Jeanette Hornby (goodreadscomuser_jeanettehornby) | 107 comments Open to Australian readers. I am giving away a copy of my new novel.

Set in the early 1980’s, in a small town of Western Australia, ‘Where The Heart Is’, is a story of family, acceptance, loss and love.

Ha! Do you?? At least the washing dries very quickly in this heat! We had a bad thunderstorm last night, with lots of heavy rain, and it's forecast again for tonight. Hope your weather doesn't get too violent Carmel!

I couldn't stand it either when I first moved up here but after almost 2 years I am use to it. I have gotten to the point I count the days until our winter is over so I can go swimming at night again and listen to the storms and the rain at night.

Inheritance (Inheritance, #4) by Christopher Paolini comes out tomorrow * ridiculous excited dance*


message 4283: by Neko (new)

Neko What is it with Group Chats about various different books showing up in the usual Group area and you can't just have it so 'groups' only show up :(


message 4284: by Michael (new)

Michael (knowledgelost) I'm not sure what that is, but its fixed now (for me)


message 4285: by Neko (new)

Neko Ah yes..it's fixed for me as well. Must of just been some glitch in the system. Glad it was fixed quickly cause I had a whole heap of Group chats for various books in my Discussions even though I only have it selected for 'Groups' and not books.
