July 2022 Round-Up

Ashleigh

In July 2022, I read 23 books, attended one book launch at Gleebooks, and maintained my goals to read as many Australian authors as possible, and keep on top of my review books.

QBD Reading Challenge 2022

Ashleigh

This year I participated in the QBD Reading Challenge again and managed to complete it all within six months.

Challenges like… Continue reading QBD Reading Challenge 2022
