I refuse to enumerate my TBR list - but it's long enough to go into a hardcover edition!

^What about not-so-harmless moderators?

I'm almost tempted by the Kindle deal of the day. I'm hoping the temptation will pass.

Well, people would see that my post was edited by a moderator... No hiding of traces here!

(tip: double check if you quote somebody that you actually pressed "quote" and not "edit", I've done that several times )

There a simple guideline to help you here. Were the books on your Amazon wishlist? If they were, and they're on a temporary special offer, you may buy them with this thread's blessing. Otherwise..


Hey! Reader! Leave those books alone!

I never use wishlists with stores... So, that won't go for me!

Oooh. Dito launched. One book for 3.99? That one is also 3.99. Oh. Look. They have books in English. Ooh. I cannot buy that one normally due to georestrictions. I want to read that one. And that one. And...

*adds the books to wishlist*

I guess it is a good thing I haven't signed up yet. Mainly because I have a Bokus account, and you should be able to use it to login at Dito, but it doesn't work yet.
Once it works, and the English titles is live ( you cannot buy them yet), I'll probably buy books there. Just what I needed, another bookstore .
