You're welcome :)

Received from Book Depository today (after sitting at the post office for a week), Return to the Little Coffee Shop of Kabul and The Woman He Loved Before.

[Suz]

Bought my daughter for her birthday. She's hot heirs of books as I buy a lot of YA, but like to give her one to unwrap :)

"hot heirs"? did your autocorrect do something funny to your post?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I couldn't work it out either Marianne!

[Elias]

Got heaps?

[Elias]

Autocorrect can really rework your sentences.

In the post yesterday - from BookDepository The Dark Side of the Street by Jack Higgins

One of the co-authors of this series, Jess Black, was one of my tutors for a writing course I did several years ago.

[Marianne]

I dropped in at the library on the way home from my grocery shop to collect two reserves:
Precious and Grace
and The Bertie Project (which will go to Mum first, then come back to me)

Wow that's pretty awesome!

Indulged in an audible subscription on Saturday. I love 'reading' my favourites on audiobook while I'm doing stuff. Bought The Black Prism by Brent Weeks and have been really enjoying listening. I always find that I hear little things that I might have missed when I read.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good on you Leonie :) I wish I enjoyed audio :(

I love it. Driving, exercising, housework, gardening....

Me too Leonie. Certainly makes those activities a bit more exciting. I love it for re-reading favourites too. Nothing like listening to Jamie Fraser from Outlander to make cleaning the bathroom marginally more appealing :)

So a visit to Salvos.
Secrets Of Whitewater Creek
Legacy Of Hunters Ridge
Purple Roads
Nowhere Else
The Wildwood Sisters
The covers are all uncannily similar.

My granddaughter picked Cinderella and
Disney's Aladdin because she lubs Aladdin

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow Veronica! What brilliant pick-ups - all Aussie too :) The first two are really good... actually the only one I haven't read is the last one but I own it!

[Veronica ⭐️]

I was happy to see the Sarah Barrie ones as I haven't read her yet.

Nice and suspense filled with a touch of romance - typical romantic suspense!

Ah the new book - be interested in what you think I must have been the only person in the world who was not a huge fan of Burial Rites - loved the setting and the history but the characters just didn't come alive for me. So will probably borrow this one rather than buy :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I received in the mail today from our lovely Leonie Rogers, my hard copy of Frontier Defiant and beautifully signed :) Sigh... I can't wait to put it on my bookshelf with the other two :)

[Marianne]

Lucky girl, Brenda! It's who you know....

That's what I thought too Leonie! A pity mail from Melbourne to here wouldn't be as quick ;) I was going to email you tonight to let you know...guess I don't have to! LOL Many thanks!

That series is coming along, Brenda. I should have realised that and bought for Cody's birthday. I'll buy them for him now as we don't at all go overboard. I'm glad I saw your post :)

[Suz]

Bad wi fi here on hols but I did buy a few good books at Salvos and Vinnies. A few from my tbr and wish lists. Favourite of which was Room, The Things We Keep and Ten Conversations You Must Have With Your Son. I loved browsing ON MY OWN. Oops didn't mean to yell ;)

[Marianne]

thought you had Room already, Suze?

You can pick them up from Big W for $10 Suzanne :)

[Suz]

Marianne wrote: "thought you had Room already, Suze?"

Mmm, I think Carolyn was going to give me a copy but couldn't locate it (sound familiar?! - I've done that many times) and I recall taking it on and off my list many times after reading different reviews. Ended up deciding to put it back on.

Yes, I think I've gotten mine from there, and Target and Kmart for Cody. I'll have to ask him what he's up to.
