Did you read Emma's War and what did you think about it ?

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, 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 southern and a bit dark. 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). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hi. Thanks for the interest, glad to see you like my library.

What are you reading now?

I wanted to thank you for accepting my friend request. Judging by some of the books in your library I thought you might be interested what I write. You can take a look at my books at www.SuburbanFiction.com - Let me know what you think, Alex Hutchinson

Hi A, I see you're interested in WWII; three catalogs you might take a look at: rudel519, shrike58 and mine. I'll bet you'll come up with some interesting titles. Cheers, A

Thanks, amolholm! These suggestions sound great. In return, I can recommend works by Antony Beevor, which as a WWII history buff you may also find compelling: Stalingrad, The Fall of Berlin 1945, and Paris After the Liberation.
