Matti Joensuu, To Steal Her Love (2008) | djskrimiblog - http://djskrimiblog.wordpress.com/2012...
Thank you for the book, Maxine. It was a very different pleasure :)
- Dorte Jakobsen
You're welcome, Dorte. As you write, it is rather an odd book - another series translated out of order.

Barnes & Noble Stores Will Not Stock Books Published By Amazon - GalleyCat - http://www.mediabistro.com/galleyc...
OT. The book shop war rages.

Not particularly news, though - they never have stocked Amazon books. I haven't noticed them in Waterstone's either. I haven't read the piece at the link but one claim booksellers make is that Amazon don't use the industry standard ISBN so this makes ordering/stock control impossible given that's how booksellers' supply chains work.
- Maxine
Really? How odd. I always heard that Amazon loved ISBNs because books were the only goods you could sell that came with cross-company standardized inventory numbers. Or maybe i dreamed that.
- barbara fister
Barbara you weren't dreaming, Bezos did indeed choose books as his first product mainly because of the consistency of the ISBN which made books different to music or movies which were his other options - but Amazon never took to barcodes as a means of product control and so created the 10 digit ASIN. Originally Amazon's ASIN was equivalent to the ISBN of a book - back when Amazon only...

- Bernadette
Yes, that's correct though I did not know the academic history which I for one find fascinating! Amazon used the ISBN when it first started and sold only books, then as Bernadette says it realised it needed a system for other items too and being bent on global domination of all online selling of all objects, they introduced their own. They still list print books with the ISBN and AISN...

Lovely book, Bernadette. If I had joined Barbara´s challenge, this one would be perfect for it.

I think I am 3 books behind on this series. Apparently even reading 177 books in one year is not enough to keep me up to date.
- Bernadette
I haven't read any. I suppose this one is just out as there have been several reviews of it in the past few days?
- Maxine
It's been out in rest of world for a while but have an idea it's only just out in US.
- Bernadette
Yesterday in the US. I received my ARC months ago, but didn´t get round to it immediately so I thought this was a good occasion.

Sorry, Dorte - not sure about this one this time.
- Margot Kinberg
José and Rhian have guessed it. Don´t know how José does it - he is fairly unbeatable.

Not really. Last week I was completely at lost, Dorte.

I do think these kinds of issues are important for readers as well...as someone who is already frustrated by things like geo-restrictions I don't want even more exclusivity in my future reading content
- Bernadette
And the stupid thing is that they will probably tempt thousands of new writers into it - writers whose books won´t be borrowed anyway. I think it is so important to have Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Diesel etc to make sure there is some level of competition.

thanks, I was waiting to see the answer as I knew I'd read it!

I know you had; I bought the first two in the series because I had read your recommendation - I´m looking forward to more books by her, but try not to buy any right now :)

Maxine has guessed the continent - and reviewed the book ;) - José and Norman have left some very helpful clues.

It's Looking Likely that I know the author thanks to the hints/google, I've read some books by this author. I enjoyed the standalone I read more than the series books.
- Karen Meek
I can see you do, Karen. Don´t know what they´ve done to Margot down under though ;)
- Dorte Jakobsen
Ah, thanks to all the clues, I get it now. Luckily I reviewed the book fairly recently otherwise I probably would still have no idea!
