| Must-Read Books From Queensland |
There is something deliciously enticing about reading a book from your local area. The thrill of being able to truly walk in someone else’s shoes, down the same streets as the characters, to recognize the landmarks and locations featured in the story and to identify with the characters and situations adds another level of pleasure to a good book. The reader is able not only to follow the story and the actions of the protagonists, but to truly experience the sights, sounds and smells, just as they do.
