A couple of years ago I was the owner and moderator of a Yahoo! group called Books2Movies. It was a nice group with people from all over the world who liked to talk about books that had been made into movies. A few of the people even read a book a month and saw the movie to talk about it and share their thoughts. Questions were asked, answers were given…we had a good time.
Don’t you just love books? Well, I do, as you may have guessed seeing this little site of mine.
And I’m blessed being able to work in a book shop. More than a year already!
To give you a sample of our sections, and the books we buy for our customers, here are some photos.
Ain’t it a pretty sight — sigh–

My boyfriend and I went on vacation to Turkey. Happy times all around!
At the end of the first week we felt fit enough to see some culture and we went to Ephesus, an old city once flourishing. A lot of buildings are still there in good conditions and this is one of them:
It is the library of Celcus from the second century AD. Of course no more books were found in it, but the building itself, although no longer complete, is impressive enough. Just imagine roaming through books in this place. Makes you wonder why we don’t build like this anymore. Here are some pictures of the beautiful details:
As though I hadn’t enough books already I bought some the last couple of weeks.
I’m trying to get the complete set of books of some of my favorite authors: Clyde Edgerton, Mick Jackson, Magnus Mills. I think I have read enough of those guys to know I won’t be disappointed. So, here is what I got:
Lunch at the Piccadilly — Clyde Edgerton
Solo — Clyde Edgerton
Redeye; a western — Clyde Edegrton
The underground man — Mick Jackson
Five boys — Mick Jackson
