Autumn Reading Challenge Roundup

I am part of an online group on Goodreads called Aussie Readers which has different reading challenges for both the month and also the season.
I had thirteen books to read for Autumn Challenge (see original post here Book list for Aussie Readers Autumn Challenge). You will notice my original list changed a bit from when I picked it to what I read, some of this was due to logistics (I had to pick a few more ebooks due to travelling) some was running out of time (I picked a couple of picture books from our School Library). I almost finished my list of books which was a pretty big effort since I kind of started late, then went away and was sick during the 3 months.

I've attached the link here to my reviews on Goodreads - it was a great collection of books - check them out soon:
