Okay, thanks :)

[Deb]

Brotherhood books? *wanders off*

*wanders back* Oh dearie me! I did need to know that, but oh dear, the potential.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I see what you mean about slow Marianne.... round and round!! Still I ended up with 3 (the last was hard to choose as the one I wanted wasn't there!) And Black Friday discount was a nice surprise too!!

[Krystal]

I'm in the love/hate camp with this new info lol, I wandered off to check it out, discovered a musketeers-related book I'd never heard of, looked up the author, ended up adding another ten or so books to my TBR XD It's a bit of a rabbit hole having rare, old books on there! My weakness!

So thanks I guess? Haha

[Kerri_M]

Wow, I had totally forgotten about Brotherhood Books. I got a bunch of old kids books there, trying to recreate my childhood library.

Good to know it wasn't just my computer... maybe they were busy because of the discount

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Perhaps that was so :)

[Marianne]

Collected my reserve The Pursuit of William Abbey by Claire North from the library

[Andrea]

I'm so impressionable - I bought into the whole Brotherhood Books Black Friday thing (still on today!). One cookbook I've always wanted and two others for a personal challenge for next year.

But, Andrea, you're donating to charity! And think how lovely it will be when they arrive on your doorstep :)

In the mail today from Text, a lovely little hardback in the Don Tillman series: Don Tillman’s Standardized Meal System: Recipes and Tips from the Star of the Rosie Novels
and from Harper Collins, The Paris Model

[Sharah]

I feel very lucky....I received Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine from Whimn Book Bar, The Siberian Dilemma from S&S and Hideaway at Hawk's Landing and Rescued by the Marine from HarperCollins.

[Marianne]

My Brotherhood order just turned up:
The Arrival
A Decline in Prophets
The Woman in Blue
all for a grand total of $18.80

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good job :)

[Marianne]

the book whisperer was very happy to support Salvos with the $3.50 purchase of Becoming

and then picked up You and Me and The Silver Dream from the free library locker
and bizarrely, an email from Brotherhood books saying they had refunded me $5. Might be because the Shaun Tan book was listed with a Bonus DVD which wasn't there. Not that I contacted them about it or anything....

That's a great bargain Marianne! $28 in Big W (cheapest I could find) consequently I read my copy from the library!

I was very pleased when I saw it. I've had my eye out..... I guess my book whisperer title is safe for now :)

I went for that Amazon offer last week, where you spend $20 and get $5, so today I spent my $5 on:

I only had to chip in another 3 cents!

Oh, and the original $20 went on There Was Still Love and Tiger

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]
