1. Robert Drewe, The Shark Net
2. Lisa Genova, Still Alice
3. John Marsden, Tomorrow, When the War Began
4. Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
5. Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
6. Matthew Reilly, Ice Station (though I may change this one yet)
7. Peter Carey, True History of the Kelly Gang
8. John Boyne, The Absolutist(to be released in Australia in mid-June I think I read.)
9. Karen Slaughter, Broken
10. Agatha Christie, Dead Man's Folly(nothing like returning to an author that feels like an old friend)

Not sure I will make it through all of this list but it is something to aim for!

ANOTHER "The Hunger Games"
Wow...its seems like every second person is reading it!

I've started reading one of mine but I won't finish it until well into winter. It is nonfiction and promotes some thought so won't be rushed
