Oh these aren't old library books. They have a donation bin all year round where anyone can..."


What a good idea!

I have borrowed about 20 items from work, so I think everyone will be bored if I keep listing them. I take books home nearly everyday. Silly thing is I am reading the least that I have in a long long time :(

[Veronica ⭐️]

$6.50 each isn't as cheap as Vinnies but they are books I've been searching for so I'm happy :)

Now you can get all the wonderful books you want and you're too busy to read them. Isn't that always the way.

My brotherhood order arrived today

H is for Homicide by Sue Grafton

Master's Mates by Peter Corris

I have been following Peter's posts for sometime now he doesn't usually talk about his books but he has a good sharp wit and I find I agree with his thinking more than not. I haven't actually read any of his books and on hearing that he had written his last book I thought i had better remedy that. So I'm really looking forward to my fist Cliff Hardy novel.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

They improve over the years and publication in my opinion Veronica :) Well done on your selection!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]
