She's no longer a member of our group Dale, and she's no longer on my friends list either. I've done some searching and not sure how to look further for her... I'll let you know if I find out anything more.

I found her - I was looking for Bette instead of B the BookAddict. And she is on my friend list still, but no longer a member of this group. She was last active in July. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1...

The part that bothers me most is that it's not even done well. Like Phrynne said, it's not even attractive.

I know several people who are colour-blind and/or dyslexic and this is of no help whatsoever.

TBH, I think the colour thing is a 'booktoc' or 'booktube' thing. It looks pretty on social media so people do it.

It is a weird sort of fashion guess. Hopefully it will not last forever, I enjoy several youtube channels specific for books, but not based on the colour coding.

We’ve now left Seaview Terrace Thirroul and are in temporary accommodation, an Airbnb unit that faces Crown Street in Wollongong. The other morning, I was returning from my walk and, as I approached the building’s front entrance, I saw an older man at the door handing a young woman, made up and coiffed, wearing a burgundy satin thigh-length robe over a lacy white teddy, a bottle of bubbly. I admit that I was wondering just what sort of assignation I was witnessing….
Then I followed the young lady to the elevators, and noticed what was stitched on the back of her robe in white “Maid of Honour”. In the lift she remarked how fortunate that it was such beautiful weather: her sister was getting married today. And then, of course, it all made sense.

Sounded much like one of our mystery books until the reveal Marianne!!

Hi everyone,
Has anyone ordered The Advent Calendar book box from The Book Grocer? If so what were your thoughts as in did you think it was worth it?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No I haven't Sharon, but I was looking at it last night :) From what's been said on FB, it's well worth it...

Thanks Brenda :)
