From one of the participants in the Authors from Unusual Countries Sweepstakes I got another copy of this book.

This one will be available for other readers now for that reason.

Reserved for JE / review of the other copy.

This book starts its journey today to a new reader, to veer23 who was the sole entrant for the draw.
Safe travels, little book and happy reading, veer23!!

Thank you for sending me this nice book, Boekentrol. I found it in my mailbox today.

I liked this book and hope you do too!

Not really my cup of tea, but I will take it with me to Castricum to look for a nice new reader :)

Surely someone will adopt this lovely book ...

This book was still on the table towards the end of the day, so I've adopted it for the time being!

Travelling to merolia as part of the First Pages Excerpts roundabout. Happy reading!
