well done: nice welcome home!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks it was :) Hubby likened it to Christmas!

[Elias]

I wonder how long the list will be when Christmas does arrive :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Probably very small Elias - I rarely receive books as Christmas/birthday gifts as my family knows I get them at other times :)

Well done Marianne!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I was tickled pink yesterday to receive a hardcover edition from Penguin Random House in the UK of The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83¼ Years Old by Hendrik Groen - I read and reviewed from NetGalley and received this as a thank you for that!

Then today I was equally thrilled to receive Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult from the publisher :)

[Marianne]

Ooh, jealous on both counts!

[Carolyn]

Well done Marianne and Brenda!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Nice work Marianne and Brenda! :)

Today I got an email from TRR telling that I had won: The Claimant: The extraordinary story of the butcher who said he was a baronet By Paul Terry

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Jools!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just landed on my kindle, my preorder of Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews. No one is to talk to me for a few hours while I get it read:)

[Noelene]

Waiting for me on the doorstep was Fearless. If you didn't win a copy first time around new competition listed last night. Plenty of copies. Good luck everyone.

Oh lucky you Brenda with the Jodi Picoult one. I would love to read that one. I tried to win it from TRR but to no avail. Enjoy!

Today from my library, I bought 5 books for a dollar. They had done a HUGE weed.

Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult
At Home With the Templetons by Monica McInerney (TBR)
The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes (who knew about this one, had never heard of it)
Morning Comes Softly by Debbie Macomber
Getting even with Fran by Christine Stinson (TBR. This may be a double up, haven't checked yet).

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That last one by Christine Stinson is fantastic in my opinion Suz!

Have just picked up a copy of Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman from the library as there have been a few raves in the group about it - at over 500 pages you know that is a rarity for me so must really appeal to me - LOL!

Popped into the library at lunch and The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware was there on the new shelf! I hadn't even put a reserve on it because I thought the queue would be too long so thought I would leave it till next year.. But there it was!!!

[Veronica ⭐️]

That was a bonus Michelle.
