Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye.
Seinfeldia by Jennifer Armstrong
Why I have it: Because “…the sea was angry that day, my friends…”.
Summary: The story behind Seinfeld, the ‘show about nothing’ that was everything.

Black Water by Louise Doughty
Why I have it: Because I enjoyed Apple Tree Yard.
Summary: Man hides out on a tropical island, certain someone is trying to kill him.
I’m thinking: No. The sample chapter, although generous, wasn’t enough to hook me.

Why I have it: Just seems it is everywhere…
Summary: Eleanor decides it’s a ‘get-shit-done’ day. And then all sorts of stuff – not planned stuff and not stuff initiated by Eleanor – happens.
I’m thinking: Yes. Made me LOL.
