Recently Purchased/Acquired book/s - part 2 Showing 651-700 of 6,891

[Sally906]

I received an unsolicited ARC The House Between Tides by Sarah Maine in the mail yesterday.

Then a couple of free eBooks mysteriously got sucked into my eReader:
The Christmas Mail Order Bride by Kit Morgan
Blueburied Muffins by Lyndsey Cole
How to Train Your Knight by Stella Marie Alden
Firefly Hollow by T.L. Haddix - (this was a lucky freebie find because it is for an upcoming book discussion)

Then I picked these up from the library:
Happy People Read and Drink Coffee by Agnès Martin-Lugand
The Reluctant Detective by Martha Ockley

So not a bad 24 hours of book acquisitions :)

[Marianne]

Yes, I noted which branch of the library has those Martha Ockley books that Dale has reviewed: on my to do list for next week.....

Look forward to seeing what you think of this. That would have ben a great author event to attend Veronica.

My sister was very impressed and bought copies for everyone.

We will have to think about when to do that....."

I have been - it just hasn't progressed beyond that ;)"

I've been thinking too.. I have three weeks off but if not so soon for the group I will try and catch up with Jools if possible!

[Suz]

Oops I popped into Vinnies and Anglicare (but forgot to do what I went out to do. Shooosh..).

Anlicare for a dollar Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and The New Manhood: The Handbook For A New Kind Of Man by Steve Biddulph.The library for 20c What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn. Also picked up a mini Jamie Oliver book.

My Vinnies has never been too cheap. $2-$6 when I compare to Anglicare every book for a dollar and library 20c for fiction and everything else a dollar.

I saw number 13 today Dead Ever After for $1 let me know if it's needed Marianne :)) I scanned it on my phone so I can confirm it's this edition.

[Marianne]

Thanks, Suzanne, I have that one.

[Nicole]

A friend sent me a copy of Katherine Susannah Prichard's , Haxby's Circus originally published in 1930 apparently part of the story is set in my part of the world - NW NSW.

That sounds fascinating Nicole, many Aussies have some family history connections with the circus's that travelled all over this country for eons as they took on workers wherever they stopped.

[Elias]

Just picked up Armada by Ernest Cline and Darkest Place by Jaye Ford. Really looking forward to getting stuck into them!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Darkest Place is brilliant Elias! IMHO ;)

[Elias]

Sounds good to me! I've heard a lot of great things about Jaye Ford and can't believe I've put off buying some of her titles for this long!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

All her books are great, and this one is her latest :) Enjoy!

[Elias]

Thanks! I will!

I love swapping and lending books with my parents, Keira, it's good to talk books with them :)

[Suz]

In the mail courtesy of BD via Booko, arrived Life Hacks. Handy little life hints! If anyone has heard of the website it's based on that. My TAFE teacher came across it at his library and it looked good.

It is fun. My dad isn't a reader, but loves DVDs, so we are always making fun of each other over which is better. (Books, because there's more detail. Lol)

[Elias]

I was in the mood for a light snack so I decided on picking up another one of James Patterson's "Book Shots" - Zoo 2.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Make sure you add it to your "to read" shelf Elias ;) And I'll be curious on your thoughts when you've read it too!

in the mail today from Text:
For the Term of His Natural Life by Marcus Clarke which I am sure I already have somewhere in Mount TBR...

I’m Supposed to Protect You from All This: A Memoir by Nadja Spiegelman

and (woohoo, yippee!!) The Satanic Mechanic: A Tannie Maria Mystery by Sally Andrew

Another batch of hijackers to the TBR, LOL, but I will certainly enjoy the Tannie Maria book

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good on you M :)

[Marianne]

Yep, I knew it!!
now I have For the Term of His Natural Life by Marcus Clarke the Text Classics Edition and

For The Term Of His Natural Life by Marcus Clarke the A&R edition.

The Text edition is 511 pages, the A&R, larger pages and even smaller print 657 pages. I wonder if the Text version is abridged...

I will give it a go, but....might be a DNF
