In a bid to push myself to read more non-fiction, I signed up for the #2020ReadNonFic hosted by Book'd Out. I chose 'Nibbler' which was to read six books. I wasn't too sure if I was up to reading twelve, one a month, but look at this, it's halfway through the year and I've read...one … Continue reading #2020ReadNonFic Challenge Completed

#BookBingo2020 – Round 6: About the Environment
Greenwood by Michael Christie I don’t read anywhere near the amount of eco-literature that I’d like, but I’ve made a personal commitment to myself to read more, not just new releases, but to also pull off the eco titles from my #tbr that have been there patiently waiting for their turn for far too long. … Continue reading #BookBingo2020 – Round 6: About the Environment

Still, it was good to be back in the workplace. I'm sure my body will adjust. It was announced today that Queensland schools will fully reopen … Continue reading The Week That Was…

Shelf Share: Read in Isolation
Seven weeks ago I created a shelf on my Goodreads and called it 'Read in Isolation'. I wanted to keep track of the books I had read whilst spending 98% of my time isolated within my own house as an 'at risk' person for developing complications if I were to contract Covid 19.

I am … Continue reading The Week That Was…
