It's been a while since I read this one. It was a nice reading and I remember not being able to stop reading at times, although I'm not really sure why. Was it really THAT good...?

RELEASE NOTES:

It seems that someone adopted this book at the meetup tonight. Have fun!

It never reached the table....

It's at my place..

I read this book on my journey to Vienna. It was nice, not too serious or challenging, but definitely a good book for a train journey.

I left the book in Vienna.

I got the book tonight from verenka who got it from Sunneschii.
It sounds interesting!

I really enjoyed this book and liked the characters. It seemed a little bit like a "modern Jane Austen" story and it was a pleasant read. Thanks for sharing!
I am going to take this book to London in April.

This book never made it to the Book Buffet. ;-)

Sent to Qantaqa.
