My friend, Bonnie in the US is a Jasper Fforde freak. She has travelled miles and miles to go to book readings and signings.

[Marianne]

I don't blame her, Diana! If he came to Australia, I'd be there.

Me too. I have booked Lee Child and Minette Walters for the Dymocks lunches in November Marianne. Are you going?

[Marianne]

Minette Walters and Jane Harper

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I wouldn't have minded going to all four of them but it would have been a bit pricey:)

I'm so jealous! I love Kate Morton and this is on my buying list, but it isn't due to be released until October 9th here in the US. The cover is also different.

You lucky ducks!
No one sends me any books.

But I ordered Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story for £2.45. I've read it loads but not for some years, and wanted a new book because I'm rather thin on them.

Also this is very exciting, I did a survey and received a £10 gift certificate and could use it at Waterstones Books - so finally got Harry Potter and the Philosophers STANE (not Stone) - Scots dialect edition, what a romp! love it. Very similar to Geordie (the dialect where I live). My son and I will start reading it out loud soon.

Turnin the envelope ower, his haun tremmlin, Harry saw a purpie wax seal wi a coat o airms; a lion, an earn, a brock, and a snake surroondin a muckle letter 'H'.

HARRY POTTER doesnae ken the first thing aboot Hogwarts when the LETTERS stert drappin ontae the doormat at nummer fower, Privet Loan. The letters, scrievit in GREEN ink on YELLA pairchment wi a PURPIE seal, are taen aff him by his AWFIE aunt and CRABBIT uncle. Then, on Harry's eleeventh birthday, a muckle GIANT wi tousie hair cawed RUBEUS HAGRID breenges in tae his life wi some ASTOONDIN news: Harry Potter is a warlock, and he has a place at HOGWARTS SCHUIL O CARLINECRAFT AND WARLOCKRY.

J.K Rowling's incredible adventure - noo in Scots - is aboot tae begin!
