This is the third year I have taken part in the AWW challenge and I am still amazed at the number of books by Australian women that I continue to discover and, more importantly, read. I love the fact that the percentage of my reading that is by Australian female authors has increased dramatically and will continue to stay that way.
Although I did not read and review as many books as I have in previous years I am still very happy with my total of 37 read and 20 reviewed. I did have a bit of a Kimberley Freeman binge this year, having just come across her books. It was wonderful to be able to keep going back for more, as you can do when you have a backlist to discover. Alas I am down to my last one now, so I will have to wait each year now for the new title to emerge. Needless to say I am now a big Kimberley Freeman fan.

Liane Moriarty once again proved why she is the Queen of Australian women's fiction with another light-hearted yet dark story set in suburbia. It was great to also read new offerings from Honey Brown, Wendy James, Jaye Ford, Monica McInerney and Caroline Overington. On the new author front I loved Kylie Kaden's debut novel Losing Kate as well as Anna Romer's first two novels Thornwood House and Lyrebird Hill.
I have also made an effort to include Indie author titles in my reading and enjoyed books by Brenda Cheers, Nene Davies, Belle Gibbons and Francesca Suters. There are so many Indie authors out there with a lot to offer and I will continue to seek out these titles in the future.
You can ready my reviews by either clicking on AWW in the categories tab or clicking on the covers below to take you to Goodreads. A huge thank you to those who organise and run this wonderful challenge every year and I look forward to taking part again in 2015.
