I won a copy from Goodreads back in September. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Great writing and great characters. What other books by Sebastian Barry do you recommend?

[Margot]

Looking forward to Thomas Keneally's new book Crimes of the Father
Have reserved it from my library.

I'm waiting for the reviews to come in - but then again people raved over Burial Rites and I did not like it

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've finished and loved it! Will be writing my review sometime soon :)

[Marianne]

Bouquets to Allen & Unwin for their efficiency!
Yesterday I got an email from TRR saying I'd won The Slow Waltz of Turtles by Katherine Pancol. Today, it arrived in the mail!
I love this cover, BTW
Now I have to get the first book in the series from the library.....

[Marianne]

Interested to see what you think of this Marianne as I didn't really like the characters in The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles

[Marianne]

An Education
Burn, and Other Stories
Silver Linings
Skeleton Man
Mirror, Mirror which has the J.D. Robb In Death short story Taken in Death
Kittyhawk Down and

The Mountain Shadow by Gregory David Roberts $4 & Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz $9 from Target

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I did one of them once Veronica - lasted about a day! lol

Haha. I'm being very strong. Unless I see a great bargain.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good on you! I wish you luck :)

I remember saying this to myself as well...until I came across many bargains.

It's in the fine print. " You must not by more books, unless they are a bargain." ;)

The Margaret Thatcher School of Beauty $2
and this The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles I was going to borrow from the library before reading the 2nd book of this series, but there it was for $4 so....
The Stranger $3 and
Lugarno $1.50

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You've done well once again!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I picked up Lee Child's latest today - Night School :)

[Veronica ⭐️]

Believe it or not I've never read a Lee Child novel. They look awesome but I can't start another series just yet. Too many series and not enough time.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I know what you mean Veronica :) I have all of them and am up to date - just like the In Death series :)

you're not alone, Veronica, and for the same reason. So many series look good, but my TBR is already too ridiculous for words!

[Veronica ⭐️]

So jealous of your reading ability Brenda.

We will get to them all one day Marianne.

But I'm sure there'll be different series that you've read that I haven't Veronica :) :)

A trip to the Shire this morning brought good fortune in the form of two unexpected book finds when I found myself perusing the book shelves at Vinnies ;)

This one was a real good surprise as it is on my "to be owned" wish list Between a Wolf and a Dog by Georgia Blain $4!

Also a book I was unaware of by this author: Ruth Park's Sydney by Ruth Park $4

So I am well pleased with that trip :))

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow good for you Jools!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Plus from the library Island Home by Tim Winton

My copy of The three Miss Allens has gone missing - the publisher is trying to locate it through Aussie Post!

Have had trouble before and publisher emailed me to see if I had got it which is how I knew it had been sent.

At least eBooks can't get lost in the mail!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No - flick the wifi on and there it is!! lol I had a few of those appear when I turned it on yesterday too :) Hope your missing book appears soon :)

[Marianne]

collected my reserve from the library this morning: The Heart of Henry Quantum

[Elias]

It was good to see Cross the Line by James Patterson on the shelves at Big W today and even better to see it on my own shelf at home :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Really??!! Thanks for that Elias :) I'll be getting a copy next visit!

[Elias]

Yeah, I first saw it at Abbey's Bookshop in the city this morning but later found it at Big W for half the price.
