As for I’m Not Scared you most certainly DO have to add this to your TBR pile. I’ve yet to put up afterthoughts (although I finished reading it a couple of weeks ago *blush*) but I can tell you it’s a book that will stay with you forever. It’s full of Italian culture too, particularly culture of a rural flavour!

I have to add this book to my TBR pile. As I mentioned before, I love other cultures, and of this, Italian culture is my bread and butter. I am obsessed with Italy. I am thinking of how I can fit this into a challenge…I may have to change my pick for Italy for my 21 Cultures challenge…hmm…or maybe New Authors…Yes, yes, I will definitely be reading this book!

Nice to see your Kindle is replacing some of your ‘dead tree’ editions. I think the next year mayl see a bit of a revolution in ebook reading. What do you think?

As for I’m Not Scared – Get it! Read it! You’ll love it!

Here’s a curious side-question: Are you reading any of your 50 top picks on your e-reader? I’m at that place now that whenever I want to add a book to my TBR list, I have to decide whether to get the “dead tree” edition or the Kindle edition. Sometimes that decision is harder than you might think. (Of course, sometimes the book isn’t available yet for Kindle, so that settles some of those decisions for me.)

My end table next to my reading chair now has a smaller pile of books because of my Kindle, but there are still two paper novels there underneath the Kindle, plus the omnipresent book light when I don’t want to disturb hubby’s TV watching with the full table lamp.

I will go see where I can find I’m Not Scared. After the lengthy historical novel I’m (re)reading right now, I think something like this might be a great next-book to read.
