The Best of Aussie YA 2010 - Mini Series
 |
| some of the featured books coming up in the series OooOooh... :) |
So you all know I have a tendency to talk about the awesomeness that is Aussie YA. As a countdown to the end of the year (yippee!) I am thrilled and honoured to be hosting six Aussie bloggers who are also insanely in love with the Aussie YA scene.
I asked each blogger about their favourite Aussie YA reads of 2010 as well as all time favourites. I am thrilled with the responses - shining, brimming and EXPLODING with brilliant books. There's lots of variety and some overlap - yay! ... I'm really looking forward to publishing the results.
Right at the end of each guest post are some special Aussie YA recommendations for YOU :)
To kick start it off - I have an international* give-away of some of the books that are featured in the upcoming series. *(anywhere The Book Depository ships)
Two Winners

ReplyDeleteAwesome, an international giveaway for Aussie books! :)
ReplyDelete@ Jaz: ah, no. bugger :(
ReplyDeleteI did post out three international give-aways earlier this year and the postage killed me - was over $20 to post one book. Sorry :( It must be so frustrating - I know heaps of give-aways around the blog world use the Book Depository...

Great giveaway, makes me wish even harder that I lived in Australia. But alas I can only drool over all the Aussie awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I can't wait for the posts. I have loved all the Aussie books I've read so far. I am entering a new phase of Aussie love, when I was 12 I wanted to move there because Neighbours & Home & Away!!!! Now I want to move there to buy all the great books.
