I’ve starting 2020 with a New Year resolution which I expect to succeed at beyond all expectations… Drum roll, please.
My resolution is to purchase a book written by an Australian author each month. This doesn’t mean I’ll review the book within that same month, but I will as soon as I can. I will also be purchasing my books from bookshops.
Unlike giving up chocolate or losing five (or ten) kilos or learning a foreign language or any of the other ridiculous resolutions I usually make, I expect to be enormously successful during 2020.
