Reading Challenge supporting Australian writers and book reviewers

STEP 1

Tell the world you are committing to this reading challenge and at what level. You can do that either on your own website, Facebook, Twitter, or basically any form of social media. In that commitment provide a link to this page and where possible display our Aussie Author Challenge 2021 badge to show your support for this initiative.

Then register for the challenge by submitting the link to your challenge commitment using the ‘Challenge Registration Button’ below.

STEP 2

Each time you read and review a book for this challenge, please also link to this challenge homepage (and use #AussieAuthor21 on social media). Since not all bookworms are book bloggers, challenge participation will include thoughts about books that you have shared on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Instagram, Facebook or other social media channels. Add a link to wherever you shared your thoughts using the ‘Book Reviews Submission Button’ below so that other participants can read them also.

STEP 3

When you have completed this reading challenge, tell the world about that achievement (on your website/social media post). Then use the ‘Challenge Completion Button’ below to submit a link to that.

If you ever have any difficulties using the submission buttons/forms, don’t hesitate to email me at bookwordlover@gmail.com. It is very easy for me to fix duplicate entries etc in the back end – don’t worry, everyone makes them :)
