Around the World discussion

I thought it could be useful to let people know what books we are done with and where we will post them if we are giving them away. I'm about to be done with an Uraguay book, Genesis which is the first book of the Memory of Fire trilogy that is on the 1001 book list. I am going to be posting it on bookmooch as soon as I am done with it (since it has highlighting in it and wouldn't pass muster on Paperbackswap...).

I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns (Afghanistan) and am currently reading Crime and Punishment (Russia).

I finished Crime and Punishment. Now listening to Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Great idea Beth! I decided that if I finished something I knew I wouldn't read again, I might as well swap it away. Once I've taken my books' group photo, that is. I'll keep this thread in mind, since I post mine to paperbackswap.com

Thank you Judy!

I finished Frangipani: A Novel and just posted it on paperbackswap.com. If you need a polynesian island read, this is a great one!

Other books I've posted to PBS (meaning there is at least one copy available):

The News from Paraguay (Paraguay)
Season of Migration to the North (Sudan)
Kitchen (Japan)
Krik? Krak! (Haiti)
Like Water for Chocolate (Mexico)
A Pale View Of Hills (Japan)

Hi all,

I've just joined Book Swap Australia - an alternative to PBS for those of us in the antipodes. I'm cathvo. http://www.bookswapaustralia.com.au

Thanks Yrinsyde! I'll check it out!

I just finished The Kashmir Shawl a novel set in Kashmir, India. It told the story for two time periods around WWII and present day. It was an interesting read and I found myself entranced by the descriptions of Kashmir, India.
