One of the things we did during the Boys, Blokes, Books Bytes program is give free books to everyone involved. Readers were offered six books from the list below. They chose three at the first evening event and three more at the finish when we staged a Bookgig at the State Library of Victoria.

We had multiple copies of all books, though not enough for one of everything for everyone. If you see what I mean.

Titles are listed from younger to older readers, approximately.

Michael Wagner Maxximum Maxx Rumble

Too Cool Phil Kettle

It’s True series (Allen & Unwin non-fiction titles)

Pat Flynn Tuckshop Kid

David Metzenthen The Really, Really Epic Mini-bike Ride (Chomp)

Doug MacLeod Kevin the Troll

Justin D’Ath Spider Bite (Extreme Adventures series)

Michael Hyde Change the Game series (two titles)

Eyewitness Pirates (DK Press)

Archie Fusillo On the Mat

Richard Franklin Digger J Jones

Michael Panckridge The Cursed

Anthony Horowitz Snakehead (new Alex rider title)

I had also intended to have Gareth Hinds’ Beowulf on the list but couldn’t obtain it at the time.

Thanks to the Little Bookroom for helping us track them all down.
