Some great titles Owl! I particularly loved The Quality of Silence - in my top 5 reads for that year :)

[Krystal]

I am starting to see where your name comes from, Owl!

Just picked up today from the Library.

Force of Nature by Jane Harper

I had reserved this and came up very quickly!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope you enjoy it Odette :) I've got it coming up in the new year :)

[Marianne]

In the mail today from Bonnier, a surprise but looks like a good read: The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Aussie author, Heather Morris.

And on my regular Tuesday charity shop crawl, because I really enjoyed Jack Heath's debut adult novel, I spotted his first ever book The Lab for $1.50 at Vinnies, so why not!

[Marianne]

Collected this The Medical Examiner reserve from the library for a quick read

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I treated myself to Oathbringer today. Well I was buying presents for everyone else so I got a little one for me too:) Actually it is not at all little. For a book it is very,very big!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

1243 pages - sure is a "little" one ;P

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

It is a little long. And can I add that the print is small as well!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL!! You'll have to cover three parts of a challenge with it ;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I think it is in at least two challenges:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I wish you all the luck - and enjoyment - it's sure to bring :)

[Marianne]

Collected another reserve from the library this morning: The Last Dog on Earth

[Rocco]

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am a new author and just had my book published, can someone please tell me where the book can be placed on this website to make it visible to others?
Thank you
Rocco

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hi Rocco, I'll send you a PM :)

The tail end of my Boomerang Books came in today, a print-on-demand copy of The Reward: Cliff Hardy 21, which means I now have the whole Cliff Hardy series to enjoy.

Sounds great Sally. Are the characters zany enough for me to use them as Z in the Aussie Challenge?

I thought the series was excellent Marianne, very true to the book except for location and a slight change at the end leaving an opening for a part two which I believe is in the making now.
