In 2023, I read 173 books written by women across a range of genres and audiences and age groups, and many of these were review books or books that I reviewed throughout the year. I made the effort to be as diverse as possible – whether this was the story, the author, or the characters… Continue reading The Books I read that were Written by Women

Books by Non-Australian Women 2023
2023 was my year of aiming to read as many women as possible – and overall, to read as many unsung books as possible, because often these books are the ones that are the gems. I managed to read twenty-nine books by women who aren’t Australian, which went towards my goal of reading more women… Continue reading Books by Non-Australian Women 2023
Non-Australian Reading Wrap Up 2023
During 2023, I tried to tally up different categories of reading where there were multiple authors – for some, there were a few and for others, just a handful. One way I split up my reading was splitting it into Australian and Non-Australian authors – as I have always tried to read more Australian authors,… Continue reading Non-Australian Reading Wrap Up 2023

Non-Australian Authors Read
In 2022, I read 77 books by authors from overseas across a variety of genres. A lot of these were review books sent to me by publishers, and many were kid’s books, which is an area I tend to focus on, as it seems many publications focus on adult books, which is fair enough. But… Continue reading Non-Australian Authors Read
