Australian Releases

(NOTE: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)

Psst. Want to see some books that people in Australia can pre-order now, but people in the U.S. can’t? Then you’ve come to the right place! While I’m in Oz, I usually have my book search functions set as American. But due to geoblocking and whatnot, sometimes we get access to stuff that internationals can’t (or they may be able to in the future, but not now).

These are my recent findings, all Kindle Editions:

Chris Beckett: Tomorrow
Theo Clare: The Book of Sand
Tess Gerritsen: Listen to Me
Francesca Haig: The Cookbook of Common Prayer
Lisa Heathfield: Such Pretty Things
Claire Kohda: Woman, Eating
John Ajvide Lindqvist: I Am the Tiger
