This week, I am ticking off a novella no less than 150 pages - and being a little sneaky about it and using a kids book that is less than… Continue reading Book Bingo Twelve – A Novella no more than 150 pages

May 2019 Round Up
I managed to read fifteen books in May, so I'm still keeping my monthly average. Of these, about 11 were by Australian women - one was for work, so I haven't reviewed it, but have reviewed all the others, and some of the reviews were published in June, as I finished the books as the… Continue reading May 2019 Round Up

Northanger Abbey – Jane Austen Reading Challenge Update
I've always meant to read all the Jane Austen books, because she does satire and social commentary so well whilst still giving her characters nice, happy or at the very least, satisfying endings. I am also interested in her life, and reinterpretations of her works, so this year I have taken on the challenge… Continue reading Northanger Abbey – Jane Austen Reading Challenge Update
