(They also have remainder books at fabulous prices.)Just a thought. I like to spread my limited book budget around as well. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the update on this series. I have it on my list as well as a team drinking series by Laura Childs - both I've been meaning to get to, but reading needs must. Hopefully I'll be able to slip them in between other stuff I've promised myself to read this year.<br /><br />I don't mind learning a thing or two while I'm solving a murder. :)<br />Especially if the thing or two concerns two of my passions: coffee and tea.<br /><br />I know the Hamptons from years ago when I still lived in the city and we used to go out to Montauk in the summers. It is a glorious place, scenery-wise and fun-shopping-wise. But you need lots of money and eventually we drifted away, unable to afford even a few days there.<br /><br />But I have fond memories and a few photos.:)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-81013966888292912672012-03-27T08:52:25.808-04:002012-03-27T08:52:25.808-04:00I succumbed!!!

I have to tell you, though, even though he is bad and married again, as well, I like Matteo better than Detective Quinn. I just think Matt is a more "alive" character. I wonder if he and Clare will ever get back together? Whatever -- the whole combination of coffee, Claire, and mystery keeps me coming back for more. And the coffee descriptions are great, too.

I've tried out a Kindle that belongs to a friend, and while it's easy to read off of, not holding a book doesn't feel right to me yet (there's also still a feeling of reading off a screen - and on a computer for instance I find I can't read long pieces, I need it on paper). I still like the attraction of having many books on an e-reader though. I'll have to think about it.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-66962920671145934702012-03-26T09:49:41.225-04:002012-03-26T09:49:41.225-04:00Oh this makes me want some Kona coffee.
