So, everywhere I go, people are fangirling over Melina Marchetta (and her books). I've added several to my own TBR shelf, but until recently, I hadn't made time for them. But then I discovered that there are several of her books up on Audible. Cue the "uh-ohs". ;0)I'm easing myself into the Meli...

First read completed 11-24-10 I don't even know where to start with this book... It is jumbled in the beginning, alot of information, but almost instantly I empathised with Taylor. Every chapter made me feel a strong emotion and I cried the first time half way through, then again multiple times ...

5 AMAZING STARS! Quite easy one of the best books I've read this year!“I live on the Jellicoe Road. Where trees make canopies overhead and where you can sit at the top of them and see forever.

I counted. It happened on the Jellicoe Road. The prettiest road I'd ever seen, where trees made bree...

Ok. I spoke too soon.I SEE the greatness now! It was little slow to start for me and it probably derives from the fact that I love a good mystery but I hate, with every fiber of my being, suspense. I know, you can’t have one without the other but still, I hate it. And the first half of this book was...
