For each book you purchase from the Get Reading "50 Books You Can't Put Down" selection in that period, you are eligible to choose a FREE copy of either Tickled Onions or 10 Short Stories You Must Read in 2010.

The short stories in 10 Short Stories You Must Read are written by Australian authors
Maggie Alderson, Georgia Blain, Mark Dapin, Nick Earls, Alex Miller, Judy Nunn, Malla Nunn, Craig Silvey, Rachael Treasure and Christos Tsiolkas.

  • Stieg Larsson's THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST
  • BLEED FOR ME by Michael Robotham
  • TRUTH by Peter Temple
  • KING OF THE CROSS, Mark Dapin
You can buy the books online at Booktopia or drop into your local participating bookstore to pick up a copy of the mini guide and buy there.  Onl;ine at Booktopia you can save between 15 - 25% on most books, which, if you are in Australia will more than pay for the postage.
