I read the first one almost 10 years ago and wasn`t sure if I wanted anymore in the series* ; then I read a mystery book about Egypt recently, re-read the Elizabeth Peters book and wanted to get more in that series. The ones I`ve ordered were around £2.25 -ish in the used Amazon bit, which is pretty good but not as bargainous as 84p ! * I was put off by the ending...<< It seemed to skip ahead a few years. << Highlight for spoiler, I can`t remember how to do them on here.

Aww. Poor Xiao-Xiao was sick yesterday, eventually ate some crunchies and seems better today ( eating a small amount of soft food ) - she has such a delicate tum. Grr, I was struck down with Girl Flu a monthy ago ( curse this year`s ineffective flu jab !! ) and still feel wrecked. I went out yesterday for acupuncture and a peek at a couple of charity shops, first time out in weeks. I got some cheer-up books : Call after Midnight - Tess Gerritsen 20p The Long War - Terry Pratchett/ Stephen Baxter £1.50 Must get Book 1 in the series now.

Ooh goody, free Murakami ! Thanks for the link. Sounds like you`ve read - and bought - some good books recently; I`ve Kimpled The Hunting Gun book, sounds intriguing .

A very belated Happy Birthday, Steve. Hurray for the Rush trip ! Do you have to tell the Jury People that you`ll be unavailable if the case drags on ?

Very slowly catching up with all your reading ; sounds like you`ve had some nice reads. It reminded me that I want to try the Thingy & Baantjer books at some point.

Aww, thank you - it`s hopefully the tailend of it now, so I`m able to post without too much whimpering. And thanks for the clicky - there are some eps up on YouTube ( can`t get a clicky up without a long wait... ) , I`ll take a look at those to see if they`re still good enough to get on DVD. I`m way behind with reviews, but I just read the Mr and Mrs North book which I had, and decided to get a few more of the series. It reminded me a little of that Thin Man book. ooh, cat needs feeding...

Stoopid broadband issues and migraine, grr. Just going to list my latest book buying spree : The Judge is Reversed, Voyage into Violence, Murder in a Hurry, a North Quartet ( The Long Skeleton, Murder is Suggested, Murder has its Points, Murder by the Book ) - all Mr and Mrs North mysteries - 7 books for £11.66 ( and all shipping from the US, sp especially bargainous ! ).

Thanks ! I see you`ve been busy yourself !

Grr at those concert prices.

A bookie road trip ! Does your car have a trailer ?

Ooh, another great book haul ! Hope you enjoy them.

Great book haul ! Sounds like a grand day out.

Ooh, thanks - I have Alias Grace ( and the Robber Bride ) as well.

The Opticans ( Boots ) now do a blue light filter for your specs, which is supposed to reduce the risk of getting cataracts or AMD.

Thank you. A couple of those books are pre-orders, so it`ll be a few months to wait.

I`m doing my very best. I rather liked the Ruth Wilson Jane Eyre.

Another 10/10 ! Excellent - that`s another one for me to try out.

Ooh, it`s been an exciting day ; I looove the Rei Shimura mystery series ( by Sujata Massey ) and signed up to her email list - she had a clicky to email her if you wanted a signed bookplate - I did so, a few days ago - and today in the post, I got two signed bookplates ! Hurray ! I`m so pleased.

I`ve Kimpled The Humans ; it sounds sooo good.

It looks good . And hurray - you`ve bought more books than me so far !

I was going to challenge you to read one chapter a month alongside me, but that means I`d have to actually pick up the book myself...

I`ve seen a few good things about The Girl on the Train - shall be interested in your review ( hey, no pressure ! )
