Emu Australian Author Wrap Up 2022

Emu Australian Author Wrap Up 2022

For this challenge, I started out at Kangaroo, but by February, had to increase it to Emu, and I have gone beyond that. In read a total of 206 books for this challenge, and the majority of them – 172 were by women, with 34 by men, and the other six were co-authored by a man and a woman, so they fitted into both lists. In 2023 I will probably do something similar – understate the number so I can work to expanding on it, as I never know what I am going to come across so it is much easier to do it this way than go for the big numbers with this sort of challenge. It takes the stress off a little!
