Well, thanks for the tip!

I will say that I prefer internet to buy books because it's easier for me to have foreign books though I go sometimes in bookshops. I feel home in bookshops too.But I will feel better if I could find all the books I want there than on the internet.

Hello everyone,
My name is Emmy. I'm french. I'm 33 and I live in Paris with my daughter and my husband.I love the American and English cultures. I studied the English language at school and at the university. Then I moved to England. I lived there for a while and came back 6 years ago.
I've been reading books in english since I was 13, after discovering Agatha Christie. I read about 6 books in English every month now.
I love to read fiction, memoirs, chicklit, non fiction, short stories and poems.
I thought a very good idea to join, mostly to talk about books because I do not find many people here talking in English or in American, and less talking about books in English as you can guess.
I have always felt as an English person. Threee years ago, I met my father. A long story. I learned there that he is an English . So many words to learn now to find my own way...
Though I was raised in a French world, I hope I will be able to speak in fluent English and to share my passion for books with you.
