Journal Entry 1 by Colombina from Wuppertal, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Monday, January 18, 2010
A captivating dark book mixing the English coziness of a small town and two tea-drinking elderly ladies with a strange and ominous slightly gothic world in which nothing seems to be impossible. The story is about a mysterious woman, Brenda, who, after a long (a very long :-)) and eventful life, decided to settle in the small resort Whitby to run a B&B. Together with her friend Effie she is faced with a series of peculiar events like, for instance, the establishment of a satanic beauty salon and the visit of more-than-illegal aliens... Light reading, but entertaining.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES: The book is now travelling to Annimanni in Finland in the framework of the European book relay.
Happy reading!
The book's in Finland, thank you very much! I've been to Whitby a few times (I lived four years in England) and couldn't resist a book set there :D Thanks also for the beautiful postcard and bookmark!
Hah, this was a fun, enjoyable read - even though it's not my usual genre at all. I liked the characters and I loved reading a story set in Whitby. I could just see the town in my mind's eye. This is one of the best aspects of Bookcrossing: you end up reading books you'd never have picked up otherwise. Thanks, Colombina!
This book will now travel on to ------- tadadaa: Whitby ------- as part of the Yorkshire Day RABCK Exchange. I hope that it's a new book to you and that you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Thanks annimanni for this Whitby book sent to Whitby (area)! I didn't know this book existed, so it is fun. And thanks to the Yorkshire day Exchange, which made it come about.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
This book will now travel to my partner in the Easter Exchange game and some Easter goodies as well, enjoy :)
15 March 2013: I received the book from Bjorg, together with some little nice Easter things. Thank you. The book looks strange but also interesting. So I will try to read it when I´m in the right mood.14 January 2015: I finally was in the right mood to read it. A long time I didn´t dare to read it because of the spooky cover but then I finally had the motivation to read it. And I must say it was entertaining. I especially liked Brenda who tells the story in such a warm and good-hearted way. The end of the story was a nice surprise. I´m fascinated that the village Whitby really exists.
The book travels in the BOX "Fantasy 2015" organised by Träumerchen754.
