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.

Publishers of #LoveOzYA, I’m begging you - publish books where the main characters attend government schools (and not just as a punishment). Please!
