Rochelle (sharpewords) | 127 comments I can't believe how long it's been since I read a book for this challenge! Life has been hectic, to catch up on my goal of reading 40 books by Australia women I'll have to read 2 Aussie books a week, but that's OK because there are so many books I want to read on my shelf by Aussie women.

I just read my 8th Down Outback Roads a fantastic rural romance. You can read my review or here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ
