[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I am heading off to the QBD sale with a $100 voucher in my sticky paws.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done everyone!! Some excellent books there and oh Phrynne, what fun you'll have with that!!

[Sharah]

Enjoy book shopping Phrynne! I received two books for Christmas She's Out from my husband and Feeding the Birds at Your Table: A guide for australians from my sister.

Yesterday my brother and I went to a Balinese bookshop. My brother bought an Indonesian cookbook for friends and I bought a kids travel guide to Bali for my great nieces and great nephew who are travelling here in 2020. I also bought a copy of Where the Crawdads Sing as my online book club is reading it next and the number of reserves at the library are crazy.

[Gloria]

Received QBD vouchers for Xmas totalling $130, what to buy? 😍

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow! Have you got to use it soon? Or can you spread it out?

[Niamh]

I was given an inscribed copy of Customer Service Wolf : comics from the retail wilderness by Anne Barnetson (a local author for me - she works at my local indie bookshop, hence the inscribed copy) as a Christmas present. Very relatable for anyone who has ever worked in customer service of any form, but mainly retail. A quick read when you have a spare hour. Also received a couple gift vouchers for Dymocks, totalling $120. Same as Gloria, what to spend it on?!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And won't you have fun!!

[Gloria]

Can spread it out hopefully Brenda but will check out everyone’s top 10 for extra inspiration

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Happy shopping Gloria :)
