And it's woooorkiiiing.
Every couple weeks kobo sends out $1 or $2 coupons for lists of books. And with the latest one, I just realized that the coupon applies to every book in the store except the publishers listed in the small print. So I can get a discount on all sorts of books! And they're discounted to begin with, so très cheap.
I caved and bought four books. Now I've got lots of new toys to read! 3 lite-n-fluffy, and one research.
Murder at Longbourn, by Tracy Kiely, turned out to be everything I had hoped it would be--a cozy mystery with strong tie-ins to P&P but without being an overly serious, self-conscious, joyless retelling of the story. The novel is jam-packed with Austen quotes and references to the various movies and adaptations that constitute Austen Inc. ...but branches out a bit to include Shakespeare, Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde and other literary wits. (Goodreads reader review)
This book has it all; an eternal love, a broken marriage, a life cut short, children in peril and a Gothic castle. In Ohio. (Goodreads reader review)
Clever plot, unusual subject (stamp collecting), interesting setting and time, and amusing characters flesh out this funny little mystery. Flavia is a smart and snarky little detective whose passion is poison. (Goodreads reader review) "There are times, Miss de Luce... when you deserve a brass medal. And there are other times when you deserve to be sent to your room with bread and water." (Inspector Hewitt to Flavia de Luce)
A groundbreaking report on how Seagram heir Edgar Bronfman, Jr, who lost $3 billion in failed deals, may be the record business's least-likely savior.
