It starts here

2009 creeps on apace so it is time to begin this task and the blog that goes with it! After much contemplation, consultation, and, admittedly, procrastination, I am finally in the planning phase for my Year of Reading Australianally. I am now on my last non-Australian book (more on this later) before my reading year begins, sometime in February it looks like. I am one for Dates of Significance, so starting my year on a February 14 would be a good one, or February 28, 29, is this a leap year? February 13 was the date I left for my European trip last year so I guess that would be fitting also...

But what to read, you may ask. And other questions. I'll try to address the obvious ones before I begin.
