Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're into Memoir Books. Have you read Home After Dark? Here's a link: http://www.fivestarpublications.com/afte...
I just had to comment that I love the user name you chose; it was my first choice! lol. Enjoyed your profile. =)
Sorry Hester, only just seen your invite. Muchas gracias for it. My Spanish is not good enough to read the books in Spanish, i.e. I'm waiting to tackle "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and am currently reading "Malinche" by Laura Esquivel, who also wrote that gem "Like Water for Chocolate" - neither, alas, in the original. Yes, this will be my casa now and again when I can balance it against other interests.

Hasta la proxima
Thanks for the invite!
Hello Hester,
Are you from Spain? YES
Are you Spaniard-friendly? YES
Do you LOVE tortilla de patatas? MEDIO
Are you in love with a Spaniard? NO
Are you in love with this lovable country? YES
Are you the Spanish version of a bookworm (ratón de biblioteca)? ENGLISH VERSION
Then, mi amiga, mi amigo, this is your CASA.

It's a nice idea for a group - Good Luck!
Hi. Thanks so much for your kind feedback. God, I wish I knew Spanish! Your blog looks amazing.

Did you see particularly:

http://sarahsiegelstories.blogspot.com/2..., where I mention Madrid?

I'd be honored if you visited again and added a comment to any of the postings on the blog that inspired you particularly....No pressure. It would just be fun to have another comment from someone beyond the United States.
thanks a lot Hester for the invitation, let's see how it goes!
