Congrats Julie. It sounds like a good read.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh thanks peeps :D

[Veronica ⭐️]

Not a book but book related. I opened my letter box today and there was an envelope from Robin Hobb. I was so excited I could hardly open it. It was a card and a signed bookplate. I'm over the moon.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow that is amazing Veronica!! How exciting for you :)

Nice Jools! I'll bet that must have been the wish you made when you blew out the candles on your birthday cake last month! Hugs xx

Here's a shocker! Just passed the 1,000 books in my library to the tune of 1,002!
Newest additions on Kindle include:

The Woman Next Door by Cass Green
See Me Not by Janelle Harris
Small Things by Joe DeRouen
Dark Crimes by Michael Hambling
Lethal by Sandra Brown
The Killing Game by J.S. Carol
Hold Still Lisa Regan
The Girls Next Door by Mel Sherratt

Thanks to the friends who have liked and/or recommended some of these! Like I really need any help finding new books I want to read! As you can plainly see I'm very impressionable, not to mention incorrigible!
Now I'd better get my beak in the books!

Congratulations Owl! Now you'd better start reading fast! Lol :)
You've definitely got some goodies there to keep you interested, you could do a good challenge with all of those choices.

Yep! =o)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Owl, my challenge to you is to buy no more books for a month - and read as many as you can to reduce that TBR before you buy again ;) Do you think you can do it??? lol

That sounds like an excellent challenge Brenda! Pick your own Owl :D

[Li'l Owl]

Sounds good to me! I've got a bunch lined up that I am doing for March that I'm really excited to read! The books I've read so far have all been really, really good!
I just started my 4th for the Love challenge. =o)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Another one in this morning's post The Fifth Letter by Nicola Moriarty with many thanks to Carol Reading Writing Riesling and Harper Collins :)

Wow! Some excellent books there Owl but I agree with Brenda time to start reducing that kindle library!
PS. Most of us on this site share your problem :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!

[Sally906]

Squeeeeeal! Just got an ARC of Talk Of The Town by Aussie author Rachael Johns!

So happy!

I also got contacted by an author and asked to review her latest release Autumn's Dance by another Aussie author Sarah Gai - she has previously written chick lit, this is her first branch into romance.

LOL! That's really funny Marianne!
I see I'm not the only one getting some new books lately! =o)

[Li'l Owl]

Speaking of new books, cough, cough

I got some in my mailbox this weekend, too! I say some because I've got more coming.. =o)

(I'm ecstatic about this one as it wasn't easy to get!)

Thanks mates for the recommendations!! Yea, like I really need help! =o)
No such thing as too many books!!!

[Li'l Owl]

Oh! I almost forgot! I got one of two dictionaries the other day! Still waiting for the Aussie slang one, which is coming soon so don't think you'll get away with talking in code mates!! I'm all over it!

The Macquarie Dictionary of Australian Colloquial Language by Arthur Delbridge AA

You'd be surprised how many Aussie dictionaries are written by non Aussie authors. Now that just seems silly!

[Veronica ⭐️]

I won a copy of Watch Over Me by Claire Corbett in the Goodreads giveaways.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Veronica!

[Marianne]

Lucky you Brenda, I'm on the waiting list at the library but I think it will take ages like always. I think South Australian Libraries have gone backwards with their reserve system!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I just purchased Ragdoll on kindle because although the library has bought two copies they are not on the shelves yet. It cost me ten dollars but that's still cheaper than a book:)

Had to buy it after reading yours and Carolyn's reviews!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope you like it as much as we did! But it was exceptional IMO :)

That should keep you busy for a little while :)

I'd put myself on a book buying ban, but since I have zero self-control, I've recently purshased the below:

The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir (I pre-ordered this when it was released, but I wanted the hardcover so it matches my hardcover copy of the first book in the series)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done :)
