[quote=""Carine""]On a Belgian book site there is a sale : when you buy 4 or more english books you get a discount of 25 %. So I ordered the first 8 books in the Morland Dynastie series.[/quote]
Enjoy! I'm just finishing up The Founding right now, and it's very good. I'm trying to pace myself, because no matter how good a series is, I get burnout if I read them too quickly (happened with Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody series--got to the seventh mystery in the series and had to stop).

Thanks Kasthu, you're right, it's better to pace a series, I always do that too. Otherwise I get burnout. 2 of the same series is the maximum I read in a row then I read something else. Far more enjoyable that way.
Thanks Vanessa

Oh, I love deals like that! Congrats. No buys recently, but I'm seriously considering buying The Priory, by Dorothy Whipple.

I bought Mistress of the Art of Death in Costco yesterday. As I was putting it in the shopping cart my husband said, "Don't you have enough books to read?" Silly question... I ignored him!
