Hello Readers! For Non-Fiction in March there was: 16 reviews, 13 reviewers, and 15 books reviewed (4 poetry). Excitingly, 8 of the books reviewed this month were completely new to the AWW database. So a big thank you! The most prolific reviewer was: Tegan Edwards (me 😱) with 3 books reviewed. The most reviewed title this month was: The Husband Poisoner (2021) by Tanya Bretherton which was reviewed twice. As always, click on the coloured quote from a review to be taken directly to it. And a quick reminder: this round up includes poetry submissions despite their not being non-fiction. It just came out in the wash that way! Perhaps one day we’ll have enough poetry reviews to give them their own round up (it’s not wishful thinking, I swear).

Thirteen books were reviewed during February, with a satisfying spread between the genres, with a good showing for history. As in other months, several reviews picked up on books which have featured in these Round Ups previously. Angharad Lodwick at Tinted Edges wrote...

We’re into March now, and in Australia, we’re living in a COVID-normal world of check-ins, tests, and social distancing. Yet we are still reading, and our numbers for younger readers and young adult books are tracking to be fairly similar. We had ten reviews for...

A year ago, how innocent we were! There were rumblings of the coronavirus and, here in Australia in early March, limits were starting to be applied to our lives but could we have imagined where we’d be a year later? I don’t think so, and it’s...

In all the years since I’ve been compiling this round up, something has cropped up this February that has never happened before: 18 reviews on 18 books written by 18 authors. In other words, not a single double up. We are all reading different books! I’m...
