In September, I read 22 books, with sixteen by Australian authors and six by non-Australian authors, so I have been reading more Australian authors this year, which has been my focus and goal to promote Australian voices – as many as I can and as diversely as I can. I’ve again read across a range of genres and styles, and the Christmas books are starting to come out, so from October, there will be a few Christmas books popping up on the blog as they come to me for review. I am still, as at the time of writing this, keeping on top of my reviews. Some books have arrived after or very close to publication date, but I am still getting things up before everything piles up, which is good. And now, onto more reading in October!
