Books Read by Non-Australian Men

There were a few categories that didn’t quite have as many books read as others, and one of these was Non-Australian Men. Often this came down to what I received for review or what appealed to me, as sometimes there were things that didn’t stand out over other things. Other reasons included time – I was getting to the point where I had to say no to a few things based on time restraints.

This is not to say I won’t read such books – just that I had to find ways to work out what my focus was in 2023, and whilst there may have been others I have wanted to read, that has come down to a simple I haven’t managed to get to those books yet, and may do so in the future. Of course, the ones I did read in this area were ones I really enjoyed – perhaps because they were in areas that interested me – this makes sense, as the other books I read were the same in terms of genre and plot, and I suppose that is also just the way releases for me fell in 2023. Maybe I will read more in 2024, but that is yet to be seen.
