Sometimes the Amazon emails are quite interesting and helpful. Often they are not.

It is definitely worth a look at the Amazon Kindle store, to see if I can find them for free (or at least at a low price) in English.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-60476629815665648462012-10-10T18:48:39.702+02:002012-10-10T18:48:39.702+02:00love that last pic... and oh yes, i am being bomba...love that last pic... and oh yes, i am being bombarded daily with my newletter is signed up for, but also their Suggestions, and all their suggestions are taken from all the things i click on when i go there. yes hey do track our likes and dislikes and send accord ling.<br />several years ago, i went to Target on line, found 2 ottomans i wanted, but they were 80 each plus a lot of shipping. for a couple of months i would get emails with pics of them and 10 percent off, then 15 percent off. 2 months after i looked at them i got the email that said 20 percent off your order today with free shipping.

Another title I recognize is The House of Arden, but I have no clear memory of it. Through the years I've come across lots of references to Edith Nesbit and her influence on other authors of children's books (I think, for example, that C.S. Lewis mentioned her as well). So I was delighted to find an e-collection of her works on Amazon. (I paid a few dollars for the compilation but the books are probably also available one by one for free.) So I look forward to reading some more. I still love reading children's books like that in between adult ones!

What I do get, though, is a list of suggestions based on what I recently looked at there.<br />Right now, I am so delighted to have found out that you are, like myself, an Edith Nesbit fan! I own several of her books and have loved them since childhood, my favourite ones being "The Enchanted Castle" and "The Enchanted City". Which ones are yours?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
