Sarah’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

Just found the arrow. But it’s really not obvious how to look at things in the app. Better on the website, but I’m often on my phone.

I have no idea how to go to a previous page in a discussion on the app. So I’ve turned off notifications as it’s basically useless to tell me I’ve got them when I don’t even know what the discussion is about. Maybe not a bug, but irritating.

Mine arrived yesterday!

Me too! I’m looking forward to it! Thank you for this thread and thank you to Allen and Unwin.

These threads never display properly for me on the phone app. I’ve just worked out I can copy the URL and open it in a browser so I can actually see what the books are!!!

If it fit my diary, I’d like to participate.

Listening to Elsewhere and reading Boy Swallows Universe at the moment.

I'm overseas or I might have managed to make this one.

Just got my copy of The Daughter's Tale in the mail - thank you so much S & S! And Goodreads for letting us know about it. Looking forward to reading it.

I don't know why I missed the post earlier about Working Class Man - wouldn't have bothered linking it if I'd realised it was already mentioned.

Here are two off the top of my head:

Most People I Know

Working Class Man

I enjoyed it quite a lot, but I had hoped that David wasn't really dead. I also thought the next books would continue their story, but they actually take a different person's viewpoint.

Before We Met by Lucie Whitehouse

Oh well, it came to mind so it was worth a try.

On phone, can’t link properly, but maybe Before We Met

Edit - went over to the computer so I could do it properly.

I hate it when to wrap up the story, some ridiculously implausible situation occurs that makes it easy to tidy up loose ends. I like reading quite realistic novels, with all the drudgery of modern life. But I do like to have little twists. Most of all though, I hate it when I finish and I have loads of questions about what happened next, because they've just left it without this!!!

For a book that I've never heard of, and don't know the author, but it sounds interesting, I'll usually pay up to about $6 AUD. However, once I know I like them, I'll usually pay up to about $14 AUD.

On average, I like to keep my purchases between $6-8 AUD.

I'm still paying less than buying it in physical form usually, and I don't have to worry about finding somewhere for it to be stored, plus I don't have to worry about dragging it around with me while I'm reading it. Plus, if I can't remember if I've already read it, I can quickly open my Kindle and check!!!

So many pluses for ebooks.

However, there is still a great need for real books - depending on what they are, why you want them, who wants them.

I'm a maybe. It's a very busy weekend for me, but I'll see what I can do.

I stayed at a caravan park in Mt Isa, where we saw these gorgeous green tree frogs hiding inside the toilets.

I think it's going to be too hard for me, I'm already somewhere else right about the same time of day. Sorry about that. Maybe next time!

I have something else on that day so I'm conflicted!
