I'm still in that phase. I have a TON of unread freebies in my Amazon account. I had so many of them on my Kindle that it was bogging down, so I finally deleted most of them from the device.

I really liked the Phryne Fisher novels -- reading through them at a rapid pace, particularly after I discovered that the first 19 books were available through the library's
Freading service. I received #20 as a gift, and then borrowed the book of short stories (
A Question of Death) from the library shortly afterward. One thing that I think helped me enjoy the books so much was that I had seen the first 6 or so episodes of the TV series and so I visualized the main characters as they had been cast.
