Let's Try This One More Time...

I told myself I wasn't allowed to buy the Kindle 3G til I finished plowing through all the books on my nightstand...

But, that was before I found out Plum Sykes' new mini-memoir, Oxford Girl, was being released as a 'Kindle Single' in celebration of Amazon's new fashion site...

All Kindle buying discipline goes out the window when it comes to tales of "living like the Mitfords" and a "childhood of faded grandeur"...

I'm such a sucker for anything Plum Sykes to begin with. Add "poverty-stricken debutantes" to the mix and it's helloooo Kindle time pile o' books or no pile o' books...

Kindness of Babe for sending me the Oxford Girl
intel. Annnd for the Kindle 3G I'm about to purchase...XXOO

  14. Am greatly enjoying this previously unnoticed section of your site. Adore Plum Sykes. Will, however, buy the hardcover if available. Am old school like that.
