It was fun. It -- and the sequels -- have been on my wishlist for a long time. I'd love to send you this book and #3 in the series, The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library. I don't have a copy of #2, but if I locate a copy, I could share it as well.Kiri wrote:*can't sleep.. the pages will eat me.. * Just kidding.

Oh well I just received 1 bookcrossing book from intri. I tried to read it but it was so sad.

I just started reading The Widow of the South and I'm really enjoying it. It's historical fiction with a story that starts in the 1860s in Tennessee as the War Between the States is coming to an end. I think I'm about 1/2 way into it and it's very good.Marlene wrote:elsi, what about The Widow of The South? is it any good?

You're doing well Marlene! And you've got some great books on that list. Some that I have read and enjoyed are...
Strange Bedpersons (a quick read)
Coffee, Tea or Me
Little Lady, Big Apple
Can't believe you only have 39 books left on Mount TBR

Yes it feels so much better now owing so many books.
Otherwise I would not have taken the 5 books from the Dutch meeting.
I did notice I forgot one book . We need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver which MsJoanna gave me and which I just finished and loved.
It has been a while since I read a BC book and this one was superb!
Sunny. I started the Strange Bedpersons but it annoys me to be honest. It feels like a romance instead of a chick lit?
Good work Nikel!
