Book squee

I often trawl the sites with free ebooks; new releases marked down to promote interest in a series or very old books that are in the public domain.

Yesterday I found that Project Gutenberg Australia had Diary of a Provincial lady and The PL Goes Further, by E M Delafield! I've been looking for ebooks of the PL series for ages; I own them all, even the Russian one, but there's something very satisfying about having them on my Kobo. Usually, some of her lesser known novels are on the sites, but not the PL ones.

I also found a Kindle version of a very rare Elinor M Brent-Dyer The School by the River on Amazon; not free, but well worth $9.99. Only a handful of physical copies of the book exist, so being able to find/afford one was unlikely, but Girls Gone By are reprinting many books like this, beautiful facsimile editions with original cover/illustrations. I hadn't realized they were starting to make them into ebooks too, but I'm very chuffed.

Ditto for two D E Stevenson books. I snapped up Mrs Tim of the Regiment when it was on special offer last month but I'm trying to resist pre-ordering Miss Buncle's Book. Ten dollars is a lot for an ebook I own, but I adore that book so much. Strangely, there's a twelve dollar version out now.

Wreck-It Ralph

Eleanor insisted I watched the trailer for a new Disney movie; and it comes out just before L's birthday in November, which is excellent timing as it gives us a reason to go.

It does look fun, though I don't know why I'm slightly aggravated that the character Jane Lynch is voicing also looks like her. I know they do this all the time, but it still bugs me a little.

New Suits sneak peeks for 2.1

Cannot wait. I need me some Harvey/Mike with a dash of Louis and Donna and Jessica.

Rachel, not so much.

Sneak peeks, obviously spoilery
