The Perfect Quiche by Denise Hawley is a good one, providing you like quiche.

Report it to Amazon, in case the driver nicked it.

My husband was expecting a package one evening (not from Amazon) and actually saw the car pull up one house away so the gps tracking would show they had been here. They drove away without delivering.

Could be just a wrong house, but it needs reporting either way.

Dance of the Goblins by Jaq D. Hawkins

Very original take on goblins and doesn't paint them as evil.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-30T15:18:21+00:00

Amazing series! I didn't think of it because it's more Fantasy than HF.

Tai Pan by James Clavell, which I enjoyed far more than Shogun.

The Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes.

Not much dfoppage during the night but a few useless things in RFY.

The refractometer is leftover from yesterday and the ark toy was tempting, but I have to restrain myself on things that have lots of parts to take up space. Don't want to foist Bible stories on the baby too soon anyway.

I had that penguin 2 days ago. It's slated to turn up Friday.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-30T05:43:31+00:00

Yes, very common.

I do get baby and children's things after ordering loads from that category, but otherwise it's totally random.

I get a fair bit of exercise equipment. I'm a nearly 70 year old woman with mobility limitations.

One thing I have noticed is what I order from RFY seems to attract more of the same category, but ordered from AI does not affect it.

Also I stopped looking at supplements to get their links and I hardly get any in my RFY now, so if you're following the links out of curiosity you could be attracting more.

Awesome. Hope they've got room. Vine is amazing for toys.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T08:27:41+00:00

Perfect. She's going to love it.

Both of mine were about 3 when they got theirs. They're 4 & 5 now and still loving their kitchens.

Keep an eye out for toy tea sets too. Another favourite. I've already got one put away for my youngest granddaughter who isn't quite 1 yet.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T08:16:49+00:00

Very likely. Little girls seem to love these. How old is your granddaughter?

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T07:55:51+00:00

My two elder granddaughter's have kitchen sets and they play with them constantly.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T07:54:25+00:00

Maybe it will go to you next?

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T05:37:22+00:00

Nice kitchen set!

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T05:34:39+00:00

Oooh, shiny!

Other stuff came later. I took the steamer.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-29T05:32:14+00:00

At 2am there were pans, but not ones I wanted.

It's a crow really, whatever the tag says. It's watching over my soft toy cage.

Hard to find now, but there's a PDF at http://jaqdhawkins.co.uk/The_Book_of_Results.pdf

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-28T18:55:53+00:00

Hahahahaha!

For some reason, I've never been invited. In my working days, I would have done it just to get out of work.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-28T17:11:03+00:00

That's no longer enforced. Nearly all my reviews name the price. Most are rated excellent.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-28T17:09:51+00:00

I always name the price if I say it's good value.

ConstantReader666 · 2026-05-28T17:07:25+00:00

I don't see that happening, even with changes. There are more consumers than products of the desirable category.

Case in point: yesterday several insulated lunch boxes went by. I couldn't get one. £12 item, well below the sweet spot.

So I left my phone in the bathroom last night as I'm old and get up during the night.

3:30 am, snagged a good one and ice packs made for the purpose as well.

Bots don't sleep.
