Lucky you Brenda! You must have been a very Good Girl lately ;)
I've pre-ordered it from Amazon so will have to wait for publication.

Collected my reserve The Mammoth Book Of Best British Crime 8 from the library (borrowed solely for the Alexander McCall Smith story therein) and perused their sale table. For the princely sum of $2, came away with Five Bells, The Rebel, Froi of the Exiles and Quintana of Charyn

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I love the library book sales Marianne!

My new ebook purchases are Six Minutes and The Suspect. One of my new reading challenge is to read an Aussie new release in the month it was released. So this month I chose Six Minutes mainly because it is set in Canberra. If I didn’tlive in Tassie, I would live in Canberra

During the school holidays I picked up two free books from RACQ for the Premier's Reading Challenge. There was a choice of books and my son chose We're All Wonders and I chose Fearless Frederic for my teenage daughter. I'm going to read them both too!

Did you get to meet Anh Do, Brenda? I'm so curious as to what he's like after reading The Happiest Refugee!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

He's lovely Krystal. I met him a couple of months ago at the Civic Theatre here in Newcastle where he did a show. He was funny, compassionate, caring - a wonderful human being :)

Ah that's so cool! He strikes me as a pretty decent human being. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes it was great! Then when I saw his new children's book (which my granddaughters will love) at Booktopia, AND the fact that it was signed, I couldn't resist! lol
