I've just signed up for the above which runs from 1 January 2012 - 31 December 2012.
The Goal (as stated on their home page at http://www.australianwomenwriters.com/p/australian-women-writers-book-challenge_25.html is to:
- Read and review books written by Australian women writers throughout 2012, the National Year of Reading – hard copies, ebooks and audiobooks, new, borrowed or stumbled upon bybook-crossing.
Now, as I'm a romance writer, I aim to read in at least two other genres and to post my reviews here and link back.
The idea is to:
- "help counteract the gender bias in reviewing and social media newsfeeds that has continued throughout 2011 by actively promoting the reading and reviewing of a wide range of contemporary Australian women’s writing."
I'm in!!
Hi Beverley
