Australian Women Writers Challenge

1/16/2017

0 Comments

 
Six years ago, with the goal of reading and reviewing more books by Australian Women Writers, the Australian Women Writer’s Challenge began. It runs from the 1st January to the 31st December each year, but you can join at any time.
Within the challenge, there are four levels. The first three are named after prominent Australian Women Writers who have had an impact on Australian writing. They are:
  • Stella: read 4 – if reviewing, review at least 3
  • Miles: read 6 – if reviewing, review at least 4
  • Franklin: read 10 – if reviewing, review at least 6
  • Create your own challenge: nominate your own goal e.g. “Classics Challenge”.
Many readers have taken up the challenge, from blogger/reviewers such as The Book Muse, (thanks Ashleigh), to fellow authors, including the wonderful Theresa Smith, whose reviews of Australian women writers' books in 2016 encouraged me to take up the challenge. 

As this is my first year, and I read across a broad range of genres, I have decided to go with the Stella level.
 
So far, I have decided to read: 
The Good People by Hannah Kent (I thoroughly enjoyed Burial Rites) 
The Lake House by Kate Morton, and 
Nine Parts of Desire by Geraldine Brooks (non-fiction) 

I'll post on Goodreads with the hashtag #aww2017 as I complete the challenge, and add occasional reviews here. I'd love to know what Aussie women writers you're reading, and when you find a great book to share. 

Until next time!
