I was totally thrilled to receive a parcel from Hachette a little while ago. In it was Echoes in Death by J.D. Robb, Right Behind You by Lisa Gardner and A Sunburnt Childhood by Toni Tapp Coutts

Gobsmacked about the first two!!!

Oh well done Brenda! Are you going to read Echoes straight away or savour it for a few days first?


message 1960: by Jülie ☼♄  (new)

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments 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 :))
