Also, a couple of people were asking where to buy Aussie YA internationally. Honestly, it's tough. I do know The Book Depository only stocks some titles ~ in case you were interested I made a list of what titles they stock that were mentioned in this series.
A couple more asked where to start with Jaclyn Moriarty. I always recommend either: Finding Cassie Crazy (also published as The Year of Secret Assignments) OR Feeling Sorry for Celia
Will announce two winners of the Aussie YA give-away tomorrow. You can still enter here. All titles in the give-away are from books featured in this series

ALSO the ever-so-lovely Chachic just brought Better World Books to my attention. Another book shop with FREE international postage. They also stock second hand titles ~ which is BRILLIANT as you can get older and out of print titles, sometimes at a bargain price. I haven't spent much time dawdling around on there, but it could have some Aussie gems and might be worth checking out :) (I already found an out of print New Zealand YA book I have been desperate to get my hands on...)
Peace out,
Nomes xo
