As an Australian resident, I may add or retract titles, based on their published Australian release dates. However, if I read a book that has been released in the US in 2011, it also counts towards the challenge.
What's on my radar?

Email me with any titles I may have missed, that I'd be interested in. ;) )

This is a very rough list, but it took a long time indeed. Hopefully this'll help y'all see how much of a contempo nut I am! And also to see that there are so many great titles and authors featured for 2011. :D

What I have read
As there is no way I'm going to be able to read all these great books, I will maintain an ongoing list. This will be updated on my challenges page, when I finally get around to fixing it up for all the challenges I'm parttaking in for 2011. Stay tuned, and happy weekend!
