[quote=""TiciaRoma""]Um, I used a Xmas gift card from Amazon--under $20 though. I balances out the great kindle deals you keep us aware of. ��[/quote]

$20 is rather reasonable. I recall seeing it sell for quite a bit more.

I've got a copy of Red Adam's Lady "maturing" on the TBR pile. I just had a look at librarything, and it seems I must of been suitably excited when I got it as I have entered in a private note - "ebay $3!"

Just pre-ordered the kindle edition of The Forest Laird: a Tale of William Wallace by Jack Whyte. I loved Whyte's Camulod books and am anticipating this one. It should be delivered next week!
