In reply to Susi.

Wow, a town of books. That sounds like that would be a perfect place for Zafon to place his next book. Actually he has a new one coming out June 16th–The Angels Game. I think I read that it’s a prequel to The Shadow of the Wind.

I’m putting Hay-on-Wye on my list for my next trip to the UK. Thanks, Susi. Hope to see you back again.

In reply to Rebecca Reid. Used book stores are a whole different world, aren't they? Because not only do you have the story in the book, but each book has a story. Nice to hear from you, Rebecca!

I was in Hay-on-Wye, Wales and found such a cemetary there.
The little town is known for being ‘the town of books’ and I certainly felt as if I had gone straight to heaven. About 20 or more bookshops for used books – some so very cheap that it was hard not to buy about 100 or more.
And I have read ‘The Shadow of the Wind’ myself and was so truly amazed by it that I’ve read it about 3 times now and can’t wait for the follow-up.
Great blog, only stumbled over it today and it will now be included in my Google Reader!

I love used book stores!

I think I read something like that (stories of Shakespeare) when I was in middle school. I do remember the stories with fondness and now I want to read the real thing!
