2025 reading round up
In 2025, I read 270 books across every genre, style, and author identity I came across. Reviewing and judging activities meant a lot more reading, and until the end of the year, a lot less time to read the books I wanted to get through on my shelves. It was a delicate balancing act to… Continue reading 2025 reading round up

Book Grocer Book Bingo 2026
I’m participating in the Book Grocer Book Bingo again this year, and using the genre challenge to see what genres I read.

The prompts this year are interesting, and I am sure there are many I… Continue reading Book Grocer Book Bingo 2026

Only getting a few prompts at a time might be a tad… Continue reading Dymocks Reading Challenge 2026
The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge
In 2026, I’m going to be doing The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge again. I usually go with this one because many of the prompts are quite open to interpretation, which I like. It means I’m more likely to find things to fit in whatever I read. I fill those prompts first, and then have lists… Continue reading The Nerd Daily Reading Challenge
Readings Book Bingo Completed-ish
One final challenge I took part in this year was the Readings book bingo. I managed to tick every prompt apart from the cookbook prompt off, which probably had more to do with time than anything else. 2024 Prize Winner: A Gift from the Birds by Caroline Stills (Text Prize 2024) A debut author: Earth… Continue reading Readings Book Bingo Completed-ish
Dymocks Reading Challenge 2025 Completed
And just like that, another year of the Dymocks Reading Challenge is over. I managed to fill in each prompt for this one, and may have ummed and ahhed about the Gothic Ruins prompt, because I read a couple of books that seemed to fit it well. I did focus on Australian books and authors… Continue reading Dymocks Reading Challenge 2025 Completed
