    Hi chrissy! Sorry for the late response. I haven't seen your shelf. I will take a peek later. If you're into fantasy, then i recommend you read the house of night series. Twilight is so much better (it's my favorite!!). This series comes in 2nd for me. The story is fast paced so i didn't get bored. Of course, the romantic twist helped also! I can't wait for the next installment actually. Let me know if you like it or not :)

    Surely that can't be all of the books; Borders must still have some left for us :(

    Wow that’s great Merkie 1984 that you are coming to the states you will have a ball at Barnes and Nobles that’s my favorite store. Well I will recommend that you read Please stop laughing at me by Jodee Blanco, Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom, The other woman by Eric Jerome Dickey , God’s Gift to Women by Michael Baisden, Just too good to be true by E. Lynn Harris last but not least Family Album by Danielle Steel. Have you ever heard of www.bookmooch.com ? That is a website where you can get books you want for free. After I found out of bookmooch I don’t by a lot at Barnes and nobles because I get all the books I want for free. All you have to do is do a profile then do an inventory of the books you want to give away then a wish list for the books you want. As people start request your books you get points and you cans start requesting books you want that are availabe. It’s so much fun!!!!

    Hi Chrissy
    Thanks for the invite : ) You have an great shelf yourself. As for recommendations I have so many I don't know where to start! I guess my first would be Off Season by Ann Rivers Siddons. The Saving Graces by Patricia Gaffney is another favorite of mine. Valley of the Dolls by Jackqueline Susanne, Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy and Lovehampton by Sherri Rifkin are a few others. I am always looking for the next great read so if you have any recommendations for me I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Lorin

    Hi! I'm actually an au pair here for the year - and I completely love the city. Why were you living in Rotterdam (I don't know, it is always funny to me to meet people who know the city at all)?

    Hi Chrissy,
    I'm from the American East Coast, New Jersey. How long have you been in Ireland? If I remember correctly, you said you aren't 'from' Ireland, but you live there now. Is that right? What made you move there and where are you originally from?

    Believe me, it's so hard not to just spend all my money on books, since I see them almost everyday! I constantly find new books that I want! I'm obsessed with the Twilight series! I've gotten so many people into the books too!
