the book whisperer knew that if she was patient this wishlist book Macbeth would turn up: Salvos $4

[Marianne]

Unbelievable!!!
Today in the mail from Text Publishing, a VERY BATTERED parcel containing Kill Shot: A Wyatt Thriller, The tracking number tells me it was posted on 24th October and then went from Melbourne to Sydney EIGHT times before it came to me.
OK This doesn't beat Jools 21 times for her parcel, but somebody somewhere in Australia Post in Sydney must have a problem with Text because I have had this happen at least three times this year and back in 2016, I received a book three months after it was sent (no tracking number so couldn't tell how many trips it made).
Somehow, Australia Post in Sydney keep sending these parcels back to Melbourne, even though the address and postcode are clearly written.
Inefficiency to the max!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow! Have you notified Text about these multiple happenings?

Small Blessings by Emily Brewin

[Dale]

And then today the parcel man just delivered The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton from Simon & Schuster

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Netgalley just approved me for The Scholar by Dervla McTiernan which makes me very happy:)

[Marianne]

Six books entered the house today:
Like Dale, I received The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton from Simon&Schuster Aus and The Orchardist's Daughter from Allen&Unwin, also Islands

then I collected three reserves from the library:
Of Blood and Bone, Bloody January (because I have February's Son from A&U in my TBR) and Tales from the Inner City

That's going to keep me busy over the hols

Yesterday I received Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty from a random ebay voucher I didn't know I had until they sent me a reminder and today from A&U I was sent a copy of The Orchardist's Daughter by Karen Viggers and Flight Risk by Michael McGuire.
Now the library has informed me that a copy of The Au Pair by Emma Rous is waiting for me. Plus NetGalley has approved me for Crooked Street by Brian Freeman and The Lost Night by Andrea Bartz. That should keep me going over Christmas lol

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow Kylie!!! You'll have a wonderful reading Christmas :)

Wonders will never cease. A successful delivery from AusPost is a little victory in itself, but on a SUNDAY!! That's headline news. I've just received The Orchardist's Daughter from Allen & Unwin.

I was out this morning and saw two different posties doing their rounds.

[Marianne]

Christmas Eve mail:
A yellow book for the Colours Challenge The Rosie Result with a personal letter from Graeme Simsion!! Woohoo!

and a Facebook win from A&U, which I thought might be nice for a blue book, but Victoria Schade is not an Aussie author, so think again, LOL

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I think a lot of us will be using The Rosie Result for yellow Marianne! I expect I will be seeing you at the Graeme Simsion Literary Lunch in February :)

I can recommend Saving CeeCeeHoneycutt. I read that one a year or two ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
