À mon sujet28, living in Paris. I always have a book or two in my purse to read in the métro!
À propos de ma bibliothèqueI share a small appartment with my significant other, so not a lot of space. A baby girl is arriving in the spring of 2010, so we need to get rid of a few books!

If you have gotten either one from another angel or directly, absolutely no problem. Just let me know what you want to do.
All the best,

I'll see if my grandchildren have some books that they have outgrown and we'll start a little biblioteque pour la petite Spinifex.
And thanks again for all the "smooches" It is really my pleasure to be able to send you books!!
I was a French translator and interpreter for a number of years, and ended my "illustrious" career as assistant to the Attache culturel a l'Ambassade de France a Los Angeles,planning retrospectives of French cinema, artistic exchanges between museums and counseling Amerian students who wanted to study in France. Having dual nationality could be a plus when we see what is happening in American politics today... lol

I just read some of your other messages, I didn't realize you were "expecting" congratulations! Any special little baby things/books you like me to send or bring to France??

Umm...BTW why did I get a 2-1 deal??? That was so nice, but I don't know why, as I wanted both of them, and I also wanted to help postage vs points costs, and I wasn't angling for a deal, and you had written 3-1! I was going to give them back till I almost did a back-flip when I saw the number you have already. So I will thank you graciously; and accept them in the spirit they were given! But not necessary...I hope I can return the kindness one day.
And thank you for understanding book phobia - so nice to share it! :)

I don't mind the age of the book at all - as long as I can read all the words. :)
Thanks so much for all this - very much appreciated. I am still having fits of excitement about the Murakami!!!!
I need a life...*sigh*
Hope you are doing OK - not too many 'tummy' troubles or growing pains!

And I am quite pleased to have found this series.. you can tell me your opinion, that would be nice.
Don't worry about notes etc...if you put the book up for mooching, and it is still on my wish-list I will try for it - you have far more important things to worry about this year! :)
I hope you let us know all the news when it happens - in a few months it seems. How very exciting, I'll be watching out eagerly...:)
écrit par Lman à 10:28 am (EST) le Jan 1, 2010
And then I saw your great news - so congratulations, as well!
And to thank you (I think) for putting me onto a new series- The Libertus Mysteries by Rosemary Rowe! That angel thread of ours is just downright dangerous! :)
Hope you are well - 2010 will be memorable for you undoubtedly! Stay warm!

Thank you for the friends invitation. BookMooch has forged another link on LT!
I'm doing some work from home right now and will have to actually drive to work (29 miles, 46.67 kilometers)on New Year's Day to support the finance department with computer year end processing.
I hope you're having a great day and reading at least one good book.

Are the Bloomsbury editions of HP hardcovers? If so, I'd like them.
I'm trying to collect them to have in addition to my Scholastic editions and so far only have Goblet of Fire.

I read that you were going to put some Bloomsbury editions of Harry Potter books on BookMooch later. Do you mean the children's covers? If so, I'd totally love to grab Order of the Phoenix from you. :)

The owner of Mary, Bloody Mary: A Young Royals Book has not logged in now for more than a month and their inventory has gone on vacation, I don't think this is going to be a successful mooch. Do you want me to list the other book I mooched you and leave this one or do you still want to wait?

I thought they sold them individually (at least, that's what I saw on the Russian website), but maybe they only did in the past.

Unbelievable - that's amazing, considering they hadn't been marked 'accepted'; let alone 'sent'. LOL!!! (I happened to check your profile the other day and had thought that transaction probably "weren't happening" -hehe!) And I was sad for your book too!
I don't mind the damage; I will mend it whenever it arrives.
THANK YOU!!
Happy Holidays (??) or if not, 'enjoy overseas". :)

I'm reading the "restored" edition of my favorite book, A Moveable Feast. I hope you are taking advantage of both the time of year and your location to occasionally sit outside a cafe with a book and either a citron presse (can't do the accents) or a cold glass of white wine. I'm going to do the Southern equivalent this afternoon--sit on the deck under the trees with a glass of iced tea.

That's fine- thank you so much for trying! Yes, it is annoying, especially when these people list heavily wishlisted books, it makes you feel like they set out with the intent to con people...
Anyway, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and as you say wait a couple of weeks, and then I'll put it back on my wishlist.
Thanks again for your help!

And thank you for your kind words! I know what you mean about the war, so I don't have too many books about battles or geo-politics. What I'm really interested in is how WWI ushered in Modernism (hence all the poetry!). I'm also interested in how the war led into the 1920s, as my other great love is the Lost Generation...which was based in your beautiful city, of course!
P.S. I like the lack of 'rhyme and reason' in your library! It looks like you have many wonderful and varied interests -- it must be a pleasure to browse through. :)

I saw your question on "Aide en Français" -- because I read French better than I write it, I thought I would leave you a comment rather than try to post in mangled French! :D David Liss is on your list because you have his book A Conspiracy of Paper. The only way to keep him from showing up in your Member Connections is to delete his book from your library.
Bonne chance,

Incidentally, I am sooo jealous of you living in Paris. I lived there for a year (well, in Boulogne-Billancourt) and miss it. I've been back for visits, but it's an entirely different thing to be a tourist.
