Hi Jamie. Thank you for friending me on Goodreads. It's so nice to meet you.
Hi, Jamie. I just finished reading your book in Indonesian translate. And I love it. It's so sweet yet sad.

Hi Jamie...I just finished reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and I loved it!
Thanks for the add, Jamie. I feel all warm and fuzzy now :).
Thanks for the add, Jamie. I look forward to reading your book in 2011. All best wishes, Lisette
Just got my paperback of Hotel On the Corner . . Yay.
Wow! You have that many people where you live? We have about 200 people here, if that. If the rabbits joined together and raised a small army they could easily take over the village.
