Reading Highlights from 2017 – part 1 (Three standout authors)

Book review: Red Dirt Heart sequence by N.R. Walker
Once again celebrating Australian Women Writers, today's review is focused on the Red Dirt Heart sequence from N.R. Walker.

What I read in December
Yet again, I read a fair few books in December. In fact, I've become somewhat addicted to nose-in-kindle and am at the point where I get a little agitated if I try to take a break. Seriously.
