Patricia Wentworth's Miss Silver mysteries are couponable at Kobo. I've purchased one in the series on a KDD and two cheaply at Kobo.

![]() And, as pointed out, they are couponable at Kobo. ![]() All in all, I have a half dozen or so, and expect to get some more when a good coupon comes around. Most of the legitimate ones on Amazon are selling for $6.59-$6.99 right now. Or there may be more made available on PG Canada. IAC, I enjoy them. ETA: I notice in perusing the PG Canada site that there are a bunch of Wentworth books in the process of being completed, but not yet posted to the official PG Canada site, still on the Faded Page site. So it looks good for those of us in Canada, and other life+50 countries such as Australia. Last edited by CRussel; 04-09-2014 at 11:29 AM. |

Australia has a life+70 copyright law, not life+50. It changed a few years back. Those books which were in the public domain stayed there, but no new books will enter the Australian public domain until it "catches up" with life+70. So no PD Patricia Wentworth in Australia, I'm afraid.

Based on the numerous recommendations for it here, I've just started reading "The Martian" by Andy Weir. Only a few pages in, but very good thus far. Just the sort of book that I enjoy.

Can't wait to hear your opinions. I found it a modern version of Mysterious Island.

Looking for my next great read. After The Analyst and The Martian I want to keep the great reads going.
Was thinking Robin Hobb. I've heard good thing about her books but haven't read any. Where should I start? The Farseer trilogy? |

I'm sure you in particular will love it. It's heavy on the real science stuff..

I haven't read any Robin Hobb but if you're looking for recommendations for excellent fantasy, I highly recommend Blood Song by Anthony Ryan. It's the first in the Raven's Shadow trilogy. The second book, Tower Lord comes out in July. |

I was going back in library thing to see what series I have started and didn't continue. Two came up: I've read The Name of the Wind in the Kingkiller series. I've read Her's Majesty's Dragon book one of the Temeraire series. Thought, I'm not sure this series ends or is really a "trilogy" type series. Or just a collection of stories based on Tameraire. I've read The Bakers Boy book 1 of The Book of Words. Then again, the reasons I didn't continue any of these was because the first book didn't really impress me that much or leave me wanting to continue to store, so maybe I should leave them as they are, unless people can tell me they get much better. |

I'm about 1/3 of the way through The 2080s by Jeff Hannan that I picked up from the library here at MobileRead. The 2080s. The book was released via Creative Commons, but his web site is now offline. I've searched online and cannot find anything else from him. 'Tis a shame -- so far, this is a pretty good book.
