WELCOME to AusReading Month 2023
And our new AusReading home month of October.
The month of October will hold all my admin posts for AusReading Month but the end dates in particular will be very fluid. If you wish to combine Novella’s in November or Non-Fiction November with your Australian reading then please feel free to post in a time that suits you. I will continue to add links below for as long as you keep tagging then #AusReadingMonth23
I have a lot on my plate this year, so I will be delighted if I can finish We Come With This Place by Debra Dank, Edenglassie by Melissa Lucashenko and Restless Dolly Maunder by Kate Grenville.
If my reading mood changes, I also have Sunbirds by Miranda Riwoe and The Sitter by Angela O’Keeffe in the wings.

This post was written on the traditional land of the Wangal clan, one of the 29 clans of the Eora Nation within the Sydney basin. This Reading Life recognises the continuous connection to Country, community and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They are the traditional custodians of the lands, seas, and skies on which we live and they are this nations first storytellers. |
Almost at the eleventh hour, here is my review of The Dry by Jane Harper
