and then the book whisperer supported Vinnies and Salvos:

An Empty Coast just $1
Cockroaches $3 and
an ARC of Mercy Street for Jools next swap (yes, I know it's not on your wishlist-s but it was cheap)

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Thanks Marianne ;) I actually won this on a goodreads giveaway in December but haven't yet received it...I have notified them.

I made a donation to the brotherhood for Easter and three books have been despatched to my address today...I might see them as early as tomorrow :D

Suz | 4426 comments At TAFE they are weeding (not really sure why to be honest). Therefore many free books up for grabs, fiction, non fiction and reference. The one I was scratching my head at was this.. Last Woman Hanged that my girlfriend picked up. I was kicking myself for missing that one! Why are they getting rid of this?! No one had borrowed it so I really don't think they are doing much fiction lending..

I picked up these:

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story
The Blackwater Lightship
Midwives
Everything Is Illuminated

Must be soon time for a swap meet ;)

Nice haul Suz, shame you missed out on Last Woman Hanged
but you still did very well ;)

Is it a bad thing that I get so many books?


message 117: by Jenny (new)

Jenny Schwartz (jenny_schwartz) Okay. I have to stop envying Kiera her awesome reading :) I just picked up Shelly Laurenston's latest paranormal romance. Sexy and violent, but fun! The Undoing (Call of Crows, #2) by Shelly Laurenston

and a quick mention - Brenda's recommendation of Accidentally Istanbul Decoding Turkey for the Enquiring Western Traveller by Nancy Knudsen was great!

Lol no, it's just easier to follow the posts (on ipad or phone) when you leave out that many cover pics... :)

No not all! I think we are in awe of your abilities to keep on getting new ones!


message 132: by Suz (new)

Suz | 4426 comments Good searching everyone. I'm good and have nothing to report, enjoying seeing how everyone else has been going. I'm yet to look at Brotherhood. Perhaps it's not a bad thing!

I feel I have to rescue them, B! Some very good books they are getting rid of. I even picked up The God of Small Things and gave it to friend from my course as I own it.

Booktopia have it for $19.50 Brenda so I should think it would be somewhere around that..no more.

That's why I'm asking Jools as I've been looking at it all day and thinking that Big W would be cheaper;)

It's a hard cover copy so I don't think it would be much cheaper if it is, but if you are close to a BigW worth a look.

I'll be interested in your thoughts on her work as Pamela Freeman as it's completely different to her historical fiction I think:)
