CJ December 10th, 2013 I’ve liked them on Facebook & followed them on Twitter for a while now. As for my favorite title, it’s hard to pick just one! I’d have to say “Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Simply because it’s a book I constantly return to when I need a reminder that life can’t be that bad because I don’t live with the Dursley’s. Nellina A. December 10th, 2013 I have already liked Astoria Bookshop on FB long ago but am now also following them on Twitter. One of my favorite new additions to Astoria! One of my favorite books is The Kite Runner. Also a tie was Eat Pray Love (how cliche, I know). Two gifted authors who easily connect you emotionally to their stories. If you do not connect emotionally to the author and their work why are you even reading it? :) Good luck everyone! Chris December 10th, 2013 Liked on Facebook.
