Non-Australian Authors 2024

In 2024, I did my best to work out how my complete totals broke down into various categories. One of these categories was Non-Australian authors – and these authors could come from any country other than Australia. No limitations other than what I had, bought, was given as a gift or sent for review, so that I could work with what was accessible and available to me. Many of these were from the US and the UK, based on what is published in Australia from around the world. I have covered a range of areas in fiction and non-fiction, across all genres as well. It was interesting to see what came through for me with non-Australian authors, because I never know where they are going to come from.
