when I found .... [cue screams of joy here]

Patricia Wentworth's "Miss Silver" detective books

AND

Anne Perry's Charolette & Thomas Pitt detective books

AND

Things went dark for a few minutes ....
And I heard violins playing ....
And a roaring in my ears ....
[and the muted shrieking of my wounded credit card]

When my eyes finally focused on my computer screen ....

My index finger was aching, still poised over the "Buy Now With 1-Click" button, and my email notification indicated I had ..... errrr ..... "several" new emails from Amazon confirming my ..... errrr ..... purchases ....

I ran to my Kindle and activated the Wi-Fi .... and to my inexpressible horror
new books downloaded & appeared on my Home screen!

How could this have happened?
What will my friends in the Addicts club think of me?
How could I be so weak?

Is there any hope left for my shattered psyche?

Have to go read now ......
I have the perfect way to solve everyone's eBook buying problems. Send me your readers. You won't have them and you need to buy eBooks won't be as great.
