What I’ve Read – October 2019

Nov 1, 2019 | What I've Read

October was pretty quiet on the reading front.

I listened to two audio books, Heart of the Cross by Emily Madden and Tabby’s First Quest by Mia Bell.

Audiobooks have been my default for long car trips for the last few months, especially when I’m the only one in the car. If my older son is in the car, he takes over the music in the car!

I also read Vampire Alert by Sarah McCrea, a nine-year-old author from Canberra and started reading The Mysteries of Maybelle by Imani Benfell, a 12-year-old author. Reading books written by young writers is something I’ve been enjoying. The future of Australian literature is in good hands with authors like these.
