Comment: Hi Christine! I love your bookstore pc! Looks like my kind of place to visit! LOL! I also enjoy thrillers, not so much on historical fiction or true stories but that is what is wonderful about reading, we all have stuff we love and other stuff we can learn from! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
