You working on a theme there Brenda? Do you have sisters? ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! When I saw the second one approved I immediately thought - didn't that get approved this morning??? Hahaha!

A BIG book day Marianne. When are you putting that extra room on? :)

[Marianne]

Oh Veronica I won't need it once I give you your nine books ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Haven't you looked in your "book room" lately Marianne???

Haha, they are mounting up again.

Brenda wrote: "LOL! Haven't you looked in your "book room" lately Marianne???"

Yes, Brenda, I am in there every day. And I managed to secret these away in there so you'd never know there was anything extra. But Veronica's books (and yours and Julie's) are sitting boldly on my desk because I can say to DH "oh, they're not mine, they're for Veronica and Brenda and Julie."
You can fool some of the people (and of course I am fooling me here, LOL).....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Of course we're all very good at fooling our other halves aren't we;) And ourselves!

I recieved my recent win, a limited edition copy of A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald
The cover is beautiful

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice Veronica!

[Suz]

Everyone is doing very well! In the mail today, I received Choosing Xaverique by local Aussie Karyn Sepulveda. This looks very good, actually. With many thanks to Tracey from Carpe Librum and the author.

I also purchased this one for the kids and myself , for $3 at K-Mart, didn't realise how new it was so it was a bargain for HB.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Congrats on your win Suz!

[Marianne]

$1 for Brooklyn at Mission Australia Thirroul

I just purchased The Road less Travelled By Scott M. Peck. It was written in the '70s and I'm sure I read it at school. I've always loved the title which was taken from a poem (cant recall poet) 'I took the road less travelled and that has made all the difference'. Anyway I've always loved the premise, that life is hard and that once you accept that truth things will get easier. My other recent purchase is The Dress by Kate Kerrigan, really enjoying it.

Even though it is Sunday, the book whisperer supported Mission Australia:
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams for $2
cover damaged but pages fine, and I didn't have this one from Stephen King, the master story teller, yet

[Marianne]

this is the haul from the book whisperer's Tuesday Trawl:

All from Salvos
The Redeemer $3 which completes my Harry Hole set (now I just need to get around to reading them!!)

Ashley Bell $4

and Rush Oh! $3 (this might be a good one to take with me when we go to Merimbula, as we will be going to Eden one of the days!!)

and in the mail today from Text, Dead Men Don't Order Flake which looks like a fun read.

[Christine]

There is just so many of them! I am having a great time looking for them and I just bought #3 & #4. Love the artwork on the latest editions.

[Marianne]

oops, I accidentally bought a book at Mission Australia in Thirroul where the books are all $1 unless they are outside in the tubs, when they are even cheaper..... Dead Connection because I did enjoy Alafair Burke's The Ex. Pleased to see it's the first book of a series as I hate coming in halfway.

Also picked up my reserve from the library The Beast, latest in this addictive series.

[Carolyn]

I love those accidents!

[Suz]

Everyone's been doing well, whilst I've been quiet on this topic. It's a good thing, of course. I did pick up a [very scruffy] copy of The Last Child, a new to me library which I think aren't fussy about the quality of their paperbacks!

[Marianne]

Well, it is Tuesday, and even though the book whisperer is on hols she supported Salvos and Uniting Church (DH is VERY tolerant!!)
Cooking the Books
The Alphabet of Light and Dark
And Kraken
$1 each

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Glad you girls had a good time. I love book swapping.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

How lovely that you were both able to catch up Elaine and Mish :) Nice you did the book swap too...great titles!

[Elaine]

Thanks Veronica and Brenda. We always have a good time when we get together and yes it's always nice to be able to share our love of books.

[Suz]

So great you ladies got to catch up, as Veronica said, love a catch up and a book swap. I'm long overdue to meet the lovely AR Sydney members :(

Yes they are Michael and Mish did say that you got her onto them. I've just liked their FB page so will definitely look at their stuff. The one Mish got me was lovely. I wish I could add a photo here the same way you do on FB. Oh well.

This was just a one on one catch up Suzanne but I know Mish is planning our next Vic get together so can't wait for that. It is lovely meeting all these wonderful people who share your passion for books. Sorry Brenda....kind of hijacked this thread. I'll stop now and post in the appropriate place. :D

[Sally906]

My copy of Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman slid into my ereader this evening - beside myself with excitement. As soon as I've finished my current reads it will be front and centre!
