Zoey  (rozannen) | 1045 comments Started my Xmas shopping on Saturday (very impressive early start for me) by buying this for my husband Dane Swan My Story by Dane Swan
We are still lucky enough to have some lovely Independent Book stores down here & I do like to support them when I can, but what can you do when the book store has this book "on sale" for $40 (save $5) & you walk around the corner probably less than 200 meters to Target & they have it $25 normal price. That's quite a difference that my budget sadly cant ignore.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments In the mail today:

from Text, a couple by Elizabeth Haynes: Human Remains and Revenge Of The Tide

from Echo, a new series for me to add to my challenge:
Olmec Obituary and Mayan Mendacity by L.J.M. Owen

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments the book whisperer bought a book for DH today:
Leonard Cohen: A Remarkable Life for $2. Got home, he said, oh is that different to the Leonard Cohen book I already have? LOL, it wasn't!! At least it was only $2. Vinnies can have it back unless someone wants it at a swap meet.....

The Good People by Hannah Kent
The Dry by Jane Harper, and
St Kilda Blues by Geoffrey McGeachin
The new book by Fiona McIntosh, The Chocolate Tin is in transit so not far off.
As the books always seem be ready at the same time regardless of where I was originally in the queue, will be busy reading over the next couple of weeks!
