#6: Thanks for the review of the Olsson book, Gabor. I read her Astrid and Veronika, so I need to give this one a try too.

I really liked your review of Sonata for Miriam, I have a copy and must get round to reading it.

Hi There

I'm compiling a list of birthdays of our group members. If you haven't done so already, would you mind stopping by this thread and posting yours.

Thanks.

Thank you Linda for the invitation. I wish the best to everybody on their birthday, but I do not like to share mine on the interwebs. Don't take it personally, but I don't like to celebrate my birthday anyway and I consider spreading it on the internet security/privacy risk.

The Harry Turtledove series looks right up my alley. Thanks for the review, Gabor. I will see if I can locate any of the books.
