Australian authors read in 2024

Ashleigh

I read 206 Australian authors in 2024, many more than international authors, because I feel like Australian authors are often overlooked in favour of US or UK authors, unless they have a big name that is almost guaranteed to sell books. My Australian reading has been as diverse as possible, within genre and author identity.… Continue reading Australian authors read in 2024

Australian Women Read in 2024

Ashleigh

For the past several years, I have been eager to promote Australian women writers. Not to the detriment of men or international authors, but because Australian women writers are brilliant and often overlooked, so don’t always get the recognition they deserve. There are some who are popular, but for those who aren’t, I feel that… Continue reading Australian Women Read in 2024

Total Women Authors Read in 2024

Ashleigh

During 2024 I read 210 books by women, which was in line with my goal to read more books by women in general, and I did my best to read as diversely as possible, but I was also reading the books I already had or that were sent to me for review or literary judging,… Continue reading Total Women Authors Read in 2024

Ashleigh

Well, when it came to the end of October, we all thought the Dymocks Reading Challenge was ending with Dessert. It was a satisfying ending too, and yet, when the Christmas Leftovers prompts that allowed me to add a few more in, albeit one that I had months ago in a pinch as I was… Continue reading 2024 Dymocks Reading Challenge Completed for real this time

24th Davitt Awards Longlist

Ashleigh

There are many awards for literature in Australia across a wide range of genres and audiences. Some of these I follow more eagerly than others, usually the ones that might not always get as much media attention as some of the major ones. My favourite awards lists to check out each year are the CBCA… Continue reading 24th Davitt Awards Longlist
