My 2020 Reading Challenges

 



It's no secret I love reading challenges and this year I have decided to sign up for a couple of new challenges that I've seen mentioned around the blogosphere and on Facebook.

I will again be joining the Book Lover Book Review Aussie Author Challenge

The objective of this reading challenge is to showcase the quality and diversity of the books being produced by Australian authors.

I will again sign up for KANGAROO level:
Read and review 12 titles written by Australian Authors of which at least 4 of those authors are female, at least 4 of those authors are male, and at least 4 of those authors are new to you; Fiction or non-fiction, at least 3 different genre.

However if I can increase my male Aussie authors I may acheive the new level of EMU
Read and review 24 titles written by Australian Authors of which at least 10 of those authors are female, at least 10 of those authors are male, and at least 10 of those authors are new to you; Fiction or non-fiction, at least 4 different genre.

Another favourite of mine is the Australian Women Writers challenge which I will be participating in again in 2020. 
I chose to nominate my own goal to read and review 30 books.

Fill one square on the second Saturday of each month.

  2. I'm going to be Ancient History for sure in 2020 for the Historical Fiction challenge. I made it easy this year, and I already have a bunch of ARCs that are historical fiction.
