I'm really looking forward to Pick Up and Owl Ninja. Also bizarely really interested in Glitz. It doesn't look like my kind of book at all, but it sounds so appealing. Which ones (that you haven't already read) are you looking forwrad to most?
I just ordered Glitz and last week I ordered Dark Goddess,
Orchards and Tall Story, both are in my queue right now and I am really looking forward to both.
Inside Out and Back Again sounds great and is getting wonderful reviews
Skate Fate is high on my want list.
Also Under Pressure, I am looking forward to giving that book a chance.
Finally, I really want to read Pink because I love me some Aussie authors.
Loved Dark Goddess. Even better than the first one I think.
Hey Doret,
So glad you caught Glitz as it really seems to be low on the radar. Penguin... I didn't see much about the book in the search I just did, but I did see that Boles is from my hometown! I'll have to buy a personal copy!
Edi - I wish Glitz was getting more attention.
I got my copy two days after I ordered it. Still waiting on Dark Goddess to arrive even though I ordered it first.
