Those steamy summer nights make it so hard to sleep....

[Leonie]

Lovely sunset tonight, chilly evening already, and a pleasant forecast for the weekend here in the Upper Hunter. I love the changing seasons!

[Amber]

So true, Margaret. There were so many nights this summer just gone where it was impossible to get any sleep...hooray it's over!!

And Michael, I agree wholeheartedly! This weather is gorgeous - and we deserve some gorgeous after those decades of summer! (Slight exaggeration, but honestly it felt as if summer went on forever!) :)

It was an unusually wet one in Sydney. March seemed warmer than February;and the humid nights dragged on.

Generally I usually do enjoy Summers now - I've got the air-con finally so I can escape the worst of the heat and I'll confess I quite enjoy lying in the sun in the early morning before it gets too hot.

I'm not really enjoying Autumn so far because our weather's been so changeable - hot one minute, freezing the next. It doesn't help that I've become quite grumpy lately because my teeth, which I thought I'd finally gotten under control after all the drama of last year, are now aching again and my whole left side of my mouth feels sore. No choice for it but to go back to the dentist again and hope that this time they get it right. :)

I don't know if I can post this here, but it's very exciting - my book has been getting some amazing reviews on GR, and I just wanted to share my happiness :) (If this isn't the place to tell this, let me know and I will delete the post!) I'm just so excited! lol

Congrats! I just checked out your book, and you're absolutely right: you have heaps of great reviews. :)
Any plans for another title?

Amber, we will let you share your excitement;) But my suggestion is to open your own thread in the Aussie Author section, and then promote, brag, share your excitement to your hearts content!!!

Congratulations, well done!! Excitement is good for the soul...

[Amber]

:D thank you Margaret, Ashleigh and Brenda! It is really exciting, people are actually enjoying something I spent so long working on. It's such an awesome thing!

And Margaret, Enchantment's Deception is the first book in a series of 5, and they are all written - I'm working on editing book 2 (which basically means rewriting most chapters) lol

Thanks for the link Brenda!

You're welcome:)

[Amber]

Wow, thanks for that Brenda - I have never heard of some of those places! Pretty dopey for the author, but I'm saving that page for future reference :)

I always check on Booko.com Amber, it's the best place to find the cheapest book out of the one you're searching for...and therefore you can also find who has it, and who doesn't! (If that makes sense!!) lol

[Amber]

Until I followed your link for Ashleigh, I didn't know anything about Booko.com - but it's definitely something I'll be using frequently from now on!

(And that made perfect sense, by the way!) :)

Oh Amanda...haha! Don't let the annoying dog get your stash, or you'll be reading even less while you take him/her to the vet!! lol

[Tracey]

Hi all,
I'd never heard of Booko.com and I was thoroughly shocked to see the large number of places my books are available. Had absolutely no idea, made me feel a little silly really :)

I've been having a lovely, lazy weekend so far and Robbie's promised to cook a roast chicken for dinner. So nice to be spoilt sometimes. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Mmm! Roast chicken ;) Well, glad you have booko.com in your list of sites to check now Tracey:)

Did Goodreads have the site down earlier? Because I couldn't get on here.. It was saying "server cannot be found"

Thought I would try again, and here I am.. Wasn't sure if my internet was going crazy, Just thought I'd ask.

I hope you all have a great weekend! :-D

I haven't had any problems Liz, but it depends how long ago you're talking, as I've also been out:) Glad you've been able to get on again though:) You enjoy your weekend too!

It was earlier today.. about 4 hours ago or so.. But glad to be back on.. Looking into getting more books and reading them. I got three last weekend end at a garage sale.. 50 cents each! Now that was a bargain. lol

I couldn't get onto Goodreads earlier, either. Must have been a problem.
Isn't it great to get a bargain? Enjoy!

So I am glad, I wasn't the only one.. Yeah I was wondering what was happening since I couldn't get on.

It's always a great day for a bargain.. I got two true crime books and a ghost story book. :) So all round I was pretty happy.

I also got a 3 Disc changer DVD player for pretty cheap too. Looks brand new!

[Sharon]

Yeah, couldn't get on goodreads either today...

[Michael]

It was down, they advised it on twitter;
