This might be a silly question but I want to do it right... Can it be any author or Australian authors only?

Any authors, any books Jennifer, for this particular challenge. The only criteria is in the rules/guidelines in the original post. If you're unsure on anything, click on the link and check it out. Anything not answered there, just ask here again :) The main thing is to enjoy your readathon, and a lot of people say it's a great start to the March/Autumn challenge..

Great to see you all having fun with your reading. I'm reading The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz and started at 19%.

Have a try again later Mary - occasionally GR has glitches. The best way to search is with the ISBN - that usually finds you the book. Well done too!
