Dymocks Autumn Reading Challenge

Ashleigh
Dymocks Autumn Reading Challenge card in purple and white with a big leaf in purple line. A white box has eight prompts written in purple: leaves on the cover, featuring your favourite country, translated novel, seven in the title, debut author, Australian author, a book older than you, LGBTQIA read. All eight prompts are marked off with pink circles.

I completed my Dymocks Autumn reading challenge at the end of April and enjoyed all the books I read. I read several books that I could have used for at least two of the prompts, as I have read a few debut novels and many Australian novels – more about that in my monthly round up. Anyway, here are the books I read and the reviews I wrote, to finish up this seasonal challenge, and I’m going onto reading many other books to finish my other challenges. I am planning on finishing the summer challenge in December and have the book for the prompt that needs to be completed chosen – it was just one that I didn’t get to during summer.

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.

  1. There certainly seems to be an influx of titles with ‘seven’ in the title. I’ve read at least three so far this year and now I see you’ve read another one. It would be interesting to see how many there are.

    1. Yes, and when I had a look on the Dymocks site, their suggestions are often the really popular titles for all categories. I’m trying to read stuff that might not get as much attention.

        1. Exactly – people try to get me to read the popular stuff because ‘it must be good if everyone reads it’, and they get very upset when I say well then, I don’t need to read it, do I? 😛
