Love my bargains, Danielle. Although, I really cannot beat Anglicare where books are one dollar!

That would have been FUN!

Sounds good, Marianne. Still haven't read [author:Patrick Ness, but did buy my daughter A Monster Calls for christmas, so must change that.

[Suz]

Went back to the Gloucester community bookshop today (seem to do this when Indy goes to sleep) and picked up three more for $5.

Postcards from the Edge and
Surrender the Pink by Carrie Fisher
Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby - wasn't on my list but Marianne rated in 5 so I thought why not!

Then I was given this from dad's library The Death's Head Chess Club by John Donoghue so I will read that now. It's become a tradition now, I've realised, dad borrows a book for me from the library, and I read while here (Barrington) or if we go to the beach.

lucky girl! I didn't...

Hiya!
I'm enjoying the first Medair Series Looks That Deceive: A Medical Thriller by Braxton DeGarmo.

Got the first one for Christmas. Only $3.99 each on Amazon Kindle. I'm not going to add it into my SERIES challenge for the Aussie crime group because I've no idea when I might read them! Maybe this year?

Also, after catching the great reviews of the D.I. Kim Stone series, I now own them all. I did add them to my challenge. =o)

Quite a few of you gave it great reviews, so how could I resist? Had a little money left over from Christmas and got them for $3.99 each on Kindle, which is pretty reasonable, I think. Looking forward to reading them. =o)
I am thinking positively that I can do the 2017 personal challenges I set myself up for! Here's to winging it!

Home from my little holiday, and waiting was a Goodreads win Rock the Boat by Aussie author Claire Rye, complete with pen and a little note on author stationary, very nice. Thanks Claire!

How am I going to find time to read now?!

[Andrea]

Isn't it lovely?

[Marianne]

[Carolyn]

I'm looking forward to it Marianne :)

[Marianne]

during my travels today, looking at care facilities for Mum, I managed to drop into Vinnies and Salvos:
Finnikin of the Rock $1.50 for Leonie
The Gospel of Loki $5 for me

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just finished The Gospel of Loki Marianne. It was good. I got mine free from the library though:)

[Marianne]

I checked upstairs and I have Runemarks and Runelight too. when I retire, I will never run out of books to read.... :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I need to get Runelight
I agree we will never run out of books. When I retire I might just go inhabit our lovely local library. It even has a coffee shop outside and free wifi , What more could I ask for?

[Leonie]

What a great library! A coffee shop, wifi and books. All the good things.

Wow! That's an awesome library - I might join you in that one ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Woohoo!!! My parcel lady just delivered Cast Iron by Peter May - now I'm like Carolyn - I didn't realise it was the conclusion to the Enzo Files! Of which I have #1 to read, and haven't read any others!

[Marianne]

Ooh, you lucky girl!! I have all the others, but haven't read them yet...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I thought I was too Marianne! I have #1 on my kindle as there was a freebie on some time back. But the 2-5 are over $8 on kindle so they'll stay there!

[Marianne]

oops, I lied. I checked, and I have 1,2, and 4. Should the book whisperer look out for 2,3,,4,5 &6 for the moderator?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No thanks Marianne. I'll wait to see if I like it first :) Thanks all the same.

[Deb]

I so did! we were there for about five hours with a break for lunch... Walked out with 30-40 new books, all for under $100. Managed to pick up some presents for friends too - though not for the Brisbane meetup next weekend :)

[Elias]

Just picked up Pendulum by Adam Hamdy

Sounds like a great day and now you get to sort through all those new books and add them to Goodreads. The fun never stops!

[Marianne]

the book whisperer was very pleased to come home with The Chemist for $4 from Salvos. I have read this but it was a library copy, and quite a few in my little local book club will enjoy it.
Also The Playboy's Ruthless Pursuit for $1, another bedside read.

I was lucky to get Crimson Lake by Candice Fox from Netgalley last night.

So a heads up to Netgalley users that it's there (via Random House UK, not Aust!)

I hope you get it Brenda, I was quite surprised when I was approved within the day.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks...so do I :)

[Lea]

Wonderful surprise in the mail this afternoon - I won a giveaway Looking forward to reading and reviewing. Just a couple of others to finish first. Lea

It did read pretty well as a stand-alone Brenda, but it might be good to read #1 first since you have it so that you'll have more of the background and get to know some of the characters.

[Carolyn]

After many, many refusals I have finally received an approval on NetGalley from St Martins, for Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens. Just shows you should never give up! Now I just have to work on Hachette...
