Books Reviewed

Welcome to our Books Reviewed search page.

Search here for reviews submitted to the Challenge during the years it was run, from 2012 to 2021. The reviews were submitted by Challenge participants, mostly bloggers and GoodReads members, and are for books written by Australian women writers across allk forms and genres, fiction and nonfiction. There are no reviews for books published after the Challenge ended in December 2021, but the reviews do include books published from the 19th century right through to that date.
