…and then it was December 31st, 2009. Another year just flew by, and a new one is anxious to get started.

Thank you to everyone out there for sending in your contributions, reading this blog (and sometimes commenting, too), and above all, shopping with us in Amsterdam or Den Haag (or online). We love having you as customers, and we’ll try to fill the shelves with lots more yummy reading material in 2010.

And now: we asked for your favorites, and four of you were kind enough to send in lists, filled with a fabulous selection of books across all genres. So, without (much) further ado, here are the books that brightened your year! (more…)

YOUR Favorite Reads of 2008

Monday, January 26th, 2009

At last!

We asked for your favorite reads of 2008 and we got them! And lost them. And recovered them (many, many thanks to those of you that resubmitted your favorites)(if you’re missing yours, that means I haven’t found them – please let me know and I’ll add them)(yes, Michael, I’m pointing at you).

So, finally, here are all your favorites. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. It never fails to impress me how varied the books are that you read, and how a simple recommendation can make you want to try something you never would have looked at before. Inspiring stuff! (Details about the books after the jump.)
