Same here Brenda. I was amazed to find out it was a thriller with that title. Not sure their marketing technique is the best in this case!!!

Suz | 4380 comments I was returning resources today to my library and of course the new released caught my eye. Some nice brand new copies landed today. I limited myself to only one.

Our Tiny, Useless Hearts by Toni Jordan. Looking forward to it.

I think the title is terrible for the sort of book it is!

Suz | 4380 comments This is a great bargain for a kids cook book, with recipes by Margaret Fulton.

My Grandma's Kitchen by Louise Fulton-Keats .

$7 free post from QBD via Booko. I'd recommend it as a gift, it's gorgeous and engaging!

You should get it in time to read it Mish. My reserved copy is ready for me at my library so I'll pick that up today. Not sure when I'll start it though.

I need to read another book beforehand so 10 days would be perfect Brenda. :)

Thanks Mish! It has been yonks since I have had anything from them and I stopped requesting for awhile. Then I recently had a look and they had a few I fancied so I asked and voila!! I got a trifecta ;)

It was published late July Elias so I would have been surprised to NOT see it there :) They are always pretty well on time with new releases :)


message 1045: by Elias (new)

Elias Zanbaka | 862 comments They sure are! I think I had it mixed up with the August release date of the Michael Bennett "Book Shots" novella.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9891 comments with great regret, the book whisperer attended the LAST EVER Rotary Book Fair at Austinmer (the R Club members are all getting too old to lift all those heavy boxes: what's left today is going to Lifeline) and spent a measly dollar, got 2 books, nothing on my wishlist but Brenda and Jools should be happy
Tamar for Brenda and
The Little Paris Bookshop for Jools

It was all $5 a bag...

No J.D. Robb, but I have seen that other book you were after, Veronica, and the Graftons in my travels so will see Tues...
