I had my first Big W experience when I was in Perth last month. I wanted to buy some books for my two sisters birthdays and couldn't believe there were so may good books for $16 each. They were very happy with my purchases (plus some salted caramel Lindt balls!)

I've just bought the Hannah Kent's The Good People for my kindle. I was going to wait for the smaller versions of the paperback to come out (hate the large versions- too heavy for bedtime reading) but then decided I couldn't wait any longer :)

Where did you get Who Killed The Bride? Butterfly House #1 from Veronica? I like the sound of that but can't find it anywhere, as a paperback or ebook.

For some reason I'm tending to like ebooks these days, much more comfortable to read in bed and I can carry my Kindle in a smaller handbag!
