10 Free Copies of The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff: Random House Australia

An enthralling page turning murder mystery set in a secretive polygamous Mormon
sect. The author David Ebershoff is a master at researching reality and penning it to fiction.

10 Copies of the Lonely Planet Borneo Travel Guide by Chris Rowthorn, China Williams, Muhammad Cohen

Darwin described the island of Borneo as 'one great wild untidy luxuriant hothouse made by nature for herself', and it's still a cornucopia of biodiversity - for now. Sample world-class diving, meandering boat rides, indigenous hospitality, sightings of languid orangutans and stir-fried jungle ferns from the local markets.

5 Free Copies of The Forgotten Garden By Kate Morton: Allen and Unwin

A woman on a quest to find out the truth about her family, a mysterious Victorian authoress, a book of dark fairytales and a long-hidden secret - another addictive and compulsively readable mystery/romance from the author of the international bestseller The Shifting Fog.

5 Free Copies of Bright Air by Barry Maitland: Allen and Unwin

Secrets, lies and a deathbed confession lead to a deadly, dangerous trail.

A nail-biting, fast-paced page-turner, Bright Air is the compelling new mystery from the master of crime writing, Barry Maitland.

5 Free Copies of Scattered: The inside story of Ice in Australia by Malcolm Knox: Allen and Unwin

Crystal methamphetamine. Crystal meth. Crystal. Ice. A drug that came out of nowhere and instantly turned things upside down: for users, their families, police, healthcare workers and victims of the random, hyper-violent crimes that are the mark of Ice. Nearly 1 in 10 Australians have tried Ice.

5 Copies of Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch: Allen and Unwin

Sarah Walters is a reluctant Camellia Society debutante. She has always felt ill-fitted to the old-fashioned gentility of Southern womanhood and family life. As Sarah grows older, moving north and navigating love and life in New York, she and her group of displaced deb sisters try to define themselves within the realities of modern life.

This would be great if we could access the website. I think it has crashed.
