Would someone please be able to add a blurb to it? This one from an ebook edition on GR would do:
The new book from the bestselling author of Flesh Wounds. A funny and frank look at the way Australia used to be - and just how far we have come. "It was simpler time". We had more fun back then". "Everyone could afford a house". There's plenty of nostalgia right now for the Australia of the past, but what was it really like? In The Land Before Avocado, Richard Glover takes a journey to an almost unrecognisable Australia. It's a vivid portrait of a quite peculiar land: a place that is scary and weird, dangerous and incomprehensible, and, now and then, surprisingly appealing. It's the Australia of his childhood. The Australia of the late '60s and early '70s. Let's break the news now: they didn't have avocado. It's a place of funny clothing and food that was appalling, but amusingly so. It also the land of staggeringly awful attitudes - often enshrined in law - towards anybody who didn't fit in. The Land Before Avocado will make you laugh and cry, be angry and inspired. And leave you wondering how bizarre things were, not so long ago. Most of all it will make you realise how far we've come - and how much further we can go.
Thanks!

Something to Tell you by Lucy Diamond please? ISBN 978 1 5098 5110 2 published by Macmillan 2019

Thanks Brenda. Appreciate it. A pretty cover too.

Can you give me an ISBN for the audiobook please Carolyn? There are a couple/few there but I want to do the correct one for you. Thanks :)

Took a while to find it, but I think it's 9781460790335.
It's Kobo, not Amazon if that helps.

Kissing Games of the World
Kissing Games Of The World
Would it be possible to combine them?

Those two are showing different authors Mell!! How weird. What I would suggest is you go to the Librarian group and ask the question of the Super Librarians - if it's the same. Because with 2 different authors (showing on the covers no less) we can't combine.

Scroll down to "Book Issues" and create your own thread with the complete detail (as you've given me above) including the two different authors showing on the covers :)
Please let me know how you go, I'm curious...

Thanks Brenda, will see how I go!

Can someone please put up the colourful cover of paperback The Birthday Party By Roisin Meaney
ISBN 9781473643062
published 2019 By Hachette Books Ireland
Thanks


Here you go Dale :)"
Thanks Brenda. You are a gem.

The Silk Road Wars by Frank Spencer

thank you

Believe In Yourself & Do What You Love is ISBN 9781922213587. It's about to be published in the US as Believe in Yourself and Do What You Love (ISBN 9781524850906). Both are on GR so I thought I'd combine them before I leave my review for the US edition. BUT they are attributed to two different author profiles for Kate James. I suspect they are 2 different people rather than one author with 2 profiles. That was where I threw my hands in the air!
Does anyone think they can untangle this?
I have fixed the author - you were correct. It was in the spaces between Kate and James. And I combined the two editions. Let me know if there's anything else wrong with it, or it doesn't look right Andrea :)

Thanks Brenda - that looks perfect 🙌

I've sent her a message Sharon, to ask her when she'd like it uploaded to the GR database. I'll let you know :)
Rhonda put it up last night Sharon but has the blurb and cover pic to go :) Here it is: Kick the Dust by Rhonda Forrest
