I blew my personal #reading record out of the water last year, topping out at 212 books in 2022. That included 52 books for the #AustralianWomenWriters challenge (#AWW2022), 105 for #WeNeedDiverseBooks and 11 because I #LoveOzYA. Check out my 2022 book recs at the link in bio or https://larsenkeys.com.au/2023/01/07/reading-and-writing-in-2022/. #AmReading #MyReadingYear

My book club met today. We’re a feminist book club that only reads work by Australian women writers. It started as our small way of redressing the gender inequality in Australian publishing and readership and we’ve been at it for almost six years. It’s wonderful.
Any other brilliant book clubs out there? I’d love to hear of the different focuses you have or practices you implement! #BookClubs #reading #australianwomenwriters #writers #writing #writingcommunity #auslit #fembookclub

Hi folks! New here and so grateful for an alternative to Twitter. By way of #introduction, I’m a writer (primarily creative non-fiction) from NSW, juggling a creative writing PhD, high school teaching, mothering, reading lots, and a healthy RuPaul’s Drag Race obsession. It’s a joyful lot. Keen to connect on here with fellow writers and jugglers 💃 #auslit #australianwomenwriters #writers #writersofmastodon #writing #writingcommunity #nonfiction #creative #creativenonfiction #lyricessay #phd #phdlife
