I broke my book buying ban (I did have a voucher to spend though so it had to be done) and bought these books from Amazon UK yesterday:
,
,
,
,
,
and
. I have been unsure whether to read Gone Girl but after reading some of the comments and opinions on here I decided I would give it a try.
Judy, now I am scared. I hope you like it as much as me! I want you guys to love it. A wonderful cozy mystery recommended by someone who has never enjoyed any mysteries or series!
Don't worry, Chrissie. I've been wanting to read from this series for a long time.
Janice, I do always get nervous when someone decides to follow my recommendations.
I saw a documentary about early British novels and got right on with acquiring them. They were all free on Kindle, which may be a good thing since most didn't have a very high rating here on GR. Pamela. Or, Virtue Rewarded, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, The Castle of Otranto, Evelina, and Caleb Williams. Hopefully something readable will come of it all.
I just went to the used bookstore to looks for materials for a project. Didn't find any, or a Q or X book. But I did come away with Great Expectations, Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women, A Discovery of Witches, The Little Friend and Moll Flanders.
Ooh! I loved A Discovery of Witches and have read the sequel which I liked also. There is a 3rd one which I haven't found yet to read but I'm looking! I hope you enjoy it!
I'm still anxiously waiting for the last book in the Discovery of Witches series. Hurry up Deborah Harkness!

Lisa, if you want to read about the real Mr. Darcy, check out

And Nine Parts of Desire was fascinating and very readable! Great purchases!
My too-be-read pile is growing, and I can't see to stop myself! I just bought The Marriage Plot, Plainsong, Every Last One, and Ilustrado. But I have a whole stack of classics I want to get to for the alphabet challenge. So many books, so little time...

Between Love and Honor is fantastic!Maybe I too should pick up In This Hospitable Land. Is the Audible price reduced from 12 to 8 USD only today? I hate that when I do not know if I have to grab it right away. Is this a one day price, Shirley? I went ahead and bought. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Living in Belgium and loving France, it will be fun to read.

Kindle daily is just for one day ... don't know about whispersync audible reduced price. Sorry
I always grab and pay that day to be sure I get them into my library. Today was a banner day. I think they are promoting this more and more.
Great haul, Shirley. The Museum of Abandoned Secrets would be good pick for those looking for a "Z" author: Оксана Забужко (Oksana Zabuzhko).
