Aussie Readers discussion

Anticipating a bumpy year ahead so going for a manageable 60 titles again.

Good luck Alex. I hope there will be some great reads amongst that 60.

I'll try 160 books in 2023. I almost reached my goal of 180 books this year. Mostly repeats as there are too few good books published lately.

Thank you Sharon and Brenda. What I appreciate most about the Aussie Readers forum, is they help celebrate the good times and support you when times get rough. All the very best with your own challenges in 2023.
