Just went to the library to pick up Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls - can’t wait 😊

[Marianne]

the book whisperer supported Salvos today:
Property: A Collection $4

[Carolyn]

I received Going Under by Sonia Henry from A&U in the mail today :)

I also bought Hope Never Dies (an Obama and Biden mystery) by Andrew Shaffer just because it sounded such a bizarre idea for a mystery!

I'll be interested in your thoughts on the Obama and Biden mystery Carolyn - you're right.. could be weird :)

I've read the Obama/Biden one. It's lots of fun if you don't take it seriously. Miss those guys!

[Sharah]

I just received Night Fishing from A&U.

[Sharon]

Just received Going Under by Sonia Henry from A&U

Give the Devil His Due by Sulari Gentill in available for request on netgalley, publication Jan 2020. It's #7 in the series so I've got a few to read before then!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That would be a re-issue I think Carolyn as I've finished that and the next, with only #9 to go which was published earlier this year (I think) or perhaps late last year :) Maybe it's the US release?? Don't know, but thanks!

[Carolyn]

It's Poisoned Pen so probably is a US release. I was wondering why #7 was being re-released but that would make sense. I posted it in case others like me still reading the series might are interested in picking it up. I've only read two so far....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ahh fair enough. I wish I had lots more to read! One to go is sad :( Phrynne has read them all so she's worse off! lol

[Carolyn]

lol! You'll both just have to find another series to devour until #10 comes out (next year?)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ha! I know I have plenty and I'm sure Phrynne does too ;)

[Diana]

From the library today
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - a few chapters in and I am hooked
The Sisters Brothers
Denton Little's Deathdate

[Marianne]

A freebie from Thirroul Street Library:
While You Were Reading
In the mail from Text Publishing:
This is How We Change the Ending
and a library reserve:
The Mammoth Book Of Best British Crime 6 for the Alexander McCall Smith story therein.

[marlin1]

The Breeding Season by Amanda Niehaus received from A&U today.
I initially wasn’t going to request this one but I recently read Wintering by Krissy Kneen and loved it. She quotes on the front of the book and says it’s rare and magical....so I chose it. I love books that make you feel that raw emotion, so I’m hoping this is one of them.
I secretly was hoping for Going Under by Sonia Henry but seems I may have missed out. Oh well, it’s on reserve from the library, so I’ll read it eventually.

Sounds like a great weekend!! Some great pickups there!

[Deb]

This morning, on my AM walk to the beach before work I pcked up two ARC books at the post office; by Amanda Niehaus from A&U

by Robyn Harding from S&S

I am really excited about both books, but a little freaked out because I have two books already on the go and am flying out in a fortnight.... I may have over-committed!

Incidentally! Suzanne - how did you manage to bring up the correct book cover for The Arrangement? All I could get was this red one, and GR did not recognise the ISBN even....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Deborah, if you give me the ISBN I'll sort it for you :)

[Margot]
