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

Aussie YA Challenge Completed

Ashleigh

One of the challenges I took part in this year was the #AussieYAChallenge, hosted by Amy at Lost in a Good Book. I had planned to read to the highest level, which was Nix – read twelve books, because at the time, I wasn’t sure how much Australian YA would come my way. I ended… Continue reading Aussie YA Challenge Completed
