I had a mini-splurge this weekend restocking my kindle (not that it needed it!):
Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly by Adrian McKinty,
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater,
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff,
The Golden Child by Wendy James (excited about this one with everyone saying how good it is!)

I've also ordered a paperback copy of Gemina :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Carolyn! I looked at Adrian McKinty's latest but figured as I haven't even started the series yet I'd be better off waiting!

You have some great books there though :)

[Carolyn]

I've still got Rain Dogs in paperback (signed by Adrian) to read next so I won't get to the new one for a while, but it was a good price.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good price! And that's exciting :) I know you like his books so I'm sure I will too :) I have slotted the first into an upcoming challenge ;)

I see there's a giveaway for this one - and it's set in my city! "One hot, wet summer" - well, this summer hasn't been so wet, but the hot part is about right, and I'm wet with sweat, so... However, I'm not complaining - there are other parts of the country that are hotter than here at the moment!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Yes this summer is DREADFUL!!!

[Kathryn]

The books I won in the Australia Day giveaway from Carol Reading Writing and Riesling (https://readingwritingandriesling.wor...) arrived today!

Skin Deep by Gary Kemble
Ida by Alison Evans
Resurrection Bay by Emma Viskic
Le Chateau by Sarah Ridout

And, although it was a 4 book giveaway that I won, there is a 5th book in the post-pak! Ghost Girls by Cath Ferla

Thanks, Carol!

I don't think I should borrow any more books from the library for about a month after my current loans go back! I think I've got enough books here to see me through until April!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Kathryn!! I loved Resurrection Bay when I read it last year :)

Ooh, well done, Kathryn, I've read 4 of those and they were all good!

[Dale]

Congrats Kathryn.

[Kathryn]

Thanks, ladies - I'm looking forward to reading them, and am going to make sure they aren't lying around for 12 months or more before I get to them (or at least, I hope they won't be)!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Always good intentions Kathryn ;)

[Suz]

Very lucky to have won this from Carol's Reading, Writing and Riesling blog! The Golden Child . I'll be reading it asap! Thanks Carol :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Suzanne :)

[Marianne]

The Steel Kiss $4 on my wishlist
Kinslayer for $2 couldn't leave it behind.... :)

[Suz]

Not only does Marianne whisper so effectively, she remembers who she needs to whisper for. Amazing ;)

[Sally906]

Yesterday I picked up my copy of The Golden Child by Wendy James up from the library - am expecting high things from it :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

A wonderful book in my opinion Sally :) Enjoy!

[Sally906]

Was your review and another trusted friend's review that convinced me to try it - have never read Wendy James before :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks :) She has some great books out there. She lives here too...

[Elias]

Just picked up Crimson Lake by Candice Fox. Been looking forward to this one for a while.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

NetGalley has it as being published 6th April - that's why I haven't read it yet!!!!

[Elias]

Does NetGalley often publish books later than the release date?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No, quite often it's earlier!

[marlin1]

Brenda wrote: "NetGalley has it as being published 6th April - that's why I haven't read it yet!!!!"

I wonder that it's a later date on Netgalley because it was listed by Random House UK, so most likely UK release date?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That could well be it Marlin. I'll have to slot it in sooner than I was going to though I think...

[marlin1]

I've just receiced an email from Bookstr to say I've won a copy of The Missing Pieces of Us by Fleur McDonald.
Looking forward to this one : )

[Veronica ⭐️]

Yay Marlin! That looks like a great read.
