This challenge, organised by Jo at Booklover Book Reviews is in it’s 11th year, but this is my first year of participation. I do enjoy reading Australian authors, particularly female authors, but in 2020 I plan to read more than I would usually read in one year.
According to the challenge website, ‘the objective of this reading challenge is to showcase the quality and diversity of the books being produced by Australian authors.
There are levels of involvement in this challenge and participants can choose the level that they think signifies the number of books written by Aussie authors that they intend to read in 2020.
