You're welcome Andrea, and I'm still so excited that you brought me back a bookmark from Ecuador. I promise to treasure it always, so thanks a million for your generosity!

I'm very happy that's it a good read as well as a favorite cover! Wouldn't have been happy if I couldn't buy the book just because of the cover! Would have been a perfect book for our read by the cover challenge, wouldn't it!

LOL! I don't think your losing it just yet, Carolyn! LOL

I really enjoyed the second Georges Gorski book by Graeme Macrae Burnet, The Accident on the A35, so now I have borrowed from the library the first book of that series, The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau

[Suz]

This book is amazing 200 Women: Who Will Change The Way You See The World written by Ruth Hobday.

I picked up my copy from the library, I think I may be the first to borrow it. I've shown it all around work, and have asked we add it to our collection. I'm buying it for my daughters, as are other friends at work.

It's less than $40 AUD free post though Booko. Such a nice looking book!

I looked into this one - looks great - my library has it on order so have reserved it. Have a few weeks off work over Christmas and the new year so hopefully it will be in before then and I can read it then. Lots of individual stories - so can pick up and put down.

Dale, I think I reserved it at the library after reading your review...

[Dale]

It was supposed to be happening a while back when the new shopping centre was built and a number of us were at meetings supporting it. But then it was canned in their wisdom and all we got was a Woolworths and some other shops.

[Dale]

Well, hope you now enjoy it Marianne,

Woolies? Boring!

[Marianne]

I just used up a lot of Boomerang bucks and ordered 9 books. I'll list them here as they arrive. All wishlisters :)

You didn't already buy Two Kinds of Truth did you?????

[Marianne]

See, I knew you'd get Year One! Who needs netgalley?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Phrynne wrote: "You didn't already buy Two Kinds of Truth did you?????"

Yes I did! Only a couple of days ago in Wagga! lol I'll just take it back and be able to get another when the need arises :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Marianne wrote: "See, I knew you'd get Year One! Who needs netgalley?"

Haha! It still puzzles me - ebooks HAVE to be cheaper for the publisher than a "real" book!

[Dale]

Wow! Some haul Brenda.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes it is Dale :) I was pretty excited to see it all!

[Carolyn]

Nice selection of books there Brenda (well done on Year One!)
Don't ever go away for a really long trip or you won't be able to get in the door for books when you get home!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hahaha! This one was long enough! Think it'll probably be our last really long one :)

Holy Cow Brenda!

What a great haul!

[Li'l Owl]

Wow! I'm always happy when a book comes in the post!
You must have been doing a tremendous happy dance, Brenda!

this sounds good, Brenda =o)
Nice cover

[Deb]

oops, I did it again... bought another book when I haven't finished the ones I already have.... this time it was The Barefoot Investor: The Only Money Guide You'll Ever Need by Scott Pape

Thanks Sally and Owl :) Very happy!!

[Sharon]

Wow that's a huge haul, Brenda. Now the big decision is which one do you read first. Exciting to receive all those books, but do you feel a little under pressure knowing they are from the publisher and they need to read in certain time frame?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes! I do Sharon :) But I'll try to read them in date of publication order, though a number of them are already published :) Nevertheless, I'm sure to enjoy them!

[Odette]

Just picked up Come Rain Or Shine by Tricia Stringer set in South Australia from the Library.

Great selection of books Brenda 😃
I’d love to read Two Weeks 'til Christmas by Laura Greaves but seems it’s not on the radar of my libraries yet. I’ll just patiently wait......

Ooops, it wasn’t on the library system when I checked last week but seems there are a couple of copies there now. Just put on a hold on it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh that's great Marlin! Perfect time for it too :) I'm looking forward to it!

Wow that's quite a haul. Do you keep all your books once you've read them or do you pass them onto others or donate to op shops?
