The End of Everything

I was appalled at the postage costs on both books. I wonder whether I should stick to e-books because it is so unfair to pay such a lot for postage.

The following is a free download from Amazon.


The Murder At Sissingham Hall (An Angela Marchmont Mystery #1)



2a

Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Reading the last book on my list by Clara Benson.

Set in a rather old fashioned setting of a country house we have a murder. Am just twenty percent through and enjoying it.

The weekend was busy but I did a lot of reading and finished two books. Back after going to Rozella - rain and cold. What a relief and now back to humid Colombo.

    I really liked The End of Everything.

    Those of us who do international giveaways know postage can be a lot so I don't think you should worry about it. Enjoy your wins!

    I agree with Kathy. Anyone hosting an international giveaway has planned for the postage. When I've had them, I've used Book Depository for the free international shipping. I think your conscience is clear! It's nice of you to worry about it though.

    Enjoy your week!
