It's been a while - in fact I didn't post a single new review in June - although I was busy reading wonderful books and even writing reviews. But, because I had such a busy month I didn't actually get the reviews posted.
So, last night I remedied that by posting 22 new reviews on the Aussiereviews site, some by myself and others by fellow reviewer Claire Saxby. You can read the reviews by clicking on the links below. Enjoy - I'll be posting more soon.
