Hi Em! So I’m kinda excited for the Booklr Reads Australian event even though I’m somewhat doubtful I’ll be able to join. However, I wanted to ask you for possible recs for it anyway. I know you’re the local YA and OzYA expert here on tumblr, but I was wondering if you’d have NA or adult fiction recs too from Australian authors? And good job organising the event, I hope a lot of people participate!!

aww that's okay, love <3 we are all much busier than we were the last time this challenge ran 😅

so, fun fact, but NA isn't really a thing here! Australian YA as a demographic tends to encapsulate stories set at university age as well as just high school. mostly 'cause we're a smaller market so divvying things up too much gets a bit laborious and makes it trickier for publishers and booksellers to market things

I do know a few books featuring characters in their late teens/early 20s but as for adult fiction recs, I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever read adult Australian fiction 😂 maybe someone else can chime in with some recs?

but for not-quite-NA recs, I'd suggest looking for:

Libby Lawrence is Good at Pretending by Jodi McAlister - a girl gets involved with her uni's theatre club and finds herself dragged into all the drama that that entails

Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood - a girl moves into student housing to go to uni and immediately butts heads with one of her roommates, testing the only rule of the house - "No Unnecessary Drama"

“Una mente vivace e tranquilla può essere soddisfatta anche senza veder nulla, e non vede nulla che non le piaccia”

Jane Austen

Jane Austen (Steventon, 16 dicembre 1775 – Winchester, 18 luglio 1817) è stata una scrittrice britannica, figura di spicco della narrativa neoclassica, e una delle autrici più celebri e conosciute del panorama letterario del Regno Unito e mondiale.

May 14 2019 – Five-Star Read

Amelia Westlake was one of my top 2018 reads, and for good reason. It’s a lesbian enemies-to-friends-to-lovers novel set in an Australian private school, which also deals with feminism and sexism. It is going to be released on May 21 in the US as Amelia Westlake Was Never Here, and I highly recommend it.

I also know that @thereadingchallengechallenge, @flamingmirrorbookish and @beautifulpaxielreads also love this book!

The Anomalous Pack

Within the Ferals faction, there’s a particular pack of mutants that has become almost infamous. It is speculated that the reason this pack has not been obliterated like other troublesome ones is due to their nature. Each of them is an anomaly, logged and observed -- why this has stayed Sloane’s hand, nobody quite knows. Speculation is, of course, entirely forbidden. Members of Visceru Sancti are discouraged from interacting with the anomalous pack -- as the Anomalous Pack’s members are spurred almost immediately to murderous rage upon seeing the Fleshmenders. Additionally, the Anomalous Pack is engaged in almost constant warfare with the Summoner’s Choir; the two organizations have an almost compulsive need to fight one another when close by. Pack members are listed below with their corresponding Anomalous Designations -- the way they are listed in the notes taken by Strauss Syndicate trackers.

CANNY ( OD-045 ) - Pack Leader. Considered as both her own anomaly and a second half of The Gristpool (LD - 010). Heavily mutated, barely resembling what she used to be. It is suspected that Canny was once Cindy Conolly, the daughter of a now-deceased leader of a rebel cell, and a member of the Strauss Syndicate. Twisted from what she was once, Canny is now the most ruthless leader among feral packs, but has abandoned any rebel mission she may have had in order to live as she pleases. The Strauss Syndicate paranormal investigator known as Emilia is the only member of the Syndicate who does not have to bribe Canny in any way to speak with her; Vesta Strauss knows the nature of this, and has decided not to share it with the company at large, primarily for Emilia’s emotional well-being, because only Emilia remembers the entirety of how they used to be involved. Canny remembers her ex-partner in shades and flickers, or so she claims.

OZYA ( OC-018 ) - the only member of the pack to not have a rating of Dangerous. Ozya is more preoccupied with the pack’s territory than she is with interacting with others who are not in the pack. She must still be regarded with caution, but is considered to be the safest to interact with, as she lacks Knell’s temperamental swings. Ozya is also the oldest of the Pack, with accounts of her presence in the surrounding territory going back for multiple generations.

KNELL (OD-041) - once known as Tori Simons, a confirmed leader of Phauxfire, a now-defunct rebel cell. After being tricked into revealing her plans to a spy sent by Empress Sloane, Knell was taken into the wasteland’s depths in the night and given a simple choice with a blade to the back of her neck: partake in the Everflesh, an experimental anomalous weapon kept secret by the Empress (even from her wives), or be killed outright. Knell ate, and now she roams as a pack-member, half-remembering who she used to be. Knell is prone to showing off for the cities the pack passes by; even the smaller settlements can hear her singing and calling to them. She enjoys music a great deal, and will trade secrets and songs. Knell is quite romantic, and gives flowers to the women of the Syndicate she enjoys talking to. Knell loves to chatter. As such, despite being highly dangerous, she is the most approachable, because unlike Ozya, she does not try to actively leave conversation. However, mentions of her past life trigger berserk rages that have, on every instance, resulted in the deaths of everyone involved.

ISHU (OD-182). The newest of the pack, and only recently given her designation. Ishu wears a mask at all times, that covers half of her face, and it is unknown what the nature of her anomaly is precisely, but it is believed to originate from her mask. The Syndicate, trying to observe her, have discovered that focusing on her is difficult unless she is directly engaging them in some way, and so they have suspicions that her anomalous nature involves perception, but precisely how they’ve yet to pin down.

HRIST (OD-057) sporting a single horn, has fused with a local anomaly and now is capable of emitting hypnotic lights from her mouth and horn. Her back is spiny and the spines have been observed to emit poison. Hrist has also been seen to scale city walls so that she may prey upon the guards within their posts. She is considered the second most dangerous of the group, after Canny herself, because she is the only one who has been observed to kill for fun.

Surprise! A new YA meta rom-com is coming your way :) Next week will bring release date news!⠀ ⠀ BLURB:⠀ When I find a half-naked guy standing in my dormitory at my new boarding school, I assume he’s my roommate’s boyfriend.⠀ He introduces himself as Alex and I introduce myself as Lottie.⠀ When he tells me he’s Sasha and was expecting Elliott, I see what happened.⠀ Someone knew I was a girl or he was a guy, and made some glaringly incorrect assumptions about the other one, meaning we were assigned as roommates.⠀ The new dorm mistress tells us we’re stuck with each other, at least for the short-term. What starts out as playful ribbing between my studious self and the ripped jock becomes something a little more friendly as his friends take me in as one of their own.⠀ Soon, I’m their ticket to the ways of the female heart. But not my heart. Because, I mean, no one falls in love just because of a roommate mistake.⠀ ⠀ #amwriting #cover #CoverReveal #indieauthor #writingcommunity #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writerslife #newrelease #YAromance #YAromcom #indiewriter #selfpublished #youngadult #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #youngadultbooks #bookcommunity #bookish #YAbook #ozya #readlocal #bookworm #booknerdigan #booklove #LoveOzYA https://www.instagram.com/p/CMObt5Fgl2W/?igshid=1x1pmcmptxv53

Where to Buy Australian YA Online 📚🇦🇺✨

I blog a lot about Australian YA - colloquially labelled (and conveniently tagged) #LoveOzYA - but I often feel a bit guilty because it can be hard to access OzYA overseas. There are heaps of lists on Goodreads and in my tag to get you started but it can still be hard to find actual copies of books.

Since I’ve got plenty of time on my hands at the moment, I thought I’d do some research and find some online bookstores that stock OzYA titles and ship internationally so that the next time I gush about my favourite local read, you know where to look if you’re interested in tracking down the book for yourself (or to help your local or school library find a copy).

Readings

Readings are a group of independent bookstores based in and around Melbourne, Australia who ship internationally. They have a designated section for Australian titles as well as a subsection dedicated to Indigenous Australian authors. They do charge additional shipping rates on international orders (the maximum rate is $25AUD) but if you prefer to support independent booksellers, Readings is an excellent option.

Dymocks

 Australia’s most recognised bookseller, in operation for more than 140 years now, Dymocks ship internationally. But because they charge by weight, ordering with them is probably the most expensive option. They have an excellent range and are an excellent way to find dates for upcoming releases but the shipping costs do them a bit of a disservice.

Book Depository

We’ve all heard about Book Depository and it’s widely known that they have permanent free shipping to over 150 countries. And they do have a decent selection of OzYA titles. The release dates can sometimes be a bit delayed but they’re still a good option.

June 8 2019 – Best Friends

One of the most well developed aspects of this series is the changing relationships between all of the characters as they are shaped by their horrific circumstances.
