There will be prizes throughout the year and guest posts and interviews from some awesome Aussie authors.

In spite of being an international participant and being only required to read six books to complete this challenge, I’m planning to go for the Australian participant level. I’m going to read the Ranger’s Apprentice series that my brother has been pestering me about for ages. It contains ten books to date and I’m sure it will be a breeze to find two more books to complete the challenge. :-)

Well, this whole site is pretty much about me. You can click the pretty "about me" link in the menu bar near the top of the page if you like, but everything on this site gives you some insight into my psyche. Good luck returning to normal. :-p
