AWW Challenge 2013

After participating in last year’s Australian Women Writers Challenge and reading and reviewing 11 books, I though I’d sign up again this year. My aim is to read and review at least 10 books by Australian women over the next twelve months, and I’ll post the titles and links to my reviews here as well as on the AWW Challenge site.
