Now I have a handful of amazing new Australian authors to add to my wish list. I didn’t know any of the authors in this collection, other than Melissa Keil when I bought it. I hope that they come out with a new collection soon! And the fact that they’re homegrown and often write about the areas that I’m more familiar with? It’s very, very much appreciated. This, and Kindred have introduced me to so many new and wonderful authors to fill my shelves with. I love that #LoveOzYA has come up with a collection of Aussie YA authors. And although I’m not exactly that young anymore, this was still a great journey that reminded me of the decisions we make in life. It’s kind of a huge, pivotal point in someone’s life, so a collection on this was completely fantastic. It’s all about those moments on the cusp of adulthood when the world is stretched before you and you’re suddenly responsible for yourself.
This is a fantastic collection, one that I wish was around when I was finishing high school.
