About meI'm excited about discovering Isabel Allende's books ..... And I've been reading Alice Munro. The Book 'View from Castle Rock' is significant to me because in this book she describes the early settling of my home area and the fictional characters speak to my imagination on how it was for my ancestors.
About my libraryGot the bookcases organized. When I was buying a new bookcase for my expanding collection, a furniture dealer actually said that bookcases were not used anymore because everything was digital with pads and such. Poor little man.

I'd like to apologize. You recently won my novel, Dirty Little Angels, through The LibraryThing Member Giveaway. Unfortunately, I mistakenly posted the giveaway as a physical book instead of an e-book, so when I received the list of winners, no emails were included. Are you interested in receiving a free e-book version of the novel? If so, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you a free copy.
Sorry for the confusion,
Chris

Thank you so much for reviewing Last Train From Berlin.
I appreciate your kind comments and especially the fact that you found reading about "the wartime struggles of ordinary people"
interesting, because that's precisely the story I wanted to tell. I am grateful for readers like you.
Enjoy the rest of the summer.
Most sincerely,
Irene Magers

I haven't made it to the Blyth sale in 4 or 5 years now. My husband is always planting that weekend, which means I'm busy doing barn chores, and taking the kids to Clinton Fair. I used to really enjoy it when I could get there. This year will be the first year in ages that I'll miss the Rotary book sale in Goderich. It is this weekend at the craft sale on the Square, and has always been very good. But I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so that's out for this year.

My library, like yours, started out as various piles in every room, grew into bookcases in every room and is now in the process, thanks to LibraryThing, of getting organized. I am so happy to have found this site full of people who seem to be bookaholics as myself. Best regards.
