I picked up my copy of Look Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich - has been a long wait as I put my name on the hold list a couple of weeks before it was released!!!

Not reading it straight away as I have a few books ahead of it - but looking forwards to it

Also picked up Saving You by Charlotte Nash which a few of you have read and praised. So I'm set up for a while :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I really enjoyed Saving You Sally :)

Thought I’d share that I just bought Olivia Newton-John’s memoir in hardcover at Kmart on clearance for $9! ON CLEARANCE. Since when do books go on clearance?!

[Marianne]

Well, I'm back from our Hornsby get together, and I think I came back with as many books as I took there.
What with swaps and a mystery book, I can tick off a few wishlist books, although I wasn't lucky enough to score The Cottage at Rosella Cove, like Brenda did!
Melt
The Book Ninja
The Gulf
Goodwood
The Purity of Vengeance
A Stranger in My Street
A Month of Sundays
Louis & Louise

Kmart have been having book clearances lately. I’ve had people posting piles of book on Facebook saying they were only $4 & $5 each. I haven’t been lucky enough to see any though.

[Veronica ⭐️]

From our meet-up
The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham
Lawson's Bend by Nicole Hurley-Moore
a good one for the cover challenge but I’m not sure now whether it’s blue or purple :p

Well done! That's a bargain.. Kmart often have books marked down quite cheaply :)

All good things come to those who wait:

Nine Perfect Strangers $3
The Last Of The Bonegilla Girls $3
Shatter$3

and then collected another Mick Herron fix from the library: This Is What Happened

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great pick ups there Marianne!! And thanks - I'm sure I will!

[Carolyn]

Netgalley members - I just picked up a copy of River of Salt by Aussie Writer (and musician) Dave Warner as a 'Read Now' from Netgalley.

If you're thinking of joining Netgalley, 'Read Now' books are a great way to start to build a profile. You don't need approval from the publisher - just click and download, write a review before publication and once you've done a few try asking for books that need approval (make sure you've reviewed over 80% of your downloaded books first). Just be careful not to download too many to start with!
