So, this was my first time attending a book club of any sort. We were supposed to discuss Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. However, we talked about everything under the sun, even Mangoes, but the book. Though come to think of it, it isn't too surprising that a book club meeting in Karachi was going gaga over mangoes. It is after all, almost mango season and most of us are fruity over the fruits. Yeah, I know, I am overgeneralizing. Secondly, Pakistani mangoes are famous for being awesomely delectable. You won't know how much until you try one! I will try to share pictures before we have devoured and plundered the bounty but no promises. 

The book mostly sucked. Review to come.

Here are some of my favourite books set in the beautiful county of Yorkshire. 

I will be having a couple of pints of Old Peculiar later in celebration. 

You can buy The Harem on Amazon.com, Barnesandnobles.com, SteamyRomanceBooks.com, Smashwords.com . . . but NOW . . . you can buy The Harem directly on a bookshelf!

Vroman’s Bookstore of Pasadena, California, is the first brick and mortar bookstore to offer The Harem directly to its customers. You can buy a paperback copy off the shelf. They’ve also added The Harem paperback and ebook editions on their website as well.

We are very grateful to Vroman’s for adding The Harem to their romance collection! Though Thomas Sweeney is a local, California author, Vroman’s immediately placed The Harem on an end of the isle shelf with world-renowned authors such as E. L. James, Sylvia Day, Maya Banks, Anne Rice, Sylvain Reynard and L. Marie Adeline.

Thanks so much Vroman’s for this wonderful opportunity! We were very excited when we found The Harem on the shelf, and even better, that one of the copies was sold before the end of the day, today, February, 18, 2015.

Vroman’s has been established in Pasadena California since 1895. Be sure to keep books alive, and more importantly, keep local bookstores alive!

Support local bookstores and purchase directly from Vroman's if you don't live in Pasadena, CA: http://www.vromansbookstore.com/book/9780986227202

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

Kindest Regards,

I love Dad's copy of Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock. I love owning my parents' and grandparents' books, knowing we held the same covers, hunched over the same pages with a peanut butter sandwich, clutched forgotten in one hand, or under the covers after lights out.

I think I might be due for a rereading of some Nancy Drew. She was a badass.
