Gold Coast Libraries rock!
From time to time the intrawebs deliver some happy news. Tonight it came in the way of the Gold Coast libraries Top 40 recommended reading list. And guess which psychic, arse-kicking, aura-reading detective was on there…
Among the books you would expect to see on such a list eg Clan of the Cave Bear, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Kite Runner, Lord of the Rings etc, I was excited to see Rebecca James, another Allen and Unwin Aussie author on there.
If you live on the Gold Coast you can vote for the top ten. You know what to do …
‘Perth-ite Tara Sharp is going through a mid-twenties life crisis, unemployed, living in the family granny flat, the owner of a Monaro. One other thing - she can see people’s auras. Naturally she decides to start a self-help group, become a private investigator and take on Perth’s villains. She’s feisty and sassy, and ideal for fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum.’

Maryanne, for this competition, only Gold Coasters can win, but the votes of non-Coasters still count toward the Top Ten books. So, fans from other places can still fly the flag for a favourite author.
Entries have to be in the right thread, and have to use the phrase “I vote for…”
(From the rules:
Other votes received from respondents who are not residents of the Gold Coast will be included in the compilation of the Top 10 Gold Coast Favourites, however these will not be eligible for the prize draw. )
Thanks for giving us some link love!

Hi Tim,
I’ll write another post making that clear. Thanks for mentioning it. Book Coasters is a great website.

A few of the images were not showing correctly but, the site still looks good. I have been coming to this blog for a few weeks now and i’m very impressed with the content. What is the rss feed address?

Hi Kimberley,
I did a website merge and have only just had time to re-jig the photos. If you check back through the archives now they should all be working. Let me know if you spot any that aren’t.
Thanks for dropping my a line!
