May 2025 Reading Round Up

A brown background with a grey table. There is an open book with a quill on it and writing above it says My Month of Reading.

During May, I almost got caught up on my review reading, mostly completed all my reading for something else, and overall, I read 28 books. All these books were by Australian authors, which is a huge focus on my blog at the moment. That’s not to say there aren’t great books by authors not from Australia, but our authors deserve love, and they have had some cracker books coming out lately. Looking forward to more reading in the next few months!
