Veronica ⭐️ | 2384 comments I've just purchased The Fairytale Curse by Marina Finlayson on Amazon.
It was a lovely cover too The Fairytale Curse (Magic's Return Book 1) by Marina Finlayson

Marina Finlayson | 285 comments Thanks, Veronica. I adore that cover. I wanted to jump through the computer and kiss my cover designer when she first sent it to me! (Fortunately for her, such things are not possible!)

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.

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


message 377: by Suz (new)

Suz | 4426 comments My ma bought a couple for me today, on a visit for a family party, which was fun ;)

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.

Wow Kiera! You have enough reading to keep you going until you're at least 150 now!!


message 388: by Jülie ☼♄  (new)

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Woohoo! Finally recieved Mercy Street by Tess Evans from Harper Collins in today's post.
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

message 393: by Suz (new)

Suz | 4426 comments Today received The Teacher's Secret which I won in a Goodreads giveaway. Only just won it so it looks like I received it very quickly, compared to Jools. I have a couple of arcs and wins so I must prioritise ;)
