2nd hand book-joy from Cyprus, Argentina & New Zealand



second hand book joy - i found and ordered 3 books in December, they all were written in different countries, and arrived here now after travelling the world:
  • "Ledra Street" by Nora Nadjarian, Cyprus - arrived via Berliner Büchertisch, Germany 
  • "Possessed by Shadows" by Donigan Merritt, Argentina - arrived via Chicago, Illinois, USA 
  • "Some Other Country" - New Zealand's Best Short Stories - arrived via Houston, Texas, USA
looking very forward to read the books, especially as i know both Nora (blog) and Donigan (blog) from blogging and mailing.

I look forward to finding out what you think of this novel ... it is my wife's favorite of my books. By the way, I presently live in Buenos Aires, but this novel was written mostly in Europe, principally Bratislava and Berlin. Notice that there is a mountaineering glossary in the back of the book (many readers don't find it until they finish), which can be helpful to non-climbing readers.

Parcels of to-be-read books - one of life's major joys.
