Oceania and Islands Bookbox

Another box on my doorstep, Soffitta1's 6th Bookbox (Oceania and Island theme)! I am just busy having a look at the books, a pretty good mix has returned. This was a bit of an experiment, I had read a couple of Australian books, but they didn't fit into any of my bookboxes, so decided to make a new one! The idea was that the books should be written by a writer from Oceania (e.g. Australia) or an island (e.g. Cuba), set in or with a main character from either of these two. I intend to send this out again in the summer.

Oceania and Islands Bookbox

I have decided to try a new box, this time with an Oceania and Islands theme. The idea is that all off the books have to take place on an island or be written by an islander. Bit of an experiment, but we'll see how Soffitta1's 6th Bookbox (Oceania and Island theme) goes.
