About meI am a full-time copyeditor, a part-time theology student, and a constant reader.
About my libraryMy collection here at LT contains all the books I've read in recent years, all the books I own, and some that I just want to read.
I have a pretty small house, so as a general rule I only keep books that I expect I'll want to reread, that I want to keep for reference, or that complete a set. Currently, I have collected several shelves full of books that I haven't actually read because I keep getting distracted by new finds at the library, so I have a large TBR stack that I'm trying to do most of my reading from at present. As I work through my TBRs I'll be trading them away at Bookmooch and Paperbackswap, and giving them away on my blog.

I read some more of your reviews and it seems that we are in agreement about many books we have both read. I totally agree with your assessment of Never Let Me Go. I absolutely loved it and the fact that its contemporary rather than futurist made it even easier to relate to.
I also LOVED your review of Persuasion:
This novel demonstrates the power of the tiniest movement between lovers. A flick of the eye or a turn of the head can be pregnant with meaning. Anne scrutinizes every move that Captain Wentworth makes and every word that he says. Any woman who has had a crush knows this experience. When the object of our affection is in the room, can we ever be fully aware of anything else? Austen’s ability to capture the tension inherent in encounters between potential lovers is, I think, one of the things that makes her novels so popular today. Even knowing how the novel would end, I felt Anne’s tension. That’s how good the writing is. All I can say is amen!!!

Posting to the U.S no problem at all. I'm planning to read my copy of Good Behaviour soon so we may well end up reading it as the same time!
Good luck with your future Virago searching!

I do read Shelf love most days too, and yours/Jenny's was one of the first to be added to my blogroll when I started - could I ask you a favour to add mine to yours - thanks in anticipation.
I've added you to my interesting libraries, and one day when I have a bit more time I promise I'll explore in a bit more detail.
Cheers

The only thing I hate about the book is not knowing how things turned out. Like I wonder what happened to the young lady who was the family maid. The one who fell in love with a boy across the way. A few pages later, they have a middle aged woman maid. So we never found out what happened to the young woman when the flirtation ended.
Or maybe I just haven't read far enough.
