HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, JIMMYD’S!
YAY, we have made it to our first real “milestone” – I can’t believe it has been five years already!
We want to reward our lovely loyal customers (and those of you that still stumble across us by accident!) by offering this GREAT reward until the 31st March 2012:
Purchase $50 of BOOKS in one transaction and get a FREE KeepCup or Envirosack
Come and take advantage of this – NOW is the time to stock up on the Brontes/Thackerays/Dickens/Matthew Reillys you have been meaning to read for ages. Not only will you get service with a smile, you will also get to carry your great books away in a stylish reusable shopping bag, or read through them while sipping from your new bonus reusable takeaway coffee cup!
JimmyD’s – spreading the love since 2007
Plum power
JimmyD’s staff have very different tastes in crime fiction. One of us enjoys “foreign” crime (Scandinavian in particular), one of us enjoys a good psychological thriller, and one of us is devoted to old-school detective fiction. So it is not often that we stumble across a book that all of us have read, and when we do, it is a very rare occurence indeed if all of us have enjoyed reading it.
One of the rare crowd pleasers:
‘One for the Money’ by Janet Evanovich caters for those who enjoy solid characters, those who like a bit of wit to break up the tension, and those that like to read about something a *bit* different than lawyers in a courtroom – come on, who doesn’t love a bounty hunter? Stephanie Plum is a sassy heroine with a shaky (and hilarious) love life, and the “bad guy” is such a rogue you will probably end up cheering for him.
Not to mention, Janet Evanovich has released a Stephanie Plum novel at the rate of one per year for 18 years (so far). So if you enjoy the first one, why not keep going? (Admittedly, the quality starts to slide a bit, but they are still good fun and you really don’t have to pay too much attention to the plot!)
Let us know if you need any other suggestions, or if we can help you find an author that suits your taste.

We are on a retro lolly kick! Check out these gorgeous bags of handmade fruit rock candy. The passionfruit ones are DIVINE. Sweet toothers can also find at JimmyD’s: Wagon Wheels, White Knights (yuuuum), lolly cups that have those cool creepy teeth things, Redskins and Milkos. And for a limited time, L’Yan’s favourite indulgence – Cadbury Creme Eggs. She says, “you better get in quick, before I eat them all.”
