2022 Aussie Authors Reading Challenge Completed – Emu

Ashleigh

I completed this challenge in about February but have only just managed to sit down and write this post amidst all my other reviewing. As usual, I started on the Kangaroo level, and progressed to Emu, and well beyond that. My reasoning for doing this is because even though I always know I’ll have as… Continue reading 2022 Aussie Authors Reading Challenge Completed – Emu

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

Reading Round Up July 2021

Ashleigh

July saw me head back to my job as a quiz writer, which I do from home.

This means more books will be read each month, but… Continue reading Reading Round Up July 2021
