Dymocks Summer Reading Challenge Completed

Ashleigh
A light orange background with the outline of a sun around a white box with orange text for eight prompts. Each prompt is marked off in various purple shapes. The prompts are: Beach read, Tropical setting, Award-winner, Guilty pleasure, Motivational, #BookTok, Love story, and Water on Cover.

It’s taken me a while, but I finally completed my summer prompts. I was going to finish this in December, but I read a book that worked for this and other challenge prompts, so I decided to use it as the Summer and Autumn prompts are available to start now. My final prompt was BookTok – one that I often struggle with because I tend not to read the books heavily featured – many of them don’t appeal to me, so I was really happy to find The Dictionary of Lost Words worked for this, and a few other prompts. I’m glad this is done, and I am nearly finished my winter prompts as well.

A yellow cover with blue objects floating around white words. An umbrella, keys, a ring, a book, glasses and a badge are around the words Emily Rodda, Finders Keepers, two books in one. A gold circle says it won a Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the year award.
A blue cover with a diver in the sea with a fish. Blueback by Tim Winton
A lake surrounded by trees in reddish yellow light. Crimson Lake by Candice Fox.
A cream cover with gold foil text above an illustration of three people in a market. Above the text are three images in purple, red, and green.
A ghost wearing a cork hat under a dark gum tree with the sunset behind it. White text reads 100 Tales from Australia's Most Haunted Places.
A sunset background with a beach, tree and mountains with a girl on the back of a bird. Hope is the Thing by Johanna Bell
4 rows of a photo of a teenage girl in sepia tone. A red panel says Saving Francesca in white with a CBCA book of the year badge.
A blue book with black handwriting behind a posy of red flowers - poppies growing out of a brown trunk. Slips of parchment are in the flowers and they read The Dictionary of Lost Words. The author's name, Pip Williams is at the bottom in green text.

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.
