Total Women

Ashleigh

Each year, I try my best to read as many books by women as possible, and to read as diversely as possible. In 2025, I read 234, participated in judging an award, and of course, continued to do my reviewing.

The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge Completed

Ashleigh

It’s taken me around 8 months, but I have completed another reading challenge for 2025. I embarked on The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge again, and enjoyed the prompts because they were broad enough to interpret for any book that I had on my shelf. There were some that were specific, and a few that I… Continue reading The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge Completed

Ashleigh

I managed to read 26 books in February across reviewing, blog tours and other reading – and I am hoping to get through just as much in March, as I have a lot of books to get through over the next few weeks, and there are always more coming. I have been mixing genres and… Continue reading February 2025 Reading Round up
