Final Reading Log 2024

Ashleigh

In 2024 I read 244 books from authors covering a wide range of identities and nationalities, adult fiction, children’s and young adult books, and across a wide range of genres.

My Australian reading has been as diverse as possible, within genre and author identity.… Continue reading Australian authors read in 2024

Total Men Read in 2024

Ashleigh

During 2024, I read 41 books by men from across the world.

Books by Australian Men 2024

Ashleigh

Another category I split my reading into was gender, to see how it broke down into men and women, as my focus has often been on promoting Australian women writers over the past few years, to try and bolster the voices of those who are not as popular or given as much attention as popular… Continue reading Books by Australian Men 2024
