In April, I read 27 books – some quiz books, but mostly review books, and some reviews are still yet to go live. I read a broad range of genres, but mostly read Australian books, and Australian women as part of my larger goal, with a few exceptions based on what I have been sent by publishers to review. I’m still working on some reading challenges, with the last few categories ready to be filled. The books are chosen, but I just need to read them amongst all my other reading. Hopefully I can smash out those categories and finish the challenges without too much trouble.
