Final Reading Log 2024

In 2024 I read 244 books from authors covering a wide range of identities and nationalities, adult fiction, children’s and young adult books, and across a wide range of genres. There were some I loved some I didn’t, and some that I felt a bit middling about – they may not have been my thing,… Continue reading Final Reading Log 2024

Total Women Authors Read in 2024

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

Non-Australian Women Read in 2024

I read 30 books by non-Australian women in 2024 – these authors came from all over the world, and some were translated, whilst others I had to do some research to determine where they’d fit into, because not every author’s biography tells you where they live.

March 2024 Reading Round Up

In March, I read 25 books, some quite ahead of time for review in my attempt to stay on track of things. I completed the first part of the Dymocks Reading Challenge and made good progress on my other reading challenges. One book had a male and a female author, so it was able to… Continue reading March 2024 Reading Round Up
