Dymocks Reading Challenge June Completed

And that’s a wrap on the June prompts. Reset was easy, as all books I haven’t read on my selves are on my TBR, and Read wasn’t bad either, as I knew I had at least one book becoming a movie this year. Though I did complete a similar prompt based around this for this challenge earlier in the year as well. I do feel that each year there are fewer options as often the books made into movies are things that don’t interest me, and I usually struggle to finish a book that isn’t holding my attention.

Likewise, I struggle with bestsellers and the pressure to read them or keep up with them when there are so many good books out there that probably don’t get the attention they deserve. So, I delved into the overall bestseller list to choose my book for this rather than choosing one just to fit in or one that I would never finish.

June: Reflect, Reset and Read

1. Reflect (Read a book from the bestselling books of the year so far and/or revisit a trending book from 2026): There’s a Prawn in Parliament House by Annabel Crabb
2. Reset (Choose a book that’s been sitting on your TBR and give it the attention it deserves):  Women Who Win by Antoinette Lattouf
3. Read (Dive into the stories behind the upcoming screen adaptations taking over this year – because the book is always better first):  The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Emily Wilson
