Bargains to be had

    If you're looking to load up your Kindle there are some good books to be had at bargain prices just now. In no particular order:

    Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekbäck; I wrote about this highly accomplished first novel here, and it's just won the 2016 Historical Writers' Association's Goldsboro Debut Crown.

    A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth; this is such an enormous book that in physical form it's unwieldy so the electronic version will be easier on the wrists! Size apart, it's a tremendous piece of work.

    Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier; I haven't read this novel about Mary Anning and fossil hunting in early 19th. century Dorset, but I admire Tracy's work very much.

    Any Human Heart by William Boyd; another one I've yet to read, but I saw the television dramatisation of this, Mr. C. read it and gave it high praise, and Boyd is jolly good!

    Dark Matter by Michelle Paver; perfect for this time of year, there's a review of this excellent ghost story here, and good news for Paver fans, Thin Air - set in the Himalayas in 1935 - has just been published.

    The Travelling Bag by Susan Hill; more ghost stories, and if these are anything to go by, they should be good.

    Toast by Nigel Slater; there's a snippet from this culinary memoir here.

    Hue & Cry by Shirley McKay; there's a post on this, the first of a mystery series set in 16th. century St. Andrews, here.

Even cheaper, i.e. *free* books from Dean Street Press. If you check Amazon every few days you will find books by E R Punshon, Patricia Wentworth and others free for a short time. Yesterday I bagged a Frances Faviell, one of the Furrowed Middlebrow imprints. My Kindle is loaded!

Read Toast, everybody!

Great! Thank you.

Remarkable Creatures was 1 of my favorite books from last year. The title ends up being such a play on words.
Enjoy!

Thanks, Cathy; glad to hear it was so good.

When I read A suitable Boy, it was in three volumes so, no wrist hurting. I will investigate some of the other titles, thank you.

I know someone who had A Suitable Boy in one volume but cut it into four sections for ease of carrying and so that her husband could read it (albeit a part behind her) at the same time.
