2015 Challenge Fun :)

Gone are the days where I signed up for dozens of challenges because I couldn't resist a pretty button. I've been quite hopeless at updating challenges so I thought I'd better keep it simple ;)

and this year I promise to make a bigger effort (yup I promised last year too ... big FAIL) and actually update my challenge progress on the relevant websites or blogs. I love participating and even complete most of the challenges but fail dismally at linking reviews and doing completion posts. 

On that note ... does anyone have any ideas/tips for helping me pass this personal challenge?? lol

2015 Australian Women Writers Challenge: 

Hosted by Australian Women Writers #aww2015
I love this challenge, each year I've participated I've read so many more wonderful novels by Australian women authors (4 made my 2014 favourite reads list, which I haven't actually posted yet lol.)  The last couple of years I've chosen the Franklin level so this year I'm upping the ante and going with Create your own challenge: I'm aiming for 20 books

Challenge Levels: read only, or read and review

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
