That's what I like to do with long awaited books - savour the fact that I have them and can read them whenever I want ;)

Oh lucky you, Phrynne. I'm still waiting for my library to get The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, but I will be one of the first ones to read it. Love being number one in queue 😊

I’ve got an idea they interviewed the author on Triple J recently. Either that or there’s more than one new book about ANZAC biscuits!! They are using a grab from the interview in one of their promos at the moment. It goes something along the lines of:

DJ - So, can you tell us what’s in the book?
Author - Eleven chapters...

Hahahahahaha
