Mahalo Chicos,

Book Shop located across the street from the main entrance of Punta Carteas Shopping in Montevideo, Uruguay. A rather small book shop not necessarily designed for meandering, more for purchase and go, the Book Shop holds a rather impressive stock of English Books.

I dragged my other half to accompany me the other day and we were both delighted to see they offered some of our favorite authors. His being Koontz and mine Nora Roberts.

One of the clerks came up to me right away and asked if I needed any help. I requested that he tell me if there were are any Nora Roberts’s novels.

I was giddy with anticipation. I could not resists the actual jumping up and down when the kind Clerk, Nicolas whom by the way speaks excellent English, handed me about 10 books from Nora Roberts.

My other half purchased all the books for me as well as a few for him, I’d say we spent well over one hundred American dollars there. The prices of the books are North American prices, it seems that they do not add extra onto it, but I am not sure about other books.

There were a total of three book clerks of the three two spoke excellent English, so an expat or visitor that had a bit of time with Spanish should not have a problem with help. Speaking of help, the three clerks were very friendly, helpful and conversational.

If you are ever in need of some English written books, I’d suggest to stop on by at the Book Shop and see what you find.

It makes living in another foreign country so much better when one finds something from home.

In the mean time, I’m off to read my newest novels!

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
