAP. Good luck!
I’m really looking forward to reading more diverse OzYA. We don’t have a lot, but I’m determined to read/support the titles we do have. At the moment, I’m really excited to read Sister Heart!
It’s always good to see diversity in our books. I like to support the titles we have too. Good luck!
I;m really looking forward to reading Illuminae by Jay Kristoff!
Thanks for the giveaway. I’ve already subscribed via email. Retweeted too 🙂

Illuminae is really good! Thanks for entering. Good luck!
Hi Rochelle! Thank you for this lovely opportunity! I follow you on bloglovin’! There’s quite a few Aussie authors/books I wish to read but I think the one I’m most excited about is Our Chemical Hearts. (The cover is so stunning).
I want to read Our Chemical Hearts as well, and I agree that the cover is stunning. Good luck!
Happy Australia Day Rochelle! It’s been ages since I’ve visited but now I’m finally getting my blogging shit together and your blog was one of my first stops. There’s so many incredible Aussie YA books being released this year but I think I’m most excited for Begin, End, Begin. It’s hard to go past a book with so much Aussie talent in there.
I hope you had a wonderful new year Rochelle and looking forward to catching up on what you’ve been up to ❤
2016 was not a good year for me and I didn’t blog much and hardly got to read blogs either, but I’m hoping to pick up the blogging and reading other blogs again this year.
I am really excited for Begin, End, Begin as well. I love anthologies.
Good luck!
