Hi there, I saw your comment asking what I thought of my Santathing books. I did it twice this year so I'm afraid I'll need you to remind me what the other book(s) were apart from Julie and the Wolves. I saved the parcels until Christmas day to open and gots lots of other books as well so I haven't read all of them yet. I read some of Julie and the Wolves and I'm afraid I didn't like it :( I really wanted to like it as I see that it won awards and is popular on this site. I think I will probably give it to a shop in the city I live in which sells secondhand books to raise money for charity. Hopefully then somebody else will be able to enjoy it and the charity will get some money from it.

Hallo Zjakkelien. Grappig hé, hoe je elkaar zo terug kunt vinden op allerlei aan boeken gerelateerde sites. Ik ga eens even neuzen in jouw bieb.

groetjes, Connie

I'll send a Smashwords coupon which allows you download it in the format of your choice including epub. That way you can always download it again later if you want to use a different ereader.

I apologize for some delay in getting it to you. Between a hospital stay and internet connection issues, I've been slower than usual, but will have them all out in the next couple of days

Thanks so much for reading it!

No I haven't read "The Host" Ill have to check it out, I use bookmooch.com. It's a free trading site to trade your old books for new books or anything your interested in reading. Very easy to use, I'll have to try to get The Host!

I also recently picked up Interview with the vampire, Anne Rice, Never read the serious but it looks good. So i'm also going to be giving that a try

Thanks for the recommendation

I saw you in a group I am also apart of thought you may be interested!

Hi,

I'm happy to hear that Black Swan lived up to your hopes for it. I just picked up her Gwenhwyfar novel (Guinevere from the King Arthur story), and it is very different again, and very absorbing.

I admit, my first few pages of both Inkspell & Inkheart (also by Cornelia Funke) were slow going, and I wondered if it weren't pitched to a much younger audience than I had originally thought, but it got better once the story picked up speed. It's almost as if she is very conscious of writing for children at first - and a little uncomfortable with it - and then gets so caught up in telling the story that she relaxes.

Hmm, I might just see if I can get my hands on The Swarm, now. Have a good weekend!

Hi Jacquline,

I'm glad you got all three! I got some good selections too, and have some time off now to read them, which is nice. Mercedes Lackey is a favourite author of mine, and I find that even with the many many books she's written, each one is a fresh take on something or other. I'm enjoying poking around in your library too - at least the English-language titles ;-)

One of my friends has family in the Netherlands, and it seems every other person I've run into recently has either just returned from a visit there or is planning to go in the near future. Isn't it funny how coincidences go?

Happy reading, and please tell me what you think of the Cornelia Funke book, as I have yet to read that one!

Laura

Jacqueline,
Het gedicht heet "De Moeder".
De bundel van Scheltema is nog ruimschoots tweedehands verkrijgbaar, zie Boekwinkeltjes.
Als het je alleen om een kopie van het gedicht gaat wil ik je die wel sturen.

Vriendelijke groeten
Piet Wester
