Just back from a day in Hornsby...had to take a friend for appointment there...and discovered they have a huge Berkelouws Bookshop there, who'da thunk it eh?? So naturally I couldn't say no to a browse after a lovely lunch at same ;))
....and also couldn't resist the urge to buy (after much indecision and culling) these two from my most wanted list:

One by Patrick Holland love the cover!
and

Just having a book hugging moment! :D

Well done Jools! You were forced in there weren't you;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I received from the publisher today Karly Lane's latest, Second Chance Town and purchased from Big W Tricia Stringer's latest, Dust On The Horizon :D

That particular Berkelouws also has a great second hand section out on the walk way. There are treasures to be had there:)

Oops, that one isn't actually a download. My mum gave it to me. She said it's very good.

It definitely is!

Congrats Dale!!! Hope you video'd that happy dance;)

Well done Dale. That's a great win.
I got a lovely surprise in the mail today too, which I wasn't expecting. Received a copy of Playing with Fire from the author. Thank you so much Sharon. I look forward to reading it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

You'll enjoy that one Elaine:) I love the cover too, don't you!

[Elaine]

I'm sure I will Brenda. Yes I do like the cover although I just realised it's the first of Sharon's books not to have a female on the cover but it is very effective.

I love the vibrancy of the red rose on the darkness of the cover:)

[Elaine]

It's actually a male in armour holding the rose. Well I think that's what it is. Did you notice? It certainly is an attractive cover and would stand out on the shelf.

[Dale]

It is a stunning cover and a very good book. Enjoy Elaine!
No chance of me videoing any happy dance Brenda.

I think you're right Elaine! I saw the armour but didn't realise it was a person... didn't look properly!

Haha! Know what you mean;)

I just splurged a whole 99 cents and bought an anthology of 16 paranormal romances Shifters in the Spring: 16 Brand-New, EXCLUSIVE, Stand-Alone Paranormal Romances by Jacqueline Sweet et al.

Now try and figure out if I count it as one book, or sixteen!

[Andrea]

I've been looking for some books suited to young ESL students, so yesterday I spent a lovely couple of hours sitting on the floor in my favourite Salvos shop choosing these books:

and The Secret of the Sneezing Pillow

and to round it up to $10 I picked up this interesting little book too:

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice picks Andrea :)

[Marianne]

Today the book whisperer was on her way home from Merimbula (more about that in the general chat thread tomorrow) and, after stopping in Moruya for coffee, her sweet, kind DH pointed out the local Salvos and Vinnies (he had previously worked in the town).
All These Perfect Strangers for $4 and
The Mountains Have A Secret for $3 were the result.

Then, popped into the PO before getting home to unpack where there were three parcels of books:

The Bones of Grace and Wasted: A Story of Alcohol, Grief and a Death in Brisbane from Text

Fool Moon and Grave Peril and Summer Knight from a BookMoocher in the US

Britt-Marie Was Here and Where the Trees Were from Boomerang.
I love the cover of the Inga Simpson book but I wish it was the same size as her other books :(

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Marianne - at least you didn't have to fit it in luggage for a flight home;)

[Marianne]

After a visit to Mum, the book whisperer popped into Mission Australia on the way home:

for me: Vengeance in Death $2

for Veronica: Holiday in Death $2 and
Brotherhood in Death $4

once again, my title is safe for now....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I just received an email to let me know I've won The Fireman by Joe Hill from Goodreads First Reads giveaway :) My first for awhile!

[Marianne]

Lucky girl! I was hoping....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm thrilled! I only entered it last night:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Perfectly timed Leonie! :)

[Suz]

I went and had a little hour browse at the very cool Lifeline store at Camden that Jools took Carolyn and I to last year..

I spent $32 and all but one on my TBR. Which is not bad for me!

My fave Flesh Wounds
Running with Scissors
I Know This Much Is True
Push
A Man Called Ove
The Usual Rules
A Walk to Remember

and lots from Harlan Coben:

One False Move (double up, oops! Thought I'd scanned it on the app)
Shelter
The Woods
Darkest Fear

last but not least, for Indy I spy Dad!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Suzanne!

[Veronica ⭐️]

Great win Brenda and some good pick ups there Suzanne.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Veronica:)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Great shopping all!! ...so I'd better wait until they restock before going back eh Suz? ;)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Congratulations Brenda :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Jools :)

interests me - have popped it on my wish list - has a nice bright cover too - which is just what I need for my 2016 Aussie author challenge - so I have to buy it!!! ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Get it from NG Sally:)

[Marianne]

BTW, Brenda, I saw an In Death book you were after yesterday, $2 (maybe Strangers?) but the edges were quite foxed, so I didn't get it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's OK thanks Marianne:)

[Marianne]

OK, not actually acquired yet.....

After I read Libriomancer (bought from Brotherhood Books) and Codex Born (borrowed from the library), I thought I wasn't going to get to read the rest without $$ outlay, but I emailed the acquisitions at the local library and offered them my copy of Libriomancer (they only had Codex Born) if they would order in the next two in the series. Heard nothing back. Oh well.

Today, checking out my reserves at the library, I notice that Unbound and Revisionary have been added to my list and are on order at the library: Yay!!

Might have to wait a while, but eventually.....
