Well, I'm just over half way there! I think I'm actually going to make it! 29 out of 48 and still half the year to go!
Revelation by C.J. Sansom and Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay are both mysteries. I loved them both! Picnic at Hanging Rock was my first book by Joan Lindsay and it's set in Australia, a place I've always wanted to visit!!
I have read FOUR books all purchased on March 1, 2008 so far. The most recent one of these is The Prophet of Akhran by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.

Sounds like you've been busy reading! I wouldn't go looking for Joan Lindsay's other work if I were you. Picnic At Hanging Rock is her classic. I suspect the rest of it is out of print, and was very different anyway.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Hanging Rock. It's a very pretty area. I think she was inspired by a painting called Picnic Day At Hanging Rock.
If you're ever in Melbourne I'll show you around! :-) We don't have a harbour like Sydney or a giant rock to admire or tropical swimming, but there's plenty to see and you can see most of it by public transport.
