Pre-ordered
Fatal Mistake by Karen M. Davis =o)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm looking forward to that one Owl :)

[Li'l Owl]

Me too! I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't offered on Audible audio book like the first two but I'm happy to be getting it just the same! =o)

Fantastic Phrynne :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I ust picked up from the library The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett and Every Last One by Anna Quindlen - both for challenges. And received from Penguin Random House No Job for a Girl by Meredith Appleyard

[Marianne]

In the mail today from Allen & Unwin, The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre

and then the book whisperer supported Salvos and Vinnies:
Crazy Love You on Jools wishlist-s $4 and
for me because it looks like a feel-good read, and who doesn't need one of those now and again?
The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs $2.50

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oooh thanks Marianne :D

[Carolyn]

For any Netgalley users Michael Robotham's The Secrets She Keeps is 'read now'.

I've just downloaded it even though I don't need any more NG books for June/July!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Carolyn!!! I requested it and was declined, but this is another edition!!! I have it now!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Thankyou Carolyn:) I just went and got it too.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yay! I'll still get a physical copy but I'm thrilled to have this one :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I had vowed not to go near Netgalley until I had caught up with all my outstanding stuff. Bad Carolyn tempted me!
Must admit I love that Read it Now section for the occasional free book:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's hard to be strong when they offer so many good books though :) And that's the best part of all - no requesting and maybe getting knocked back! lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've just discovered Forgotten by Nicole Trope is also read now :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Stop it!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!!! I had to have that one ;)

I'm not supposed to be looking for new books either Phrynne! I just popped in to check on my previous requests and there it was on the home page! As Brenda says, I had to have it!

[Carolyn]

Brenda wrote: "I've just discovered Forgotten by Nicole Trope is also read now :)"

No, no, no Brenda! I won't be tempted. I cannot fit in any more books next month! I'll just have to buy this one later :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Be tempted Carolyn..you know you want to ;)

[Li'l Owl]

LOL!!!

Silly sausage ;)

[Li'l Owl]

That's a new one on me Brenda! Lol!

[Li'l Owl]

Just picked up Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin from the library. =o)


It'll be fist up for June.

[marlin1]

Thank you to Carolyn from me too. Luckily, I won Forgotten from Bookstr before all the who ha, so I don't need to be tempted by that one!

[marlin1]

Oh and if any one wants to be tempted by Netgalley more... The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey is also now up. Seems like it's an American edition though and you have to request it.
I did enjoy it when I read it recently (another Bookstr win)

[Marianne]

in the mail today from Bonnier:
The Student

and also, yesterday the book whisperer heard of a new Vinnies. It's in town, paid parking grrr, but because guacamole mix sachets were on offer at Aldi, went to pick some of those up and walked up to the main street to this unseen Vinnies.
Hmmm. just one shelf of books, but let's not be too hasty judging!
I picked up a couple of Jim Butcher Dresden files books and some others, and at the counter, the lady said "Oh I have the whole series of those out the back"
So I came home with all these for $2 each:
Death Masks
Turn Coat
Cold Days
Ghost Story
Proven Guilty
Blood Rites
White Night
Dead Beat
all in excellent condition, some look unread
plus
Strangers on a Train
and for $1 Moonlight Becomes You: Crimes for Summer #06
I'm very pleased with my haul. I will be going back there!!!

[Marianne]

now just missing Skin Game, I Was a Teenage Bigfoot (Dresden Files #07.2, Backup, Love Hurts

[Diana]

Great score Marianne!

[Li'l Owl]

Oh! I hope, I hope I get Scared Yet? by Jaye Ford in the mailbox before I leave for my trip to Wyoming on June 11th!

in the mail today, from Bonnier ublishing, won in a comp, The Recorded Poems Of Och Aye The G’Nu book and CD by Jimmy Barnes plus an extra CD, not sure if they're the same but they look different...
I think this might be good for diversion on the way to Goulburn on Saturday, let's see if DH agrees ;)

[Marianne]

[Marianne]

picked up my library reserve today: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

Crimson Lake $4
The Burial Hour $4
The Fifth Letter$3
and for DH, who loves Nigella Lawson, Nigella Bites: From Family Meals to Elegant Dinners -- Easy, Delectable Recipes For Any Occasion $2 so he can drool over the author and the food, LOL

I had the most gorgeous covered book delivered yesterday by the publisher. It's an uncorrected proof and slightly different to the final cover picture - The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club by Sophie Green

On my cover it's like an invitation

You are warmly invited to The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club (with a corella perched on the "g" of meeting)
Sunday, 25th June 1978, Ten o'clock.
RSVP to Sybil Baxter - ask the operator for "Fairvale"

And on the back it has a map of the Northern Territory with directions to get there:

Take the Victoria Highway from Katherine, drive for about an hour then look for a wooden sign saying "Fairvale Station"

#fairvaleladies

Three different types of Australian flowers peep in at the edges :) It's gorgeous!

[Leonie]

Sounds lovely, Brenda!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It is Leonie, I like my cover better than the final one!!

[Marianne]

It sure is!

[Diana]

That is a beautiful cover. Added to my 'want to read' list.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Just had delivered from Hachette AU The Paris Wedding by Charlotte Nash and Secrets Between Friends by Fiona Palmer

[Dale]

Wow! Lucky you with your three recent books via the publishers.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Dale :) Pretty happy!

[Li'l Owl]

Picked up 16th Seduction by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro with my Audible audio book credit!
In addition I just got two books I've been waiting quite a while for in my mail box!
Scared Yet? by Jaye Ford which I'm going to start right NOW
And
The Weight of Night by Christine Carbo This is the third Gretchen Larson series that are set in Montana's Glacier National Park. I'm going to read the three books when my dad and I go to our cabin in Wyoming. I'll be reading more in the C.J. Box Joe Pickett series set in Wyoming, too! I'm sooo excited!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Owl!
