20 Books of Summer (Winter) 2022 - Wrap Up

This reading challenge was hosted by Cathy @ 746 Books and ran from June 1st to September 1st, the winter months here in Australia.

In that time, I read a total of twenty five books and wrote reviews for nine. I still have some reviews in the draft stage which will be posted at a later date.

My list was drawn from my NetGalley shelf (which included titles for book

tours), physical review copies, books nominated for other reading challenges and some that I have wanted to read since their release but needed to wait until they were available from the library. Of the latter, some didn't arrive in time for this challenge and I also found that my mood didn't fit some of the books I'd listed, hence the subsitutions.

This is what I read with links to my reviews:

01. Growing Up by Angela Thirkell
02. The Headmistress by Angela Thirkell Marling Hall by Angela Thirkell
03. Miss Bunting by Angela Thirkell  Raleigh - Tudor Adventurer by Tony Riches
