Ashleigh

In 2022, I read 229 books by women authors, with 172 by Australian women. I read as diversely as I could, with the majority of my books being ones I was sent to review or chose to read. I usually stick to authors, series, or genres I know, with a focus on children’s authors to… Continue reading Women Author’s 2022 Wrap Up

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. It’s meant I’ve been able to read other things in between the review books, and have managed to finish everything I have… Continue reading July 2022 Round-Up

2022 Aussie Authors Reading Challenge Completed – Emu

Ashleigh

I completed this challenge in about February but have only just managed to sit down and write this post amidst all my other reviewing. As usual, I started on the Kangaroo level, and progressed to Emu, and well beyond that. My reasoning for doing this is because even though I always know I’ll have as… Continue reading 2022 Aussie Authors Reading Challenge Completed – Emu

I’ve read a variety of… Continue reading My Reading Journey February 2022
