Over mijn bibliotheek

We are an eclectic duo!

Thea is a confessed SF and horror junkie (but is experimenting with some romance at Ana's urgings, with mixed results). Her favorite books include: The Dark Tower Series, Kushiel's Legacy Series, Outlander Series, It, Hyperion, Mara: Daughter of the Nile, Song of the Lioness Series, Weather Warden Series, and the Tales of the Otori Series.

Over mij

Ana and Thea make up the reviewing team called The Book Smugglers. We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. We’re not just talking a meager fix of SF here or a quick shot of romance there. We’re talking full-blown, unrestrained, junkie-shuffling itching-my-scratches addiction. This entails spending massive amounts of our disposable incomes at various book retailers, stockpiling said books, and creating lengthy lists of what to read next. Our significant others have tried to quell the compulsion with threats, mocking cynicism, and finally with desperate pleas and interventions. This disapproval and plain refusal to accept us as we are forced the two of us to take drastic measures. To escape the hawk-like watch of les boyfriends, we contrived a way to beat the system: we order books online via the fantabulous amazon.com and have the books shipped in bulk to our respective places of work. Armed with oversized handbags, we smuggle the books home, just a few at a time, where we slip them inconspicuously into the book pile. Should someone catch on to the system, denial works wonders ("No baby, I’ve had this book for ages, I just haven’t read it yet"). So long as the telltale boxes are out of sight and safely disposed of at an offsite location, the boys will never be the wiser.

Hence, our title as Book Smugglers.
