I read fifteen books in May and completed the Autumn part of the Dymocks Reading Challenge. Most books were by Australian authors across a range of genres and audiences, like always. However, I didn’t get through as many books as I hoped this past month due to circumstances beyond my control so I am hoping June will allow me to catch up on everything I have on my big to be read pile. This month I also read the first two books in the None Shall Sleep Sequence by Ellie Marney. I reviewed all but one book, and one book was reviewed elsewhere.

I’ve got a big pile of books at the moment that are out between now and September, one book bingo prompt to finish, and the QBD Reading Challenge to work on as well as finding out what the Dymocks Winter Reading Challenge will be – which I will post about when I have the prompts.
Onwards into winter reading!
