October 2024 Reading Round Up

Ashleigh

During October I read 16 books – not as many as I had hoped, as I had a few things going on and a trip away, but I managed to get in a few good reads, and most were reviewed, apart from one that I struggled with. I have a few things going on over… Continue reading October 2024 Reading Round Up

One of the reading challenges I embarked on in 2024 was the Dymocks Reading Challenge.

September 2024 Reading Round Up

During September, I read 15 books for my reviewing on my blog, Sisters in Crime, and ArtsHub. All these books were Australian, and all but one were by Australian women.
