I read those at the end of 2010/beginning of 2011. They're a good read, I think. When you've finished, you might like the Musketeer Mysteries by Sarah S'Almeida (Sarah A. Hoyt), which are set at the time when D'Artagnan has just arrived in Paris.

Thanks, it looks interesting. I'll add it to my list... but this is definitely NOT the way to help an addict.

Just great. You vow not to buy any more books this year and yet you are now causing me to buy these.

No, you're welcome just to add them to a wish-list. Wait for a good deal at your favourite ebook store.

Alas, I didn't make it. I plead special circumstances. Fictionwise is closing down, and I've just bought the Jan 2013 issues of Analog and Asimov's. I would have bought them in January, but I don't think I could have bought them for over 50% off. (45% code and 15% buywise club = 53.25% off)

But no more! No more ebooks before February 2013. (Yes, I've added on a month.) No more ebooks until 1st February 2013.

Only 77 days to go!

They're not books.

I wonder if Fictionwise will have a big Going out of Business sale? Heehee.

I sympathise it got me too.

pdurrant · 11-17-2012, 05:46 PM

No, I'm holding out! No 40% off coupons are going to tempt me before 1st February 2013!

*whimpers* So far, I have gotten all my Swedish e-books from the library, since Swedish prices are outrageous. Except, now they are having a campaign and offers a bunch of the titles on my Swedish wishlist for 8 dollar or less. ( Normally an e-book costs at least 13 dollar.)
And I am really torn, since I want to reward them by buying some of the books.

If it's a special, time-limited offer, and the books are on your wishlist, it's within the rules to get some.

Unless you've made some special commitment to not buy anything?
