    I think I have one of their Kindle ones, and had intended to buy others on the drip, but mine is an older Kindle that they aren't updating, and last time I bought a book, I had to read it on the app. That could give me eye strain if I'm not careful.

    I've not read TGotHC and it's really the one I should aim for as it's right at the beginning and I liked Cicely as a character. Later ones can be a bit 'churned out' and lacking in character, I think.

    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
