I wanted to let you know that a copy of my book was mailed to you from Gross-Gerau, Germany, on the 17th of September. I do hope you will enjoy my writing, and I look forward to your review.

Noticed you liked The God of Small Things, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a grief-stricken family. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

Aga,

Thank you for paying me the supreme compliment of adding me to your 'interesting libraries' list.

I'm half Polish and have been delving into non-traditional Polish music for the last several years. I'm just starting to get into Polish cinema and literature at this point, so am always looking for good suggestions (though I don't speak Polish yet, sadly, hence the need for translated versions).

I'd be happy to reserve "A Wild Sheep Chase" for you.

Hey Aga,

I saw that you're wondering whether to read "Nervous Conditions" - I read it earlier this year, and I loved it. It was one of those books which really made me feel like I'd "been somewhere" - a country and a culture I know little about, and beautiful writing.

Hi

I know "Infidel" is a really popular book and it's hard to get on BM so I'll hold on to it for awhile. I have plenty of points so I'm in no hurry to list it. If you accumulate more points in a few weeks then I'll list it for you.

Hi

I do send books internationally but because of the price of shipping I request a 2 book minimum.

Hey Aga,

Hope you've had a good week. Thanks again for sending the book so quickly - I'm really looking forward to reading it.

You asked what I thought of Krajewski. I'm finding his writing style quite hard (it's a question of vocabulary, so obviously it won't concern you!). However, I'm captivated by the picture of 1920's Breslau that he's painting for me. Even though I don't understand everything, I feel like I'm there - it's extremely atmospheric. I think you'll like him.

Milego weekendu!

czeszc Aga, co slyhac?

mam propozycje dla ciebie. Czy chcesz czytac The Dogs of Riga po angielsku? Jesli chcesz, wysle Ci The Dogs of Riga, a ty chyba mozesz wyslac mi jakas ksziaske po polsku - co ty na to? Jak zgadzasz sie, wylslij mi jakis PM z adresem, i ja zrobie to samo.
Na prawde nie wiem dokladnie, co chcialabym czytac po polsku - chyba cos podobno do Grocholy...proste ale nie glupie. Wiesz, jeszcze nie zbyt duzo wiem o polskiej literaturze, wiec jesli masz jakis pomysl (cos ze podobal Ci sie, na przyklad), chetnie to czytam.
Moj egzemplarz The Dogs of Riga to nie nowe (juz uzywany byl kiedy kupilam go), ale jest w bardzo dobrym stanie.

Co o tym myslysz?

Milego weekendu!

Rachel

I'm so sorry I haven't sent out your book yet! I've been swamped with real life stuff but I'll definitely have it in the post by Monday! And I plan to send it by air mail so you should get it within a few weeks.

posted by jibrailis at 5:24 pm (EST) on Aug 23, 2008

No hurry. I will just post it and make a reservation for you that will last at least 7 days. Let me know if you need more time.

posted by budrfly9 at 3:18 pm (EST) on Aug 21, 2008

Its a used copy that I picked up in a bookstore over the weekend.
I bought it with the intent of posting it because I recently mooched and received one.

posted by budrfly9 at 11:55 am (EST) on Aug 21, 2008

I have a copy of Picture Perfect by Jodi Picoult that I will be listing on Bookmooch. Send me a PM if you would like me to reserve it for you.

posted by budrfly9 at 7:19 pm (EST) on Aug 20, 2008

I really loved "The 19th Wife" and I hope you enjoy it when your copy arrives! I found another copy for myself here.

I hope you're enjoying the last days of the summer and if you get time, please sit outdoors at a cafe and enjoy a beer or a coffee (depending on your preference). That thing where everyone spends time outside just enjoying the summer is one of the things I miss most about living in Europe.

I would love to mooch Bollywood Nights

Dzieki!

Mieszkam od 6 lat w Brukseli (pracuje w Komisje Europejskim). Mowie po francusku, po hiszpansku i po wlosku (i oczywiscie po angielsku - jestem angielka), wiec jezyk polski to cos zupelnie innego dla mnie!
Wlasciwie w sobote pojade do Polski! Bede robila kurs 3-tygodniowy w Sopocie.
A ty, gdzie mieskasz w Polsce?

posted by rachbxl at 5:12 am (EST) on Jul 31, 2008

Try listing some of the more popular Polish books if you have any. There may be some Polish BookMooch members living in Britain or Ireland who would really love to read them!

posted by RidgewayGirl at 10:03 am (EST) on Jul 28, 2008

What is your username on Bookmooch?

posted by budrfly9 at 2:50 pm (EST) on Jul 27, 2008

Are you a Picolt fan? I have a few other works by her. When dig them out of hiding to post on Bookmooch I can make sure to pitch them to you first.

posted by budrfly9 at 2:24 pm (EST) on Jul 27, 2008

Have you considered joining BookMooch? It can be a good way to get books in english. It's set up to encourage exchanging books internationally and I use it to get books in german (which are quite difficult to find and expensive here in the USA). Anyway, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask...

posted by RidgewayGirl at 1:23 pm (EST) on Jul 27, 2008

I am sorry. The offer was for LTers who are Bookmooch members as well.

Hi Agatatera, and thanks for the comment you left.

Pozdrawiam,
Rachel

Nie tak już mało. Niedawno wersja polska przekroczyła 100 użytkowników, co nie obejmuje sporej ilości korzystających z wersji angielskiej. A polska dalej rośnie :)

Trochę "nas" tu mało, to fakt :) Dzięki za odwiedziny i pozdrawiam :)

I did indeed see your comment in the 75 book challenge thread. We comment back and forth in each other's threads all the time, so I'll see it there. It looks like you have a pretty good list of books for the year so far. I'm eager to see what else you'll be reading!
