    Thanks Anna, I've managed to get a copy of The Body Finder from the library and look forward to comparing notes with you in the next couple of days. I'd love to hear your YA recommendations so please let me know which ones impressed you most. I read Josephine Angelini's Starcrossed a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it - have you read it? I've just read the conclusion to Alyson Noel's The Immortals and Lisa McMann's Wake trilogy. I have fourteen YA books lined up for the next couple of weeks and will try to run them by you if they are good.

    Take care Anna, I look forward to hearing your YA recommendations :) Oh and I'll definately check out Kleypas at the earliest opportunity. Bye!

    I totally agree Anna, the humour was what drew me to Julia's books from the onset. I'm not familiar with Lisa Kleypas' books - I shall have to see if the library has anything by her. I've ordered Nocturne from the library to be on the safe side. I look forward to comparing notes with you as soon as it becomes available. Thanks for your advice on Clarity. I'm about to embark on a YA phase so I hope to get my hands on Clarity and it's sequel in the very near future.

    I've noticed you are reading the sequel to The Body Finder, and I was wondering what you thought of both books?

    Hi Anna, I love paranormal and YA books too! Ever since I stumbled across the Twilight saga two years ago, I've become addicted to these two genres. I love the Morganville Vampire series, Vampire Academy series, Vampire Diaries, House of Night series, Night Huntress series, Jaye Wells' Sabina Kane series, etc I'm currently reading Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series.

    I highly recommend Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels, Patricia Briggs' Mercedes Thompson, Rachel Vincent's Shifters series, and Kelly Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld.

    You mentioned that you like historical romance too and I noticed that you read The Duke and I. I'm a fan of Julia Quinn too and The Duke and I is one of my favourite books. The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever was my top book. The Lost Duke of Wyndham, Romancing Mr Bridgerton, and Brighter than the Sun and Minx are also great fun and made me laugh out loud at times.

    Thank you for recommending Touch of Power by Maria Snyder, I'm going to look it up straight after your note. I've noticed you've read Kim Harrington's Clarity and Syrie James' Nocturne too and would love to hear your views on both books.

    Anyway it's been great chatting to you Anna, take care and chat soon. Bye!

    Hi again Anna!! Yes you are right about them being pricey, but variety-wise they are much much better than here!
    Plus you can sit and have a nice coffee while reading! We dont have anything like this here, at least in my hometown..
    So its really the environment and the browsing that i like! :)
    I also buy most of my books from the bookdepository, where you can get them at a fraction of the retail price.

    Thanks for the recommendations! I will keep them in mind, they are not the kind of books i read, but even better,
    this is why i asked because i would like to try and read books that i wouldnt normally pick up!
    I read mostly modern literature and lately ive started reading more classics, i want to catch up on that!

    Talk to you again soon

    Best Regards

    Maria

    Hi Anna, now I am the one not getting back to you! I apo
    Ogise for the delay have been really busy! Yes I have two sons thanks for the compliment! I was unemployed until a few months ago too, and the same goes for me, I truly enjoyed having time to read! Other than that I can understand the frustration, and I know how difficult things are in Greece right now... Speaking of Greece, and particularly Athens, I absolutely love the bookshops there!! Whenever I visit, they are my favorite hang-out spot! :)

    Hi Anna good to hear from you! I also have a profile in goodreads but for some reason I never really got round to using it a lot, I stuck with shelfari! :) I am used to it now and find goodreads a bit more complicated... I try to read as much as possible although I am working full time and also have two young kids..
    I also never met anyone else from Cyprus here, except from the couple of friends I invited to join!
    Do you live in Greece at the moment by the way?
    Well, that's it for now!
    Happy reading and hope to hear from you soon!

    Merry Chistmas to you & yours Anna ! Hope everything is going well for you. I checked out goodreads. It's a bit confussing at first. Would have to spend a day or so just downloading the books I've read in 2010. LOL I'm still recouping from the knee surgery. The Orthopedic MD had to do more in surgery than he thought he would. I have alot of time to read and have expanded my genre's. One can never learn too much and all knowledge never goes to waist , or so I've been told. ; )
    Any luck with job hunting ? I can't wait to get back to work myself. Re-thinking how I can open my business and include items for giant dog breeds. Having a Great Dane pup has opened my eyes to the need for such itmes { coats , booties, riased X-large dog beds, etc. }. Sorry, I'm babbling here.
    Have a Blessed Christmas Season my friend.

    I'm glad you are well. : - }
    Had me scared there. It is very sad { the entire situation }. Hoping things will get better soon for your country & it's people.

    I'm doing OK. We had a very long 3 day weekend here { Memorial Day weekend }. We honor our fallen war hero's and have family get-togethers, picnics and such. Have only a few more days left before summer break starts. Looking forward to some time in the garden and to catch-up on my reading.

    I finished reading the 8th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series and I LOVED IT !!! Wish we had HBO on our TV so I could watch the True Blood series again. Will just have to re-read the series while I wait for the next book. LOL

    Be safe & stay well my friend. ; - )

    BTW, customer service jobs aren't for everyone. I love it mostly, but my sister, husband, and other friends say they'd have to either physically hurt a customer or even the bosses I've had to deal with in the past. Too bad the pay is always so terrible for such a high stressed job too. : }

    Since the laws are different from country to country { let alone state to state in the USA } ; could you open your own psychology practice out of your home or maybe a close friend or relative has an extra space for you to use for this purpose ? This was the first thought that came to mind when I read your latest post. Do the local schools employ psychologists ? There are some American businesses that hire them for their contractors who work in other countries due to the stresses of being away from family & home.
    Sorry, I'm a bit of a "Mom" and always seem to stick my nose in there , so to speak. Trying to be helpful is all.

    Sorry for the delay Anna ; I've been under the weather, but am starting to feel better. I know what you mean about the job situation. Some states have lower unemployment than others, but my state has high unemployment. I work only when called as a cafeteria substitute at the local school. Fortunately I have been able to get quiet a few hours in so far, and am thankful my husband & oldest son have their jobs.
    What is your profession, job wise I mean. Anyone who is a business major has a better opportunity here in the USA than other profession.
