To be honest, this week I’m getting annoyed with mail delays, particularly magazines from the US! But I did get some lovely books locally…

A Woman’s Work by Victoria Purman (available April 2023) arrived thanks to Harlequin. As Australia gets ready for the 1956 Olympic games, women as preparing to win The Australian Women’s Weekly’s cookery content. For two women, it could change their lives and their way of seeing the world.
By the Book by Jasmine Guillory is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Isabelle is sent to an author’s house to get him to deliver his manuscript. It turns out that Beau is just as jaded as Izzy, but together they write his story. But they may be writing more than just a story…
Making Numbers Count by Chip Heaty and Karla Starr explains about how numbers and data can be transformed into something that makes sense and comes to life, even if you’re not a fan of maths.

Nice variety and I am interested in Making Numbers Count. Happy Reading!
I have heard from a UK publisher that since Christmas, it’s basically impossible to mail anything overseas!
And our mail is also slowing down inside the US.
That book on numbers sounds great!
Looks like you got some nice reads.
