I LOVE your website. Live near Trier. You are so right: the thing I miss most about home is the book shops.

At the end of 2007, I moved from Nowhere, NH to just north of Boston, MA. It’s so strange having everything available within a 5-minute radius. I’ve noticed that the treats have disappeared now that we live close to the city. No more birds waking us up, or silence at night. Now those are treats AND deep pleasures.

Try looking in Yahoo Groups for a local book swapping club…we have one in Frankfurt so maybe some expats have started one there too. If not, just start asking around in other expat clubs and someone is bound to have an interest in starting one with you :)

We can mail books back and forth to each other here lol

I have even noticed things I miss from just three hours away at my old house! My new city is much smaller. We don’t have a Pottery Barn for goodness sake! And no HomeGoods! And no Nordstrom or Ann Taylor (unless I go to Seattle which is an hour away by boat). But, in a funny way, being in this “foreign land” (ok, well it is still the US, but feels foreign to me) is making me appreciate small things so much more. I need to find my own happiness and not rely on things being so easily accessible!

cute post! :-)

thanks for sharing and inspiring me today!!!

blessings,
Melissa

Oh, Katie – I laughed when I read your comment on a man in another country with Martha Stewart Living. I agree with Sandra – you should let us send *you* a book. :-)
