My visit to the library yesterday scored Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor (at last) and Say You're Sorry by Michael Robotham. Then I visited QBD and bought The Late Show by Michael Connelly

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Owl and Phrynne :) Love MC's new one Phrynne; I'm sure you will too!

Got my hands on a couple good (I hope) books:

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine
Come Sundown by Nora Roberts
Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy

[Li'l Owl]

Excellent Sally!
One of Us Is Lying sounds similar to the movie, The Breakfast Club, gone terribly wrong!


Happy to say my library has it

[Kylie]

Ooh lucky ladies winning from giveaways! Lots of you picking up lots of books for me to investigate (and highly likely add to the TBR pile!)

Picked up my library book which I had on hold today River Run by Nicole Alexander.

Also at work today one of my colleagues left some books for anyone to take to have a read. One of these was Forgotten by Nicole Trope

And finally, I got a gift card to spend on books for my birthday, so I chose to use it to try to trim down my wishlist on Audible. (I bought these on the weekend.)

I bought these:

Frantic by Katherine Howell
Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica
Dying in the Wool by Frances Brody
Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection by Arthur Conan Doyle
Cherringham: A Cosy Crime Series Compilation by Matthew Costello
Cherringham: A Cosy Crime Series Compilation by Matthew Costello

:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh well done Kylie! Good one getting Forgotten :)

[Li'l Owl]

Nice list there Kylie! =o)

[Carolyn]

I just pre-ordered (Book #3 of the Illuminae trilogy) by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff from Book Depository! It's not out till March 2018 so it's going to be a long (but worthwhile) wait!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That's called being keen Carolyn. I might just go and do that myself.....

Wow! Good for you! Don't forget you've done it though and order it down the track from someone else ;)

[Carolyn]

That is the danger Brenda! I don't think I've ever pre-ordered a book this far in advance before!

I do keep a list of books I buy - it helps with challenges and keeps me to a (sort of) budget but I still sometimes manage to end up with both a paperback and ebook version!

[Carolyn]

Why not Phrynne? You know you're going to buy it anyway and the price looks good!

As long as you have a semblance of control Carolyn ;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That describes me beautifully Brenda - I usually have a semblance of control.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha!!!
