Well done Margot. Enjoy your reading time.

[Diana]

Congratulations Margot. I gave up smoking about 30 years ago and it was hard. Stay strong and enjoy your books, a great reward.

[Kathryn]

I came home from our Brisbane AR catch-up with Yesterday by Felicia Yap - my mystery book draw, and Into the Night by Sarah Bailey, courtesy of Kerri trying to get rid of some books!! I read the first book - The Dark Lake earlier this year and really enjoyed it so I’m looking forward to this one! Also like the sound of Yesterday - a little different from my usual fare, but it sounds intriguing!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sounds like an enjoyable few hours Kathryn - with a nice reward to go home with :)

In the mail today from the lovely Donna,
Beneath the Mother Tree

[Marianne]

I was looking at the Text catalogue and thinking I might like to read I Always Find You by John Ajvide Lindqvist. Today it turned up in the mail. Apparently I sometimes have the ability to transmit my thoughts. I wish it would work a bit more predictably...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I'm looking forward to mine coming too Sally :)
