I've been approved by Netgalley for The Fragments by Aussie Author Toni Jordan (Text Publishing, 20 Sept).

Should be a good one to add to the Red section of the Colours annual challenge :)

Will have to check them ..."

I think you'd enjoy them - light and entertaining, set in Australia.

LIFEL1K3 $3 and
Bleed for Me $3"

I was thinking Lifel1k3 might work for the Orange section of the Colours challenge. What do you think Marianne - is the cover 50% orange or too brown?

[Marianne]

Carolyn, my cover only has a tiny bit of orange, but the honeycomb one, Tin Eye can't find any orange at all, lots of brown :(

I just recieved an ARC from S&S byTodd Alexander

A loan from my neighbour of by Charles de Lint - an author I am very fond of.

there is a cyclone coming, I should take advantage of that and read this weekend.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just received from Simon & Schuster The Woman From Saint Germain by J.R. Lonie I really like the way they've done the cover with the black and white background, and her coat and hat the deep red. It's quite stunning :)

And I had a naughty splurge this morning - my first in ages!! (and I'm trying to get rid of books!)

The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff
The Chef by James Patterson
Never Tell by Lisa Gardner
The Wedding Guest by Jonathan Kellerman

I left one other there that was asking me to pick it up ;)

[Suz]

Looks good Brenda, sometimes it's hard to resist!! Wonder how the Lisa Gardner title goes?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Carolyn loved it a day or so ago :)

[Kylie]

My neighbour just knocked on my door, a parcel for me at number 7 (clearly marked) was delivered to him at number 2. Good postie hey!
It contained The Woman From Saint Germain by J.R. Lonie
My thanks again Simon & Schuster :)

[Suz]

I received today from A&U Losing the Plot but on the picking slip it mentions Hunter that was not in the package! Hopefully it arrives separately as it is the most anticipated read for this year for me :)

It was a great day. I’m not a huge romance reader but Kelly Rimmer, Jodi Perry and Alli Sinclair were there so I was happy.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't read Jodi's work but enjoy Kelly and Alli's. So yes, it would have been worth it 😊

Leverage in Death was a good find.

[Marianne]

I thought so too :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I received The Gift of Life by Josephine Moon from Penguin Random House yesterday :)

[Sharah]

Brenda wrote: "I received The Gift of Life by Josephine Moon from Penguin Random House yesterday :)"

You are so lucky! I love Josephine Moon's books.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Sharah :) I haven't read any of hers yet. I have two here though - three now ;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Marianne wrote: "I thought so too :)"

The Stranger Diaries was an even better find!!!!!!!!!

[Marianne]

Yes, Phrynne, considering it's last year's, but maybe the library can't stock it if it's got water damage. Doesn't bother me though, it's not much or smelly or anything.
I have most of her Ruth Galloway books, on the strength of one Christmas freebie, but still to get to them....
and have read two of her Stephens & Mephitso series.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm sure I will too Dale :) Thanks!

Thank you Diana. I don’t read much romance ,besides Rural romance, but the day out was a lot of fun.

[Krystal]

Lost my phone this morning so naturally to make myself feel better I went book shopping!

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman (which has finally been re-released in a much more convenient size)
and
Halcyon by Rio Youers

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Did you find it again Krystal?

[Marianne]

Brenda wrote: "Did you find it again Krystal?"

What I was thinking too...

[Krystal]

Brenda wrote: "Did you find it again Krystal?"

I was told the police could track it with a serial number so I swung by the local police station after work today. They couldn't actually track it but guess what was hanging out in their lost property!! Couldn't believe it!! Someone handed it in!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow! That's awesome Krystal. You'd be happy about that 😄

Fantastic news Krystal :)

[Krystal]

Absolutely stoked, I feel very lucky! The best part is the couple who handed it in left a few selfies for me to remember them by XD

Haha! How cute :) Did they leave a contact number for you to thank them?

[Krystal]

Sadly no but I'd say they live in the area so who knows what fate has planned?!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You never know what will happen! I'd say you did well - new books and your phone back :)

Should also mention on the way home from the police station I picked up another ARC at the post office!

We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal

So all in all a much better day than yesterday! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Excellent :)
