August 2022 Round up

Ashleigh

In August I read 26 books, with four of those by non-Australian authors, and have kept on top of my review books again. Some I didn’t review, and some reviews are yet to go live, whilst at least two were books I had to read for quiz writing work. I’ve read a range of genres and authors and have mostly read kids and young adult books. September is one of the busy months for new releases so I did a lot of reading ahead during the past month of August so I could make sure everything was ready to go on publication day. Some interesting reading this month and looking forward to more in September.

An avid reader and writer, reviewer and author. I love to read just about anything. I enjoy writing about books, reading and writing as well and I dabble in many areas of writing from travel to crime fiction and fantasy. My blog is a way to get how I feel about reading, books and writing out there. I currently receive books to review from various publishers in most genres, but typically don't review romance or horror, or erotica books as I these are genres I have difficulty in reviewing and in general they are not what I enjoy reading.
