It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

America, 1959. With two young children she adores and an admired husband, Charlie, working at the British Embassy in Washington, the world seems an effervescent place of parties, jazz and family happiness to Mary van der Linden. But when Frank, an American newspaper reporter, enters their lives they are forced to confront the terror of the Cold War that is the dark background of their carefree existence.

A beautiful paper blanks notebook. I love these, they catch my eye everytime I see them in Waterstones :)
Crafty stickers!
Liptim Clear Green tea
Lime Creams...mmmmm
Bartlett Pear Candles. They smell good!
A bookmark
Grapefruit & Lavender Insence
Lily Of the valley soap
Everything is green! :D
I've never read any Faulks before but after reading the back it sounds like my kinda book :)

I tried but no thanks, is what I shall say to this book. After about 50 pages I thought to myself 'I don't really care' but I carried on, maybe it will get better, right? WRONG! I struggled on to page 202 and then stopped. I still didn't care. And I have loads of better books i'm itching to start reading. This was the plot. Mary had an affaire with Frank. Her husband drinks to much. Both her husband and Frank move in political circles. Blah blah blah! Maybe something happens in the next half of the book but I really can't be assed to stick around and find out!

Had to make a guess at who my exchange partner was! Was never given your bc name but I hope my package is okay :)
The book is back in Germany now. Thanks so much redfox. For the rest of the package, too!
The book will travel on to Marita, a non-bookcrosser, who will then pass it back to a bookcrossing friend. Hope Marita enjoys this one!
Thank you so much for your generosity in posting books to Marita. She enjoyed reading them and has now passed them on to me to find them a good home. I am not so sure about this one - I think I will keep it with me TBRs for a while, it looks quite interesting...

Got it from Chremajora two years ago (!) and seems like I forgot to journal it. Started reading it but didn't "connect" with it. Giving it to a friend now.
