Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution,
will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Kerrie - You have quite a list there! I really enjoy the way you share those lists, too; it's a great resource for deciding what I'm going to read : ).
Kerrie, thanks very much for your list. It will sure help me to decide what next to read.
Kerrie, will look for your 5s in my local Vinneis store which has an amazing stock. Thanks for telling us about them.
Thanks for posting this. There are a lot I don't have so I'll be looking out for them.
I love the Jack Taylor series, so I was happy to see Ken Bruen in there.
have a great day
Some of my favourite British authors on your list. I'm sorry to admit that I don't know the Australian ones, but I'm taking note and will look out for them - thanks for the list.
Thanks for post this a great post.
