Jasper Fforde - The Well of Lost Plots A bit confusing at first, but nevertheless funny and exciting: another case for Literary Detective Thursday Next. Astrid Lindgren - Mio, mein Mio (Mio, my Mio) Beautiful fairytale by one of children's literature's masters. Bastian Sick - Der Dativ...

I'm not sure yet if I'll buy it although I really loved the Harrys - but the Collector's Edition is quite tempting ...

Apple. Your favourite cake?

Ohh ... I'm certainly NOT jealous ... On our coffee table there's usually a jumble of magazines, coasters, the TV magazine, and for decoration we've got one of those big glasses with a thick candle in it (what do you call these things in English?) We also have some coffee-table books (a...

Thanks, everybody! :)

Lisa See - Eine himmlische Liebe (Peony in Love) Susanne Mischke - Liebeslänglich (could be translated as "Lovelong")

A wonderful and moving saga without drifting off into kitsch or melodrama ... however, I would have loved a happy ending at least for one of them, too. But apart from that, I loved the novel despite all the sadness and suffering. I have also read "Family Matters" by Mistry, which was good...

I liked the book and also shed some tears while reading it. To me, it's Sparks's best book ... his later works often were too kitschy for my taste (sorry to all Sparks fans, don't take it personal.)

There wasn't much time left. The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan

I have just done some autographing of my books at McLean, Virginia, and browsed through a bookstore with interesting volumes on Mary Magdalene.
