Oh my freg I am SO excited to get this surprise RABCK in the mail!! Hip hip HOOOORAY!!!!!! :)

I love Jeannet Winterson, and was actually just thinking the other day i needed a Winterson fix and was going to go searching for one of her books in the English section of the rather over-priced Brussels bookstore.

This is very welcome, very serendipitous and very exciting! Thank so much Tokorua--- will be sure to pass on the good bookcrossing karma!

Good book, as usual from Jeanette Winterson! However, i am only giving it a rating of 7, just because, compared to some of her other ones (ie: Lighthousekeeping, Sexing the Cherry, etc...) it just didn't quite live up to the standards. I think she is not a natural comedian. Part of me felt like with this book, she was trying to do a bit of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, treading into the comically absurd. Sometimes it worked, but in my opinion, most times it didn't.

But all said and done, i loved Gloria's mother, i loved and hated Bunny Mix, and i thought the character of God and its genesis into being was great!

Thanks so much for sharing tokoura! Will either RABCK or wild release soon!

Happy hunting!

Went to look for a book during my lunch break and found (bought it for 2€) this one in one of the second hand shops...

I had never heard of bookcrossing before and was intrigued so I just signed up, but really have to do some work now, so no time to read just yet.

I finished the book a couple of days ago... I thought it was a fun read, but I've enjoyed other Winterson books more. There's just too many bad jokes eclipsing the good ones.
I am still very happy to have found it though, and to have thus discovered this community of book lovers.
I will release it later today!!
