When you have reviewed novels from New Zealand or Australia you can post your links here. (Remember, if you participate in the expert level, you can pick a third novel from a different state than your first Australian novel).
What about countries from Oceania? ie Papua New Guinea? Where would they be classified, here? Or some where else? I have a book that takes place in Papua New Guinea that would be perfect for the challenge, but not sure if it fits in this category or not
There are some terrific crime novels set in Australia and New Zealand. I'd recommend anyone looking for good options to check out Kerrie's website Mysteries in Paradise or Bernadette's Reactions to Reading (for Australian novels) and my own Crime Watch website (for Kiwi ones).

ReplyDeleteHi Jules.
ReplyDeleteI just changed the title of this post to show people that I regard Australasia & Oceania as the same. So your book will be just perfect here.
I have always enjoyed reading about this part of the world. This particular book takes place in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteRichard Flanagan's Death of a River Guide is a brilliant 'life flashing before my eyes' novel. From Tasmania

ReplyDeleteThis one was hard -- I almost counted North and South Islands of New Zealand separately, but I found two very distinct Australia book instead.
