So far this year I have read 106 books, with approximately 1 in 4 read on my Kindle, which I must confess goes almost everywhere with me. Sadly there are only 3 Australian books on the list. Hopefully the balance will eventually get better.
Here they are (I've included my ratings)

Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read.
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.

It is very sad that more Aussie books aren't available in this format but I live in hope :)
Amazing Kerrie. Well done.
As I understand it, regional book rights has caused road blocks to non-US (aka foreign) books making it to Amazon America. I know there are several English books I'd like to read available with Amazon UK only.
Then there is the slowness of small press mysteries to publish in both print (nearly always trade format) and e-book.
