Me too Brenda, I enjoyed her others."

That's exciting Marianne. I still have not read this author.

[Marianne]

The physio is across the road from the library, so on the way home I dropped in a DVD and collected my reserve: A Distant View of Everything :)

Still waiting for my reserve for that to come up Marianne:) In the meantime I borrowed The Bertie Project as an audiobook. It is so good. The narrator is a well spoken English man with a talent for Scottish accents. Very easy listening:)

[Marianne]

Yes, I thought you'd have this one on reserve!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Of course:)
Although I do have a few back numbers I have never read in the Bertie series I think I am totally up to date with Isabel

[Diana]

Never got into the Isabel series but do love the Precious Rambotswe books. Close to up to date on those. I saw Alexander McCall Smith at the Writer's Festival one year; such a lovely man.

[Marianne]

the Bertie books are "must own" for me, although I do wait until they come out in paperback. But then, so are the Mma Ramotswe and the Isabel Dalhousie books.

I had a discussion with a a Scots lady once who corrected my pronunciation of Dalhousie: Dal hoo see

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just picked up 16th Seduction and The Black Book by James Patterson

I have seen him speak a couple of times and he is such a nice man. Very clever too.

I've been going back and forth with The Black Book. I might check it out. It's always interesting to see him write something that isn't part of a series.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I think it sounds good Elias :)

[Diana]

I op shopped The Secrets Of The Chess Machinetoday ($2.99) it is described as a book for those who liked Perfume by Patrick Suskind so I thought I'd grab it.

[Marianne]

in the mail today from the nice people at Bonnier Publishing, The Hot Guy by Mel Campbell and Anthony Morris
a colourful cover

[Michelle_Mck]

That looks like a funny cute book Marianne

[Marianne]

I'll let you know when I've read it, but I liked the sound of it.

Weird but good Ellie. I enjoyed it very much. You need to like weird though:)

[Marianne]

Surprise from Allen & Unwin for me too, I thought it was another unannounced Bookstr win, but instead, a win in their Get Hooked on Charity Norman competition. So a copy of The Secret Life of Luke Livingstone. After a quick look, I don't think I have this one, but until I do my TBR tidy up I can't be certain.
But hey, it's always nice to win a book!!!!
If I have it already, it will be because someone gave it to me at a swap meet. Then this one might end up as a Mystery Book at our next get together.....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That book was FABULOUS Marianne! One I still haven't forgotten, even though I read it ages ago. Well done! A keeper for me, so you didn't get mine ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I picked up Skylarking by Kate Mildenhall from the library, and when we arrived home I found The Traitor's Girl by Christine Wells waiting for me. I'm very excited about this one!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

The Thirst by Jo Nesbo from QBD today. Another Harry Hole book! Hooray!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Phrynne!

[Suz]

That's good Phrynne. You've reminded me I need to keep going with this series :))
