#AussieYAChallenge Update 2

It’s time for another update! Last time, I had read 12 books, and completed my chosen level. So now I’m working on getting up to 40 books, Well, I have read 22 more Australian young adult books since April, and some possibly crossover into middle grade, because I found them on lists for both, and in award categories as young adult. There are still a couple of reviews to come, and I have one prompt left to fill in. I have two books to choose from for that one. I have a couple of young adult books on the go now that will be in future updates.

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.
