Following a successful completion of this challenge in 2021, I decided to take it on again in 2022 – I like broad challenges as I can make what I read for reviewing, my own reading and quiz writing where possible fit into them, rather than worrying about trying to find a specific book to fit… Continue reading Aussie Author Reading Challenge 2022
