I need to look into this, Jools..
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 ;)

I'm lucky to be able to browse almost every day! My friend is very nice and she'll lend it to me. I remember you'd read it :)

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

B the BookAddict wrote: "Suzanne, you did very well in your haul.Kiera, that's a mammoth amount of books!"
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.

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

Yes it is - having watched the video that Jools showed us the other day, I thought it'd be lovely to have...

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