Nothing like that harbour. When we flew into Sydney years ago after our first and only overseas trip, the sight of Sydney harbour brought tears to my eyes.

I know what you mean Dale! I still love it even after living in Sydney for over 20y. Going across it every morning in the train is one of the highlights of my day. I love going for a picnic or walk at one of the harbour beaches or going somewhere on a ferry.

Have you ever had a walk around the Secret Garden at Lavender Bay Carolyn? Its beautiful!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We often think of coming to Sydney by train to wander around the Harbour, the Rocks area and all those lovely places. Just never seem to get to it;)

I've used a gift coupon before so I had a look but can't find it either Laura. (I did end up buying a book while I was there!)

I have visited Sydney twice, and while they were fun little trips, I really couldn't wait to get out of there. Doesn't happen often when I am on holidays.

No, I haven't Julie, but I have seen it featured on TV (Australian Story maybe?) so it's on my to do list!

It's a lovely way to spend a weekend Brenda. Stay overnight and you can wander down to Chinatown or catch a ferry somewhere. Heaps to do - just avoid school hols!

Its really worth a look...nice place for a picnic lunch with stunning views of Sydney Harbour and Luna Park...it has come a long way since I first saw it several years ago.

Yes and the lovely Rocks' Markets on a Friday night, magical!!! The Sydney Festival starts soon too.

That's the worst part - all the people!! But hopefully one day:)

[Dale]

Sculpture by the Sea which occurs around Bondi is also worth seeing and on currently. Week days are best though it is still crowded and you do a lot of walking. But very good.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Dale:)

We occasionally catch the train to Newcastle and have lunch. The train ride is very pretty and there are some lovely restaurants now by the water there.

While I don't live in Sydney any more you can tell part of my heart is still there.

Ooh please let me know when you're next coming down Phrynne, I'd love to meet up with you and have lunch:)

An Aussie Readers meet up would be a great excuse to come to Sydney :)

[Veronica ⭐️]

I worked in the city for years and still love going in there. I love the crowds the hustle and bustle everyone busy doing what they need to do. I often take my daughter in but she's not good with crowds.

Thanks for having a look! I wonder why it's SO hidden? It doesn't make any sense :s I don't remember it being so hard the last time I used one voucher.

Oh, a good book I hope it will turn out to be! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I actually had a coupon to use once (ages ago) and went through to checkout looking for the place to redeem it - couldn't find it and all of a sudden I had paid for the order! So I immediately emailed them, and they credited the amount onto my credit card...

[Neko]

I googled it last night and it actually comes up in the 'search' as you're typing it sooooo we know others have looked for the same answer..lol Not so good I think :|

It's awesome they did the credit...Mines just 5% but eh...I went out and spent double the price of the book on something else..LOL

LOL! It shouldn't be so hard to find...and 5% is 5% - better in your pocket....

I just came back from another Dymock's Literary Luncheon - this one was John Marsden. It was a delicious meal with wine and champagne followed by him being interviewed. It was very interesting. He has apparently just released his first adult book but I have forgotten what it is called!!! Maybe I should not have had that second glass:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Just looked it up. It's called South of Darkness

Sounds great Phrynne. I looked up the Dymocks website recently but nothing caught my eye. I'll keep checking back as they're a great day out.

Sounds like a great day! I saw him once giving a talk about his books..I found him quite inspiring when I saw him many years ago.

He told some very amusing stories from when he was teacher. He also made me interested in reading his new book.

Sometimes they go ages without having a speaker I want to hear and then they have several in a row! The food is always good though:)

[Vicki]

TGIF! And a very good morning to the EBs.

[Marianne]

Morning, Vicki! Could be warm today, it's over 18oC outside now. But I will be stuck inside the air-cond hospital all day, except for my lunchtime walk around the block. Might just include the Vinnies down the road to see if there are any book bargains to be had. And a bookfair at Austinmer tomorrow....
Finished The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy last night but won't have time to review it until tomorrow (or tonight) 5 ★s though

[Vicki]

Have good day at work, Marianne. Enjoy your lunchtime stroll -- I hope it's not too hot.

[Leonie]

Have a good day other EB's

Dale, you are too funny with that "second glass of wine" comment:) Made me smile.

[B the BookAddict]

Is anyone thinking about reading the new Caroline Overington book: Last Woman Hanged? There's a write-up in AWW this month. Louisa Collins was tried not once but four times for the same crime. It does sound like good reading as per AWW article.

[Suz]

Bette I just went to read it as my mum left her copy here on her last visit, and it's last months issue.. The book sounds great though. I only discovered her books on the last 12 months, and loved the couple I've read.

Talking about Vinnies and book bargains, I am off to an annual local fete - always get a great bargain there on books. Looking forward to it.

Wow yes that goes on my list, thanks for the information. I love all her fiction books. I also love true crime. Will let you know what I think, might be a few weeks before I read it as I am a bit snowed under with the reading at the moment. Cheers

Hi all, I am experiencing a couple of annoying things whilst using the app on my iPhone 5, my laptop is no longer working and I haven't replaced it yet.. Have access to a PC but it's outside in the office, do not as handy. Anyway, I'm often unable to remove books from my tbr list, I hit remove this book but it doesn't work. Also whilst making comments on reviews, the typing screen disappears and you have to go back up into the message (that probably didn't make sense!). Is anyone else having issues like this?

[Neko]

YES!!! I have major issues when using my phone when I want to update anything on GR unless it is a basic response in a group. I cannot even select 'currently reading' on my phone..drives me utterly mental.
