Picked up The Farm by Tom Rob Smith solely based on the blurb, which had me hooked. Looking forward to getting stuck into it!

I have had that on my TBR shelf now for so long it is embarrassing. Let me know what you think of it.

For the past few weeks, it's been one of those books that I've repeatedly taken off the shelf, considered and then put back again. If it wasn't for that blurb, I probably wouldn't have grabbed it.

Loved The Tea Planter's Wife! I have found I really enjoy her writing :)

I do that often also and usually end up buying the book in question.

I end up buying the book as well. It can frustrating at times when you do decide to buy it but its no longer in stock!

[Veronica ⭐️]

Lol yes, I know exactly what you mean.

[Marianne]

woo hoo!! My QBD order came today. It will be VERY hard to resist this one: The Kept Woman ..... finally back to Will and Sara :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Woohoo! Well done Marianne :) I'll have to keep my eye out for it in Big W :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Woohoo! My delivery of White Feathers and Blue Smoke by Deborah Challinor just arrived!!

Plus from Hachette Australia - Hamilton Hume: Our Greatest Explorer by Robert Macklin

[Niamh]

I "bought" Another Together by Lauren James for Kindle for free on Amazon AU this morning, and finished it by lunchtime (it was only 50 pages).

I also went to a different Book Grocer, but this one was also having a sale where every book was $6. I bought All Our Yesterdays and Weightless.

(I should not have bought 5 books. I need to somehow get these back to Perth... I think I have enough room in my suitcase...)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Well done Niamh :)

[Niamh]

Also, forgot to post that I was given a copy of The Naked CEO: The Truth You Need to Build a Big Life, by the man himself Alex Malley! He was a guest speaker at the conference I went to in Sydney, and gave us all a free copy of his book (or the organisation bought them in bulk, either way it was free for me)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice!

[Elias]

Just picked up Devour by L.A. Larkin and The Last Place God Made by Jack Higgins. Very excited to read them!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice Elias!

[Marianne]

just walked in the door with nine books: one is a return from Mum to go back to the library; the rest, well, at least DH wasn't here to see me bring them in!

So, today's book whispering:
A $15 bag at Salvos meant a $2 discount on this bunch
The Other Side of the World
An Isolated Incident
Salt Creek for Carolyn
The Darian Richards' Crime Files : Promise and Dead Girl Singing
(and I bought Promise on Sunday but this was only $3 for two books, effectively, so if anyone wants Promise I'll bring it in August)
and Rich & Rare

then at Vinnies
A Sudden Light $3
an ARC of Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All $3 and
The Hidden Child for $2.50

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Here you go Marianne - The Darian Richards' Crime Files : Promise and Dead Girl Singing and great job!

[Marianne]

Thanks, Brenda, you're a handy woman to have around :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Thank you ;)

I'll have Promise Marianne. If no one else has bagsed it.
Salvo's sell bookcases too, can you sneak a couple of those past your husband. :)

[Marianne]

It's yours. Veronica.
LOL about the bookcases, yes I know, but sneaking in a few books is easy, sneaking in a bookcase.....

[Veronica ⭐️]

Thanks Marianne.

Yes recommended by Phrynne so I decided to add it :) I don't mind if you can get me a copy - but only if you can be bothered! I have **plenty** to read ;) Thanks!

[Marianne]

Oh, do you? What happened to "never enough books"??

I will look for a copy in very good condition, there are a few about so...

I received Your Perfect Life by Liz Fenton after a rec from a girlfriend, but I really must stop buying as there's no reason I can't request my library purchase it :) Better World Books through Booko.

[Carolyn]

Liane Moriarty's latest Truly Madly Guilty was released today and has downloaded to my kindle :)

[Marianne]

Can you resist that for long, Carolyn? Will it be a TBR hijacker?

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Marianne wrote: "Can you resist that for long, Carolyn? Will it be a TBR hijacker?"

She has to wait until August as do I . We both have it in our August challenge:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I think you can all resist for 11 days! lol

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It will be hard:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

lol! At least it's not another In Death that you have to hold off on ;)

I'm not looking at Netgalley at the moment but people keep posting great books. And this one is on my wish list too.

[Marianne]

On the way to look for my new laptop, buy new contoured pillows and an electric toothbrush (one out of three success rate :( ) I visited some charity shops:

Vinnies The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Omnibus 2 $2 and
The Midwife's Confession $1

Salvos: Long Gone $3 and
A French Wedding $4

I did have a second thought as I posted it in my August challenge but I still have July challenge books to read so it will have to wait. I just have pretend I don't see it on the kindle until August 1st!

I've not been looking (much) either Veronica! But I figure when it's on my wish list, I should get it :)
