March 2023 Round Up

Ashleigh
A pink background with pink cursive text reading March Reading. There are lots of book covers surrounding it.

In March I read nineteen books, and all but two were Australian. I reviewed nearly all of them, and the reviews will all be up soon – at least one has to be written still, and I have started on my May reading. I have tried to read broadly across genres and authors, but my focus is on Australian authors, so the bulk of my reviews make up this, but there are exceptions if I really enjoy the book or the author. At the end of March/beginning of April, my stats are:

Goal: 59/200

Dymocks

  • Summer: 7
  • Autumn: 6
  • Winter:
  • Spring:

Bestie’s Book Bingo 15/16

QBD Reading Challenge: 18/24

 Australian: 51 Australian Women: 42 Australian Men: 8

Non-Australian: 8 Women: 6 Men: 2

Total women: 47 Total Men: 11

Co-written: 1 Non-Binary/LGBTQIA: 1   No Author Specified: 1

I’m hoping to get more read in April, so I’m getting things read and reviewed as fast as I can!

Published by Ashleigh

An avid reader and aspiring 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.
