Disabled Authors and Books Read

Ashleigh

Each year, I also try to read books that feature disability and by disabled authors. Much like my LGBTQIA count, this is limited by what I can find, what I am sent and by what is published. The latter is important, I think, because there aren’t as many books written by disabled authors that come… Continue reading Disabled Authors and Books Read

Indigenous Authors Read

Ashleigh

Every year, I try to read as many Indigenous authors as possible, and these are often Australian First Nations authors and books, primarily because this is what I have access to. This year, it has been focused on what has come my way for review, and I am enjoying seeing how these authors work in… Continue reading Indigenous Authors Read

Co-written/Anthologies Read

Ashleigh

In 2025, I read 23 books that were written by two or more authors, or that were anthologies. These books crossed into all the other categories: men, women, Australian, non-Australian, LGBTQIA, Disabled, children’s and young adult. There were all sorts of things here too, from picture books, novels, and non-fiction. There were some very good… Continue reading Co-written/Anthologies Read

December 2025 Reading Round Up

Ashleigh

In December 2025, I read 16 books. Some were for reviews that will appear later in 2026, whilst others were ones I read for my own interest. Some were review books or books I wanted to read and review. December was a slower review month, so I was able to catch up on some other… Continue reading December 2025 Reading Round Up

My Favourite Books of 2025

Ashleigh

I haven’t done this for a while, because whenever I see posts about people’s top ten reads of the year, I never know what to put on mine. Somehow, I always end up with more than ten, or not quite ten, or I’ll have read a series during the year, and have enjoyed all of… Continue reading My Favourite Books of 2025
