May 2024 Reading Round Up

During May, I read 22 books, and reviewed about half of them, with some reviews in the way. I spent a lot of time trying to get on top of review books, and made some good progress – to date, the only review books I have left are back catalogue ones, giving a bit of… Continue reading May 2024 Reading Round Up

September 2023 Round Up

In September I read 20 books, mostly by Australian authors, and with several reviews to go live in the coming weeks. I have a lot of review books that will take me into November, and whilst this month I didn’t get as many read as possible, I am hoping to catch up during October and… Continue reading September 2023 Round Up

August 2023 Reading Round Up

In August, I read twenty books, and wrote reviews for all of them, some to come later in September or later in the year. I had a big pile this month and only got through a fraction because some came after publication date, and some took a little longer than others to get through. I… Continue reading August 2023 Reading Round Up

May 2023 Reading Round Up

I read fifteen books in May and completed the Autumn part of the Dymocks Reading Challenge. Most books were by Australian authors across a range of genres and audiences, like always. However, I didn’t get through as many books as I hoped this past month due to circumstances beyond my control so I am hoping… Continue reading May 2023 Reading Round Up

August Round-Up 2021

August saw most of Australia back in lockdown due to the Delta variant of COVID, so it was a great month to get on top of my reading as much as I could. Between books for work and review, I read 29 books, and reviewed most of them. Again, most were by Australian authors, with… Continue reading August Round-Up 2021

February 2021 Round-up

February’s reading leaped considerably to thirty books read that month for blogging and blog tours, and a couple that I read for myself. I’m yet to start back working as a quiz writer, but I also review for Scholastic, so several of these books were for that. Most were by Australian authors, and about 27… Continue reading February 2021 Round-up
