About my libraryI write reviews for my own sake, so the reviews in my library may contain spoilers.
I make an effort to review a reasonable amount of the books I read, but it is a bit random which ones. Usually the best books don't warrant reviews - probably because there is so little to complain about.

Your post made MY day, because even though I don't read the style of books the original person was asking about, it was so very evident (her?) needs were being sidetracked without thought.
Your post is not just a gift to readers looking for their next title, but to the authors who work so hard to produce the books - it is everything when the books reach the right hands, and readers are so important in that link.
Always a pleasure to see someone so thoughtful!

You asked about where in Turku you could find fantasy and science fiction books. I haven't been in Turku recently, but I think that the Akateeminen kirjakauppa is probably your best choice. It is the biggest bookstore in Turku and they have usually a good selection of English books (also paper backs). The address is Eerikinkatu 15 (it is centrally situated). Their telephone is +358-9-121 9998. Unfortunately I don't know if there are any bookstores that are specialized in fantasy and science fiction.
I hope you have a nice stay in Turku.

I thoroughly enjoyed the love story piece in the book..he has unusual insight into women..his characters are quite
believeable.
Have you read it? Oh do please.

I saw you removed a reply on Bug Collector - strange where you meet people on the internet :)

Jeg var på Eurocon sidste år, så jeg regner også med at afsætte noget tid til at besøge Fantasticon i år + komiks.dk ser rigtig spændende ud med alle de udenlandske tegnere/forfattere, der kommer.

Thank you !!
