Woo Hoo! Five years, no mean feat…And the person who should be showered with plaudits and prizes is YOU. I am sure I am not alone when I say you have been inspirational in terms of introducing me to new authors, getting me to read outside my comfort zone (and enjoy the experience) and making me aware of the world of modern Australian writing.
So a BIG thank you to you, and here’s to the next 5 years!
