I just received, totally unexpectedly Happy People Read & Drink Coffee by Agnès Martin-Lugand and Nacho Figueras Presents: High Season by Jessica Whitman from Allen & Unwin :D Not sure about the second one, but the first sounds good!

I've won [book:Nacho Figueras Presents: High Season from The Reading Room. It reminded me of those early Jilly Cooper books I loved in the 80's. Will have to wait to see what it's like.

what she said!

Bag purchase? Love it, Jools. Just as good as a book ;)

This one I purchased for her, which she had already bought for herself, which is good as I don't have it yet A Few of the Girls: Stories by my fave Maeve Binchy, and The Rosamunde Pilcher Collection.




Handbags are second only to books in being one of life's essentials Jools!

The book never turned up after a Goodreads giveaway win and although I informed them, I had heard nothing since and only yesterday gave up hope.
I had planned it into my Aussie author challenge and only yesterday changed it back to The Memory Tree which is sitting in front of me right now waiting its turn! So now I will fit them both into a challenge ;))
Thank you Harper Collins and Tess Evans :D

Lol. Ain't that the truth?? ;-P

Me too, that's the second time that has happened and the first one never did turn up :/ so glad this one did though :)


Yeah, I am! There's some really awesome sounding books in there.


LOL - hope it's good!
