Ditto. I'd about given up on it. Maybe Silver, one I was really hoping for, will turn up too....

This is under the Pan Macmillan Australia banner....I can’t recall them being on Netgalley previously unless it was a number of years ago. Hope they continue on there :)

Michelle Prak (prakky) I'm in the process of adding books to my Christmas wishlist. It's such a hard list to write! There are blockbusters that I'd love, like The Testaments by Margaret Atwood, but then I want to support other authors too. So I'm tweaking the list every day or so!

Oh lucky you. Love her books and I had even pre ordered this on Kindle but for some reason its been cancelled. Not sure why because its not unusual for publication times to be pushed out.

And me! You have to wonder, though, about their postage costs. I got an A&U book yesterday as well, could have gone in the same parcel.
Also from Bloomsbury Australia, Such a Fun Age

Same Marianne. Two separate in two days. Not exactly cost efficient. But long as. We get them we shouldn’t complain.
