My Reading Life: #aww2018 Challenge Checkpoint 1

I’ve decided this year to do a series of checking in posts for my Australian Women Writers Challenge. I started off last year marking off every ten books, but then I would forget and have to mark off twenty and then life would become chaotic, causing me to forget again until before I knew, I had reached the end of the year and was compiling a list of 74 titles from scratch.

This year, I am aiming to do a monthly checkpoint post, although, so as not to box myself in, I won’t title them as Jan, Feb, March, and so on. That way, if I fall behind, you won’t notice since I’m numbering them instead!


So, for checkpoint 1, I have read 10 books and reviewed 12 from the start of January to today for my #aww2018 challenge. I am under no illusions whatsoever that I’ll be able to maintain this level throughout the year, but what good are summer holidays if they can’t give your reading numbers a boost?! Also, you’ll note that I read 10 books but reviewed 12 – how did that come about? Well, last year, I read two novels way in advance of publication, but wasn’t able to publish the reviews until their January release dates. I didn’t count these in last year’s challenge figures, knowing they would be included for 2018 – a little head start!


Onto the books! I have linked each title back to my review in case you missed it first time around.
