I can usually find the British books I look for; for me it's more a problem of ever hearing about them in the first place unless they are written by a well-known author. Honestly, I think we get a higher percentage of British books here than we do Canadian books. (Maybe I'm wrong about that, too. LOL)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-24790533160260557772020-05-18T10:49:00.352-05:002020-05-18T10:49:00.352-05:00Then you would bet wrong.

We get a huge amount of your books and I've lost count of the obscure books I read about on people's blogs, think to myself, 'That'll never be available in our library system'... and lo and behold, it is. And I really like that.

Pretty small percentage, I would bet.

I really like this one because of the way that it's a novel about a black community and all the action is pretty much within that community itself. It shows how self-contained those towns and neighborhoods used to be, and it's all very positive. It makes a nice break from all those novels about white vs. black, racism, etcSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-18195954889409183952020-05-17T18:50:36.675-05:002020-05-17T18:50:36.675-05:00That kind of experience is one of my favorite thin...That kind of experience is one of my favorite things, Lark..
