OK, so perhaps COVID-19 isolation rules had something to do with it. I’ve been reading a whole lot more in the first five months of this year. As a result, my 2020 Reading Challenges are done and it’s not quite halfway through the year yet. So, here’s what I’ve achieved between the pages (you can find my reviews for each of the books in the links to my earlier posts): And the books I read? Here they are along with links to my thoughts on each in case you missed them the first time. (There are a few additional books read but not listed here because I did not post a review.)Eggshell Skull by Bri LeeMan’s Search for Meaning by Viktor FranklThe Mind of a Thief by Patti MillerYour Own Kind of Girl by Clare BowditchBruny by Heather RoseThe Yield by Tara June WinchSongspirals by Gay’wu Group of WomenThe White Girl by Tony BirchThe Lioness Wakes by Blanche D’AlpugetNo Small Shame by Christine BellI Want You to Know We’re Still Here by Esther Safran FoerTell Me Why by Archie RoachThe Women’s Pages by Victoria PurmanInheritance of Secrets by Sonya BatesThe Schoolmaster’s Daughter by Jackie FrenchEvie and Pog by Tania McCartneyStarfell: Willow Moss and the Forgotten Tale by Dominique ValenteWhen Grace Went Away by Meredith AppleyardThe Weekend by Charlotte WoodTaboo by Kim ScottInvisible Boys by Holden ShepardCutting the Cord by Natasha MoltWhen Grace Went Away by Meredith Appleyard Have you set yourself any reading challenges this year? Maybe a new author? Or trying out a genre you don’t normally gravitate to? Perhaps, like me, you’ve also been searching out more titles by indigenous Australian authors. Now, on to the next half of 2020 and more reading. We’re into winter here in Australia and of course that’s the perfect time to settle in a sunny spot or in front of the fire with a good book or three. #AussieAuthor20#readthestella#2020StellaPrize#AWW2020
