I think I already follow most of the bloggers you mention, but will stoll have to check out a couple of the new to me ones. Many thanks for the kind mention. It's sort of telling when I start ordering more books from the Book Depository than from Amazon.com! I sometimes feel like I have one foot on each side of the Atlantic--well, only literarily of course.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-32852652983127705742009-09-17T16:02:19.464+01:002009-09-17T16:02:19.464+01:00A very well-written post!

I know you were sad about the lack of them.<br /><br />I came here to check out your blog again. Although I don't need anymore books - they keep sending them for me to review- I am going to wind up getting into the contest for Miss Hargreaves! You are so in love with this book that I just have to read it now.:)<br /><br />Barbara (from the US)<br />Barbara's Meanderings<br />http://barbaraehrentreu.blogspot.com/Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-56835935684844963182009-09-17T09:04:57.443+01:002009-09-17T09:04:57.443+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-53143087105970787492009-09-17T08:18:52.944+01:002009-09-17T08:18:52.944+01:00It's great to see the UK book blogs getting so...It's great to see the UK book blogs getting some recognition.

As I mentioned on your earlier post, I read as many--possibly more--UK blogs as I do US ones, and you lot certainly add more books to my TBR pile.<br /><br />And if I manage my yearly sojourn to the UK next spring, I may just take you up on the meet-up idea.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896331683344872038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-26892066944637999022009-09-17T00:36:22.961+01:002009-09-17T00:36:22.961+01:00I agree with Darlene and Thomas-- I am an American...I agree with Darlene and Thomas-- I am an American Anglophile and I'm much more interested in what's in your bookshops than in what's in mine.

They have a way with a phrase that I find sophisticated and appealing not to mention a fantastic sense of humour! I'm surrounded by people reading NA contemporary fiction, the UK bloggers make my anglophile life a whole lot brighter on this side of the pond.<br /><br /><br />Book Psmith, I do feel the love, you're very sweet!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-47424532242829933152009-09-16T18:05:35.161+01:002009-09-16T18:05:35.161+01:00Fantastic.

For me SIAB has been a magical portal into a wonderful world of like-minded bloggers.<br /><br />I was thinking the other day I would like to find more stateside bloggers, but my taste in fiction is such that I may not have as much in common with your typical North American book blogger. Still, I know they are out there and I hope to drive a few more out of the woodwork later this week with a book giveaway for North American readers. I have an extra copy of Henrietta's War, and since it isn't available here I thought I would pass it around on this side of the Atlantic.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-81623501935663490092009-09-16T15:28:41.000+01:002009-09-16T15:28:41.000+01:00Yea for BBAW UK recognition!
