Memoir/Biography/History: 2012 releasesThe other day when the tally of literary books was posted, Text publishing tweeted that their biography of Elizabeth and Mary Durack by Brenda Niall should have been included.
Should more nonfiction titles be regarded as "literary"?
The follow is a list of books reviewed for the AWW challenge during January-June.
Disclaimer: If there are errors with release dates, please let me know - reprints make it difficult to judge original publication dates on publishers' websites.
