laundry, amazon & books.. oh my!

So the other day.. I went through and rewishlisted my entire list on amazon.com over to amazon.ca. took about 2 hours, things listed differently, not listed at all.. having to dig for them.. you would THINK that having the accounts work on both sites, the wishlists would too.. -wrinkles nose. Some stuff got removed, some stuff was added.. mostly books concerning henry the 8th and his assortment of wives… I’m looking to find pick up some concerning Elizabeth as well.. Queen Mary…I’ve had this addiction to historical fiction, ever since reading The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory.

Phillipa Gregory herself has been a bit of a treasure hunt for me as well. I’ve owned OTBG for quite a few months now, and recently picked up her book Meridon. I read this while traveling home to my parents, and then of course, I discovered that it was the 3rd book in a series. So I set out to find the other two books. EVERYwhere in the States I looked, it was listed as out of print or not released yet. I have a sneaky suspicion I’ve discovered her in the middle of a reprint -huffs-. So I checked Amazon.ca, and they had the first two books in the series available, K ordered them for me. The second book has apparently shipped, but I won’t read it till I get the first one. There are several other books that are available of hers from .ca, but I shall wait.
