[quote=""MLE""]For my kindle--the Winter Sea, by Susanna Kearsley[/quote]
I really enjoyed that one! Recently got Kearsley's Rose Garden for my Kindle which I will probably read after "the kings are finished clashing."

[quote=""SGM""]I noticed that some of these are going very cheap on Kindle. Are they any good?[/quote]
I don't know, I haven't read the first one yet!
Found a reasonably priced used copy on amazon marketplace, from a company I've bought from a lot, and which donate to charity for every purchase.
