Hi Brigid! I left what I thought was a reply to your comment, but it seems to be a separate message! I took a course on Ireland at Hampshire. Now I live there! :)

Mikal O'Boyle I actually took a course there. On Ireland actually. And now I'm living in the country! :)

Thanks for the add! I enjoy seeing new books that other people are reading! I originally joined thinking that it would be a great way to promote my book, and while it is, it's also a great way to hear about amazing books that I was unaware of! :)

Hello Cecile! Glad you accepted my request! I am a huge Hunger Games fan. I actually was privileged enough to read it as part of a college course some years ago and couldn't put the books down although nothing (yet) has topped Poe for me. In fact, Hunger Games motivated me a bit to write my YA novel, that's how much I enjoyed it. :)
