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.

Non-Australian Authors 2024

In 2024, I did my best to work out how my complete totals broke down into various categories. One of these categories was Non-Australian authors – and these authors could come from any country other than Australia. No limitations other than what I had, bought, was given as a gift or sent for review, so… Continue reading Non-Australian Authors 2024
