KOALA: A CHARACTER YOU WANT TO CUDDLE ALL DAY LONG.

Sue: Oberon from the Iron Druid books. He’s adorable!

Imogen: Rosemary Hathaway from Vampire Academy. She’s fabulous.

VEGEMITE: A BOOK THAT YOU LOVE BUT EVERYBODY ELSE HATES.

Sue: Actually I hate Vegemite – licking the road would taste better. So how about a book that I hate that everyone else loves? The Book Thief. I didn’t like the way the story was told. The narrator’s voice seemed forced. The ending was so bleeding obvious I think I groaned out loud.

Imogen: I’m with Sue for the whole Vegemite thing. I can’t stand Sabriel by Garth Nix.

SOCCAROOS: FAVORITE FICTIONAL SQUAD.

Sue: The Wayfarer’s crew from A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.

Imogen: The Survey Corps from Attack on Titan.

SOUTHERN CROSS: MOST RECENT 5 STAR READ.
