Between November 2011 and January 2012, more than 16,200 readers voted online to choose eight titles, one for each state and territory, which would provide the basis for Australia's biggest book group for 2012. The winners were announced on February 14th at the National Library of Australia in Canberra. The books are:
Well Done Those Men by Barry Heard for Victoria
Jasper Jones By Graig Silvey for Western Australia

Time's Long Ruin by Stephen Orr for South Australia
TheWhite Earth by Andrew McGahan for Queensland
Listening to Country by Ros Moriarty for the Northern Territory
The Idea of Home by John Hughes for New South Wales
