And so ends another year of reading! If I counted correctly, I belive 46/65 are Aussie authors and they were a standout bunch. We really do have some fantastic fiction coming out of Australia and they deserve a stand on the world stage.
I read two more books than I did in 2021, but I honestly don’t think I could read any more than what I managed in 2022 and so I will keep my target of 65 books for 2023.
There are so many novels on my 2023 TBR wish list that are stand-alone and also ones that are next in a series that I started in 2022. I can’t wait to delve into them. Happy reading!
