Marianne, could you keep your eye out for The Jacaranda House by Deborah Challinor for me please? Thanks. Somehow I missed when it was released August 2020 and I can only find extremely expensive copies online.

It's already there Helen - remove the dashes between the numbers and search using the ISBN (which I did and found it) Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto

Just remember to use a solid number, not broken by dashes, and if it's in the system, it'll show up. If not, go to our Librarian thread and one of us can add it to the system for you :)

[Helen]

Thanks Brenda will do I appreciate your help

Bought from various charity shops whilst on holiday in Cornwall:-

The Horseman and The Wanderers by Tim Pears - been on my buy/borrow list for some time - now just need to find the third book in the trilogy;
Don’t Tell Teacher by Suzy K. Quinn - new author to me - this one looks really creepy!;
Mr Wilder & Me by Jonathan Coe - had to buy this as it's by Jonathan Coe;
I Was Jack Mortimer by Alexander Lernet-Holenia - intrigued by this one - new edition of a 1930's novel apparently;
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi - not usually my genre but sounded interesting.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't heard of any of those Kim! Hope you enjoy them all :) And hope your holiday was great too!

[Kim]

Thanks Brenda - yes we had a lovely relaxing fortnight of just chilling at lots of new little coves and bays we discovered whilst driving around the countryside!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds like a perfect holiday Kim :)
