I think it is BZB unless there is another that I haven't seen.
Gert will know for sure  :)

I have so many books waiting to be read on my kindle. Looking forward to reading on the plane and hopefully will get through few a books while we are away. Haven't had enough time to read much at all recently.

Yes it is. I checked my account and I actually bought it last December.

Thanks Gert and MF. Something to look forward to whilst waiting for my next holiday. A long trip in a car or plane is probably my best bet to catch a good read.

I'm still trying to catch time to read my JD Robb book I started just after we left home.

I've finished Burial Rites, thanks for the recommendation definitely worth reading. Started a book called Beautiful Ruins, downloaded it purely because it's set on Ligurian coast which I loved, only a few pages in, seems interesting.

Does anyone know if amazon gives you the heads up before you buy a book for the second time?

I think they do - they certainly warned me once, but that was a year or two ago and maybe policies have changed.  Perhaps you could buy a real cheapie then go back a couple of days later and buy the same one again and see what happens.

Usually they do. There is a message above the book saying when you purchased it. If it is not there and you are unsure you an always check  by going to manage your Kindle and searching your titles or authors. The same place you delete  your books.

I have bought the same book twice but it is usually a freebie or cheapie that was full,price before so perhaps those don't have a warning. In any case if you ask for your money back I doubt it would be a problem with Amazon.

Lee Child's  new Jack Reacher is now available. I pre ordered this book and it was delivered yesterday at $9.99 but on Amazon this morning it is $15.96. Pays to pre order sometimes!

Last night after finishing. Harry  Bosch I discarded  4 freebies as unreadable , boring or what the?  Need to be ruthless as I am working backwards to get to some books I really want to read. I must be more discerning regarding free books! Making a rule that it must have 4 stars, at least 25 reviews, not that I give much credence to most reviews, and not written by a housewife in Minnesota

I've just indulged in a little online shopping at Amazon, Gert.
Check out "She Left me the Gun" & "Tomorrow there Will Be Apricots", both look very good.

Interesting titles Amanda  :D

am enjoying Burial Rites so far. Don't like a few of the names tho as I have to think about who they belong to.

I am half way through reading Life In His Hands by Susan Wyndham.

The story of Charlie Teo the neurosurgeon and the operation he did on pianist Aaron McMillan.
