2019 Reading Challenge

January 4 2019 By melbournemamma 31 Comments

Melbourne Mamma 2019 Reading Challenge

Calling all book lovers! I’m setting myself a 2019 reading challenge and I’d love for you to join me.

I set myself this same challenge last year and I didn’t quite get through the list as I  some of the books I read in my book club, didn’t meet any of the criteria that I had listed (didn’t plan that very well, did I?)

However, I did manage to read 14 books in 2018, which was a pretty good effort, considering I am a chronic migraine sufferer.

Anyway, this year I am determined to read all the books in the challenge as well as additional books in my book club.

I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year. …

2018 Reading Challenge

January 2 2018 By melbournemamma 2 Comments

Calling all book lovers! I’m setting myself a 2019 reading challenge and I’d love for you to join me.

Now, before we get started, I have a confession to make. I set myself this same challenge last year and I did not complete it. In fact, I did not even come close to completing it. My migraines were a little out of control last year and I started a new job (not great excuses, I know), so I only read six books all year and only three of them met the challenge criteria.

However, I recently started a book club – my first ever – and it has really rekindled my love of reading and the importance of making time to do the things I love.

I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year. …

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”

📚 Stay tuned for my 2026 Reading Challenge 📚
