Thank you all for the welcome back wishes.
I'm making up for lost time, already bought another 3 $.99 deals this afternoon [see below]. Like libraryaddict I'm saving up my Kobo buys til the end of the contest too, so for me both this week and probably next will be over budget, and I'm OK with that! And thanks to apesmom for giving me a few 'welcome back' gifts also!
Bought both
W. Ferraro - Three of Hearts and Three of Spades
and
Irresistible Desire by Danielle Jamie
