Great options and a big range. Lots of books I'll be looking out for.
I loved reading this snippet of books, and will be seeing if I can go and get the books, to see how the stories finish!
I great collection of samples for upcoming novels. Very excited now for a selection of these titles!! This is an innovative way to let people get a sneak peak at what is up and coming for a genre.
Book blurb...
A sneak peek at some of HarperCollins Australia's bestselling summer reads and most anticipated books of 2017.
If you like feisty women leads, droll supporting characters, sparkling dialogue, a bit of romance, a serving of wit, wry observations and compelling storylines, you'll love our Sisterhood titles.
Be among the first to get a taste of new fiction from Maggie Alderson, Cecelia Ahern, Danielle Hawkins, Wendy James and Sunni Overend.
Happy reading!

My thoughts…
What a terrific idea, Harper Collins. I loved this seek peek. I found a delicious new author in Danielle Hawkins. I had heard of her books but never read them. I love her humour. I was also thrilled to be able to read Wendy James’ latest. She was writing domestic noir before it was called domestic noir! I have enjoyed her previous books and was glad to see her releasing a new one. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with The Golden Child. It is now on my TBR pile, along with The Fifth Letter. I hope you do this again.
I love when publishers put out sampler books. It's a great way to find new authors and catch new titles from old favorites. This is an eclectic offering by 6 women authors. They all offer a wonderful story of women's issues. A thank you to Harper Collins for this book. I found 4 potential new authors.
This was a great sneak peak of books to come! My interest is piqued:)
I loved this sampler! cant wait to finish these books. You will not be dissapointed at all with these reads.
Such a great sampler! I added 2 new books to my already way to big TBR list and I really enjoyed the first few chapters of Cecelia Ahern's Lyrebird, which I've been waiting for so long already, but haven't had the chance to pick up the book at a bookstore.
I love being able to get sneak peeks into upcoming books that I might not already know about or from authors I don't know about. This is by far one of the best selection of books and they are all added to my wishlist of books to read. All six book excerpts are really good and I do want to read them and share them with others who might not even knwo about them.
I shared this book on my blog as a spotlight.
Love these excerpt samplers! I'm definitely adding a couple of these to our collection. Cannot believe some weren't even on my radar.
I love these sneak peek collections - thanks to this one I've now ordered 'The Pretty Delicious Cafe' by Danielle Hawkins, 'The Golden Child' by Wendy James and ''The Fifth Letter' by Nicola Moriarty - the first two especially make it so frustrating I have to wait to find out what happens next! Danielle Hawkin's writing is especially easy to lose oneself in.
Loved this sampler, I can't wait for The Fifth Letter to be published now
BEST. SAMPLER. EVER.!
Loved reading all of these - solid reading from great women. I want to read them all - roll on the next few months!
