Dymocks Reading Challenge 2025 Completed

Ashleigh

And just like that, another year of the Dymocks Reading Challenge is over. I managed to fill in each prompt for this one, and may have ummed and ahhed about the Gothic Ruins prompt, because I read a couple of books that seemed to fit it well. I did focus on Australian books and authors… Continue reading Dymocks Reading Challenge 2025 Completed

August 2025 Reading Round Up

Ashleigh

In August, I read 25 books and reviewed most of them. Literary judging duties are over, so I was able to do everything I could to stay on top of my reading and reviewing. And was able to read a few books that I hadn’t agreed to review. This was nice, and I am enjoying… Continue reading August 2025 Reading Round Up

September 2024 Reading Round Up

Ashleigh

During September, I read 15 books for my reviewing on my blog, Sisters in Crime, and ArtsHub. All these books were Australian, and all but one were by Australian women. Some were longer than others, and they all came from a wide range of genres. Some books were a bit longer, and as a result,… Continue reading September 2024 Reading Round Up
