From Dymocks

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins (which I bought before The Classics Circuit even started). Check out the tour dates for Wilkie Collins.

The Screwed Up Life of Charlie the Second

From Chris @ Stuff as Dreams are Made on:

The Screwed Up Life of Charlie the Second by Drew Ferguson was the runner-up of Nerds Hearts YA project that put some spotlight on the less well-known YA books. I don’t read much YA, but I’ve been interested in the project and people’s reviews, and Chris has been very nice to send me this book a few weeks back. Check out Nymeth and Chris collaboration review on the finalists!
