Heard of the Book Depository site yet? Well if you haven't you MUST check it out!

The lovely Liz Fielding put me onto it. It's an online book shop, based in the UK, but it offers FREE WORLDWIDE DELIVERY. Yep, absolutely free. Postage will cost you nadda. I've just pre-ordered a Kelly Hunter Modern Heat and Lucy King's first Modern Heat today. So if you missed a Mills and Boon or Harlequin release in the past couple of months and are kicking yourself, get thee to the Book Depository site now!!!

Apart from buying books online being pretty darned addictive, they have a site called Book Depository live, in which they have a map of the world with constant updates on what people all over the planet have bought from them in the past few minutes.

Eg. "Someone in Finland bought "Exterminators: The Bug Brothers" 28 minutes ago. Someone in Ireland bought "Stir-Fry Favourites" 1 miunte ago. Someone in Canana bought "The Hatches Handbook" 7 minutes ago."

It a) makes you feel like you're peeking into someone's shopping bag which is fascintating enough, but it also b) shows you the kinds of book out there you never even knew existed! Too much fun.

DATING THE REBEL TYCOON and GETTING RED-HOT WITH THE ROGUE are available there now.
