Of all the sales and deals, I've only gotten "Shooting Victoria", a lot of the historical fiction books, the ones I'd would've gotten I've already read, oh well, saves me money!

Another US Kindle Daily Deal: Death of Kings: A Novel (The Saxon Chronicles #6) by Bernard Cornwell - $1.99 today only.

I don't know whether to get this one or not! While I loved The Last Kingdom, I not normally buy books later in a series until I'm up to that point, just in case I wind up going off the series and never finish it. But it's such a good deal and if I'm going to wind up buying it later anyway, I might as well get it now on sale. If only I had a crystal ball and could know whether or not I'll read the whole series!

Anyway, carrying on...

1929 (Book One) by M.L. Gardner - $0.99
