Thanks so much for the kind words Amanda… We have several listeners in Australia and New Zealand… we’ll need to find money in the Books on the Nightstand budget to take a trip down under!

The Book Thief was also my favourite book in 2009. Even better, it was written by a young Australian author. It’s so good to see Australian authors getting recognition on a worldwide scale. I still don’t see how (or why) the book is classed as ‘young adult’ fiction. It was very much an adult read. I loved it. Every moment of it. I rarely re-read books and I just know that I’m going to read the Book Thief again.

Ps. I’ve just discovered your podcast and I love it! I’ve downloaded lots of episodes and I’ll leave you some positive feedback on ITunes. I live in Alice Springs, Outback Australia, so rest assured that your podcast has a cross-cultural appeal.
