Australian authors I read in 2016

I participated in the The Aussie Author Challenge 2016 hosted at Booklover Book Reviews

I'm aimed initially at Kangaroo (12 titles) but the reality was that I read many more than that. I read 118 books in the year and 29 of them were by Australian authors, so 1 in every 5 books that I read is by an Australian author.

Read and review 12 titles written by Australian Authors of which at least 4 of those authors are female, at least 4 of those authors are male, and at least 4 of those authors are new to you; Fiction or non-fiction, at least 3 genre. 

Because I read almost entirely crime fiction, I had a problem with the 3 genre aspect.

18/29 are female authors.

The titles are listed in the order in which I read them.
