Well done Margot!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I recently received an email from St. Martin's Press in New York, asking if I'd like a review copy (uncorrected proof) of the latest Diane Chamberlain title. I said "Yes please!" and received The Dream Daughter in the mail. Not released until October '18, I have plenty of time to read it :)

[Dale]

Wow! very cool Brenda. I usually love her work.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Dale :) I thought so too!!

Collected two reserves from the library:
The End of the World Running Club because I really enjoyed The Last Dog on Earth
and Year One

[Li'l Owl]

I caved in on my no buying plan but this series sounds so good. To my credit I only bought the first one for $2.99

Fear Dreams by J.A. Schneider


I'm a sucker for psychological thrillers!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Fantastic series Owl!!

I have both those books by Adrian J. Walker on my wish list - my local librarian doesn't have them. Year One was a top read for me too :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've just started Year One :)

[Li'l Owl]

Just folded and bought two Kindle books. I did only spend $3.99 total I say to myself so I won't feel guilty adding two more TBR

The Missing Child by Alison James

The Jigsaw Man by Leigh Goodison

I reserved my copy and it came in yesterday, so I'll have to go pick it up.

I'd never heard of Alan Carter, but I can picture the setting - lovely area! As is all of NZ's South Island!

I just happened to pick up my copy from the library last week before it was confirmed as a group read....so I can join in too.

[Marianne]

DH is away so the book whisperer didn't have to sneak her finds into the house :)
Salvos:
The Rooster Bar $4
The Fourth Sacrifice $2 for Phrynne & Brenda, too cheap to leave behind!
Vinnies:
Island Home $2
Offline $4
The Fail Safe $1
Smith Family:
Hag-Seed: The Tempest Retold 50c
A few wishlist ones in there...

[marlin1]

A copy of Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris from the publisher Harlequin. Very happy as my requests from Netgalley are being ignored (both are OS publishes, so I guess that’s why)

That is great!!! We're in for a good book discussion next month ladies :)

In the post yesterday!

The One by John Marrs


Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell

[Krystal]

My mum visited recently and brought a belated xmas gift with her:

The Disney Book by Jim Fanning and DK Publishing. The cover is a little different to what GR shows, but it's such a beautiful book! I'm looking forward to taking my time paging through it.

Well done, Odette, bonus!!

Oh wow! That's awesome Odette :) And on your birthday too!!!

[Marianne]

In the mail today from Bonnier/Echo Publishing, The Portrait of Molly Dean, a debut by Aussie author Katherine Kovacic, looks like my sort of read. Also, I think it will fit in my A-Z challenge as the H book. :)

And because I am reading Cross the Line now, I thought I would pick up the BookShots book, Detective Cross, that comes after it, from the library.

The Portrait of Molly Dean looks good to me, and will include it as one of the 2018 releases for the Aussie Author Challenge.
