Received today from Text The Helpline by Katherine Collette

[Veronica ⭐️]

I received The Helpline by Katherine Collette also.

I think it’s been great for us Aussie Readers that Goodreads cancelled the giveaway program. I hardly ever won a book on there.

Dirt Music - Tim Winton

2nd edition hardcover, £1 from Oxfam. I see it has a Book Crossing sticker inside, it was meant to be left where someone can find it and pick it up for free. But it's Tim Winton. And I rescued it.

Ducked into my favourite Salvos today and picked up a copy of Boy Swallows Universe for $4. Love it when that happens.

[Veronica ⭐️]

I received an uncorrected proof of Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak . The front cover says The Most Anticipated Book of the Decade.....
I stated that Liane Moriarty ‘s book was the most anticipated book of the year but this claim sure beats that.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's exciting to have that one isn't it Veronica!!!

Today is Love your Bookshop Day. I purchased two books from Dymocks Jar of Heartsby Jennifer Hillier and The Book of Ordinary People by Claire Varley

[Andrea]

I decided to support Books for Cooks on Love Your Bookshop Day. I bought Ant Egg Soup: The Adventures of a Food Tourist in Laos, which has been on my TBR forever, and Postcards from Kitchens Abroad.

Actually I remember asking them about Ant Egg Soup years ago, when they were still in Collingwood. They knew of it but hadn’t seen a copy in some time, so I was really excited to see it there today!

They sound like a couple of interesting books.

Isn't it great when something totally unexpected arrives on your door step. Postie leaves a brown paper package and like a two year old I rip the package to bit to find a signed copy of Scrublands by Chris Hammer.
I stare at it with incredulity, then the penny drops. About a month ago I entered a competition for this very book and low and behold I now have it in my hot little hands.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
