Oh well done Brenda! Are you going to read Echoes straight away or savour it for a few days first?
I feel like the book whisperers apprentice today :D I supported Vinnies at the Shire and got:Conclave by Robert Harris for DH.
Fearless by Fiona Higgins
Flight of Dreams by Ariel Lawhon
Death and the Running Patterer by Robin Adair
Total $19 very happy with this lot...and so is DH as I was supposed to get him that one for Christmas but couldn't find it under $32!! so he didn't get it :))

Thanks Phrynne! And no, not straight away. I have it in the February challenge though so not too long!

Yep...must confess they are slightly dearer but excellent condition and still cheap for newly released, and for a good cause too ;)
It was a lot cooler over there today than what I have become used too here...can't wait for next summer! ;))

Oh yeah can't wait...we found out just before Christmas that the Aircon here doesn't work...we've been sweltering! Hence trips to the Shire just to get cool ;)
Hoping someone will be here this week to fix it.

Oh well done apprentice! Keep it up and you'll be THE Book Whisperer!
I'll be the book whisperers barn owl. I'll sit in the rafters and be a guardian to her horse. Found a several books that look really good. Again, since I'm just a little owl, I don't have access to the Amazon.au site so I'll have to leave it up to my Aussie friends to see if they are available there. =o)

That's no good at all Jools, in this record hot summer. Hope it's fixed soon. In the meantime there are lots of good movies on at air conditioned cinemas :)
I received an email overnight from Bookstr (weird name!) for the first time in AGES and I've won a copy of A Hundred Small Lessons by Ashley Hay which I'm thrilled about!
Congrats on yours Jools! And there's also a giveaway on this one too - Marianne (on your wish list) and others! Aussie author :)

That's no good Jools! So sorry to hear about your little dog. I hope you can get the aircon fixed before the next heat wave on the weekend and make your little pup more comfortable.
