Woo hoo Elizabeth Lhuede for initiating this challenge. What a champion, promoting Australian women’s fiction across the blogsphere. This is another wonderful opportunity to support our writers.
The challenge: help counteract the gender bias in reviewing and social media newsfeeds that has continued throughout 2011 by actively promoting the reading and reviewing of a wide range of contemporary Australian women’s writing.
I’m accepting the challenge for 2012, although not aiming too high. ‘Stella’ level sounds pretty good to me (read 3 and review at least 2 books) even though there are sooooo many good authors with books due out next year (not to mention this year): Helene Young, Rachael Johns, Lisa Heidke, Rae Roadley, Bronwyn Parry, Fleur McDonald, Fiona Palmer, Cathryn Hein, Kylie Griffin, Jaye Ford, Mandy Magro, Annie Seaton, Karly Lane, Jenn J McLeod … no, not really. Just seeing what it would look like 🙂
My motto for 2012: if you can’t beat ’em, read ’em!
I reckon you’ll join them!! Haven’t heard of one of those authors, so will have to go Google. Looking forward to reading about your reading journey in 2012!
He he. Don’t you worry, Jenn, your time will come.
There’s a whole lot of awesome reading from that author list. You should be able to reach Stella level easy!
Yes, but I’ll need to be on set a lot to help out with the movie they are making from my book next year 🙂
Look forward to reading the Jenn J Mcleod new release soon 🙂
Thanks for the mention! I’m looking forward to the reading challenge for 2012!

Hi Jenn,
