'Tis been a while since I was last logged in. I'm now reading A Cruel Deceit by Lauren Haney. It's the 6th of 8 mystery novels set in ancient Egypt. Most of the books in the series are a measly $0.99 for the Amazon Kindle. Since I had started reading the dead tree editions, I quickly bought all the rest of the series in eBook format.

I'm loving the recommendations I've seen in this thread. Several of them have been on my "I intend to read sometime" list -- which never gets any shorter because I keep adding books to it. See:

On my list!

Also on my list.

Just downloaded it. Can't pass up freebies, particularly when they come with a good recommendation.

Sounds like a really good book. I added it to the list!

These have been on my list for a long time. I have the first two books in hand, so I probably ought to schedule them in sometime soon.
