About meI'm Iris, 22 and I'm from the Netherlands.
====
Studies have recommenced, which means my reading will be slower, as I have lots of study-books that have to be read (unfortunately, most only partly).

About my libraryMost of the books in here are books I own. Some of them read, some of the unread. I have stopped adding new unread books for now: I'm trying to add books when I've actually read them. I also list books that are still at my parents house, or that are owned by my boyfriend (and that I'm still planning on reading, or have read). Some of the books I have read from the library are also in here, although I only started adding them recently, so I've missed out on 20 years of library-reading.

Hi Iris,

Nope I'm not from the Netherlands. But you are right I have no idea who she is (until I read her book). I got the book because i'm taking a 21st C literature course and Infidel is on the prescribed reading list along with Kafka on the Shore, Up loud and Incredibly Close, Unaccustomed Earth and Ignorance. Thanks for leaving me a message!

Thanks for entering the giveaway!

Thanks Iris! If you ever make it to England you could do much worse than the gorgeous Peak District... every day I get to drive (well, be driven) to work through a beautiful green valley full of trees and fields and farmhouses, then walk from the car along the sparkling river teeming with ducks and huge fish, to my little shop by the old stone bridge. At lunchtime there are farm shops and tea rooms everywhere, and in the afternoon Mum takes over the shop floor and I can just relax, surrounded by books, in our little office. How's that sound? :-D
P.S. Glad to see you liked 'Wuthering Heights' - I've read it twice now and loved it - have you seen the film with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche? She's a bit of an irritating Cathy (but then, the character was a bit that way anyway!) but the film is beautifully done and always makes me cry!
Oooh - I can see we are both Jane Austen fans! I am flatted you added me to your interesting libraries list. Good luck with your reading and adding books as you get them read.

Thanks for participating in the Early Reviewers / Member Giveaway program!

Hi Iris!
I'm glad the book finally got there.
Thanks for letting me know.
Enjoy!

Hi Iris!

It's always nice to meet people on LT, especially people my own age. Thanks for the good wishes for the shop - it's kind of taken over our lives now. We seem to have gone from 'just thinking about it' to 'drowning in a sea of books, painting all day and about to get the shelves installed' so very quickly, it's all a bit of a blur! Sometimes it takes nice comments on LibraryThing to remind me to look at the big picture at the end of another day hanging over a tin of gloss paint or dangling off a ladder with a paintbrush... Stop by again soon - I have a thread on the 50-Book challenge too:

My husband's family is from a town called Elburg. I looked up Hengelo and Hengevelde on the map too. Eventually my husband wants to go to the Netherlands to visit.

I just looked Groningen up on the map. It's nice to know where people are. I'm in the central part of North Carolina, USA - Pittsboro - south of a larger town called Chapel Hill where my husband grew up.

Regards,
Karen
Hello Iris! Thanks for making contact. We have 41 books in common, lot of them my favorites. I'm in the 888 challenge too.

My husband's family is originally from the Netherlands. He's asleep right now and I can't remember the name of the town, but they emigrated to the US in the 1860s. There are still Hengevelds in the Netherlands that he's been in touch with.

See you around!
Where in the Netherlands are you? I have a few friends in Drouen and AHHH I can't remember the name of the town but it's on the train between Drouen and Amsterdam and has a big cathedral!! The frustration of growing old.
