My Kindle has started playing up, trying to email books to it and they’re just not appearing? Bullshit!

I think they recently introduced a verification service to the email to Kindle feature. After sending something are you getting an email asking to approve the document?

Not that I’ve seen. I’ve tried emailing it direct from the publishers website and downloading the file and emailing it from my account and just… nothing? And there’s no way to check where it’s gone or anything. Idk. Can still download stuff from Amazon okay.

Hmmm that’s odd. Stupid question but is the email address linked to your Amazon account up to date? Have you checked in your Amazon settings that the email address you are sending it from is on the ‘safe senders’ list?

I think it is but I’ll have another play around with it

Hey look!

Excellent choice, I hope you enjoy it! Remember if you are into them there are two more afterwards :+1:

(really weird that despite there having been six books for a very long time the publishing of it as a quartet persists [though the age of your copy it might well have been just the four about tbf], I can only assume it is because the full series makes for a pretty massive tome [about 1,000 pages, iirc] so it is easier and cheaper to keep making the four book version to sell more, such a shame though as plenty of people won’t realise there is more to read!)

Mine’s just a trilogy! But there were definitely only 3 when this copy was published. Read the first 4 as a young person… don’t think I was aware of the other 2 when they were published. Going to read them all this year :blush:.

I am on a book reading hot streak! Recently read:

Eve Out of Her Ruins by Ananda Devi
Revolting Prostitutes by Juno Mac and Molly Smith
Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
The Death of Grass by John Christopher
The Polyglot Lovers by Lina Wolff

My review: all pretty good! Actually the Polyglot Lovers was a bit shite. Thanks.

I have read The Death of Grass, and I agree that it is pretty good.

Been buying way too many books and really don’t know what to read next. Any suggestions?

Just finished The Goshawk. Lovely - cheers for the recommendation @anon26275971 @shrewbie

I’m going to become an austringer now.

Finished another YA crimey thing last night, The Hanging Girl. I bought it cause it had tarot cards on the cover and was well cheap. It was alright for a YA crime for a while but ended up very much all over the place and I did not like the ending. And again I’d have given it at least another round of editing. Some of this author’s favourite things included talking about getting a sour taste in your mouth, being able to smell someone’s stale coffee breath, people throwing their hands up in the air for any sort of emotional display, and never saying that someone simply turned around, they always SPUN.

2/5, disappointingly. Left me wanting in the tarot cards/witchy categories.

Just finished this… loved the first two thirds. The last section felt pretty messy and unfocused. Felt like she didn’t really know what she wanted to do with it. Less characters and less going on would’ve made a better book.

Going to read the new Patrick Ness next. Semi-excited. Usually a bit disappointed by his new ones, as even his good books are never quite up to the standard of the Chaos Walking trilogy. But you never know. It apparently has dragons as farmhands in an alternative 50s America in it.

Then I’ll read Wolf Hall. Maybe.

Oh shit? Now? Want
