Thanks for the info re the Big W Sale, although Im not sure my credit card agrees :)
I didnt have quite as much restraint though & got 8. But have to be happy with 8 books + postage = $30 BARGAIN!!

Just a quick warning to anyone buying. Some of their books are set up incorrectly as large items & it will try & charge you more for postage. I had 7 books being posted for the standard $9 & the 8th book apparently weighed between 32 & 74 kgs (thats a big book LOL) & postage was going to be $88!! Just had to fix it over the phone with them, they know of this problem and their IT are looking in to it :)

After all the above correspondence about a Big W sale of course I had to go and look didn't I? And of course I had to buy four books. How can you resist a new book for $3?

Ditto that Phrynne, and we just bought 12 more books! I paid more than that for my 2nd hand ones :)

Exactly. Even with postage mine came in at less than I usually spend on second hand books.

I'm glad I've already done the shopping. It could have been deadly, had I not. Am now restraining myself from hopping back in the car!

I love uni holidays <3

Have a great time Brenda. Port Macquarie is lovely. I've heard Forster is nice too. My good friend's dad lives there so she talks about it all the time. Enjoy. :)

God you go on a lot of hollies.

[Sarah]

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I need your help with something. In English (class), our assignment is about Australian literature; meaning books, poems, songs.
I think we need at least 4 pieces for the assignment that are written by Australians and set in Australia. I'm pretty sure they can be about anything but they have to be contemporary. I already have one book but would really love to know what books are good for the topic. I would really appreciate the help!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Any of the Di Morrissey's would probably be good. Needing to be contemporary is the annoying bit.

[★ Jess]

I Am the Messenger for sure. Contemporary.

Sarah, this is our group's bookshelf - https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... - if you go there and look in approx the middle of the screen where it says "shelves" you'll see the listing of genres. Scroll down and you'll see contemporary is listed there as well as others:) Good luck with it all!

[B the BookAddict]

I didn't find a single thing on the Big W under $10 area for moi. There was one book but I already have it; feeling snitchy because I had paid $28 and they have it for $3. I could barely bear to type that '$3':(

My little cat Poppy has just discovered if she runs from the lounge into the kitchen and leaps onto the mat, it will slide on the baltic pine floor. She is doing this repeatedly; so funny to watch.

[Dale]

Sounds like she is having a fun time Bette. Got the video handy?
