Bargains for Kindle

    I've spotted a few good things in the current Kindle books promotion, for example, the first four of Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody series as an omnibus edition (they come with glowing recommendations - have a look here), Julian Barnes's The Pedant In The Kitchen (there's a bit about it here), BB's The Little Grey Men (beloved by Mr. C. - and see his post on Brendon Chase), Nigel Slater's memoir Toast: The Story of a Boy's Hunger (there's a 'crumb' from it here), and Sarah Moss's Names for the Sea: Strangers in Iceland (which I mentioned re. knitting and quoted again the other day).

Some very nice spots there, thank you. I have just added the Amelia Peabody omnibus and the new Sarah Moss book to my basket!

Although my e-reader is not the K version, I did buy the Amelia Peabody Ominbus. Awaiting Hurricane Sandy and anticipate being without power up to a week or more if the dire predictions come true. Must have reading material for the storm (plus a generator to at least power up the mobiles and the ereaders). Not to mention a huge stack of regular books...and a flashlight or two.

[Claire]

Thank you for that. I've bought the Sarah Moss, would have missed it without you flagging it up.

[Cornflower]

Thinking of you, Mary, and all on the east coast - here's hoping that it is not as bad as feared.

[Cornflower]

I hope you'll enjoy them, Sarah.

[Cornflower]

You're welcome, Claire.

Just bought all but Toast (I read it a while ago). Seven books for a fiver - cheaper than the charity shops. Thank you for posting these finds - I do follow the Amazon deal of the day on Twitter, but don't always catch it.

[Cornflower]

I don't always follow up all the Amazon emails, but I'm glad I looked at that one as there are some good things there, and as you say, very cheap.

What excellent taste Mr C has! I still have my childhood copy of The Little Grey Men, with lovely line drawings to illustrate it... and I still love reading it!
