Hey Esther! I just finished it recently! It was okay. I really loved Alice from this author because it was dark and twisted, so The Mermaid was a little too tame for me lol. It's got some interesting themes and characters but it wasn't quite as twisted as I was hoping for.

I have been seeing on Facebook, everyone’s great discounted books they have picked up from their local post office so thought I would check out mine.
I bought Something in the Wine by Tricia Stringer. They had lots of cheaper books too but this was one I’ve been wanting for a while.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Veronica!! I enjoyed that one :)

Having got my Acquired-unread bookshelf down to under 100, I went to a local second hand store and swapped some old books for store credit. I just could not help it, and now I am over 100 again..


I have read some of them before, but not for a long time and they are difficult to get one's hands on. So I could not resist.
