Interesting month. I was interested to see how Dirty Little Secrets would do as it is available for free through Kindle Prime. I guess the Kindle has less pull than I thought.

In case this hasn't already been mentioned, in some countries (eg England, Australia) "Outlander" is titled "Cross Stitch". Apparently this was the title originally chosen by the author, but the American publishers thought it sounded too much like an embroidery book! When I searched my local library catalogue, "Outlander" was only available as an ebook (with several holds on it), but there are three copies of "Cross Stitch" available for loan.
