Yay for fellow travelers. :) Petunia, I didn't know it was a book when I saw the movie; honestly, I feel like I found out it was a book quite recently, but I have no idea where!! Chris, you have more willpower than me. That's a good thing! :D Lisa, thanks! Yay for fellow travelers. :)

It's an awesome book. I fell in love with it. It was so hard for me to turn down this challenge, but I'm having a horrible reading year as it is already...I just can't commit right now. Great list though! You'll definitely be adding to my TBR list! So glad you’re reading The Sound of Waves! It’s an awesome book. I fell in love with it.

I have a feeling I'll be posting about it again on the actual date. ;) I'm glad you loved A Very Long Engagement-makes me that much more excited to read it! Andi, lol-it's spread out over nine months. Lots of time to relax. :D Bybee, I don't remember if we talked about it, but isn't it a great date?! I mooched the Franklin when I realised I never read anything Australian, and it is a whole continent, lol. I didn't know there was a movie! Logophile, awesome-I hope you do. :D Ted, thanks!

Great list of books for the orbis t. challenge. I was a little put out that I didn't have anything on hand for Australia & envy you the Miles Franklin book. I'm so old, I remember when My Brilliant Career came out...the movie, I mean. We probably discussed this last year, but your birthday and my anniversary are the same day.

I had such a strong reaction to the book A Very Long Engagement (I loved it!) that I couldn't see the movie for fear they would screw it up. I can't wait to read your reaction.
