Book Shopping Today (2011 edition)

[quote=""Ludmilla""]I suspect you bought the older, Archer translation. The newer, Nunnally translations are available as Kindles, but they are priced above $10 each; or you could buy the omnibus, Kindle edition with all three books for $18.99.

I'm waiting for a used pb I ordered for a SF trilogy I started. The 1st and 3rd book were avaialble as Kindles. I didn't realize, until I finished the 1st, that the 2nd wasn't out there as a Kindle (frustrating)! Maybe this is a sign that Kindle is spoiling me and my expectations.

I have heard some chit chat about different translations, but not sure which one I have or who the preferred translator is.

Made another stop at the same UBS and picked up a couple of romances, a Dorothy Eden, book #2 of the Kristin Lavransdatter, the next Marilyn Harris Eden book (because it's not going to come from the library in time and I must keep reading these) and Henry of the High rock by Juliet Dymoke. Cost me all of $8 for the lot.

I went to a reading group weekend away - we take our books to swap and I came home with:

The Skeleton Room by Kate Ellis
A Painted Door by Kate Ellis
The Secrets Between Us by Louise Douglas
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday
Blue Lightning by Ann Cleeves
Red Bones by Ann Cleeves
A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
Now You See Me by S J Bolton
Two Caravans by Marina Lewycka
The Haunted Hotel & Other Stores by Wilkie Collins
Zorro by Isabel Allende
Hasty Death by M C Beaton

I've also received two freebies through the post:

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told by Lucy Robinson
The Girl on the Cliff by Lucinda Riley

Unfortunately I have already have The Girl on the Cliff on my Kindle. I can't remember entering a competition for it but must've done! There was no compliment slip or anything with it so I don't know where it came from.

I didn't get the penny plus S&H, but I have a 75 cent copy coming

That's a good enough bargain. I thought I hit the jackpot in '07 when I got a copy for $5 (plus S&H).
