I will have to check our library for this - I didn't know about this one.

Did you know that Ruth Park was married to D’Arcy Niland of The Shiralee fame?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes I did Sally - some fascinating history wrapped around those two :)

I received a copy of The Lost Girls in the mail today too, even though I had already received it as an Arc along with two others a while back.

Exactly the same with me, Dale. Looks like they made the mistake more than once..

[marlin1]

The Lost Girls by Jennifer Spence came today for me too.
I didn’t win an ARC and was desperate to read it. Happened to come across it as an library ebook and loved it! Know work friends who would love this book, so a great one to pass on.
Luckily I wrote a few words at the time about how much I loved the book. Don’t always do that unless it’s a review copy

[Andrea]

I've just received The Lost Girls too. I'm pretty sure I didn't request it, and it doesn't sound at all familiar, but I think it's going to be right up my alley - love a bit of time travel.

[Marianne]

Collected my reserve from the library, another dose of the Kopp Sisters:
Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions

[Carolyn]

The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan (author of The Keeper of Lost Things) is currently 'Read Now' on Netgalley.

[Kim]

by Molly Murn picked up from the library today. It's endorsed by Hannah Kent and Alex Miller so it wasn't just the pretty cover that attracted me :D

[Marianne]

In the mail from Simon & Schuster this morning:
Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga
and at Salvos for $2.50 The Cleaner

[Carolyn]

I thought Brenda would like to know I've got my first Aussie book with a woman wearing a hat on the cover (from Netgalley)

Something in the Wine by Tricia Stringer

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Carolyn - I picked it up a couple of days ago :)
