ReplyDeleteMaybe! Problem being I have not found any NZ bloggers that read in any way similar to me. Although I guess anyone in the world could do it!
DeleteHave FuN with that ;)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your challenge. I will look forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteI read a couple of Danielle Hawkins books last year set in NZ. I recommended them to a US reader, and she couldn't find them at her library. Maybe you should look into setting up some kind of international book exchange :)
