Country: Russia

The card is absolutelu awesome! I like colours, I like the idea books+castle.

I googled some info about painter, it's Lena Gnedkova from Volgograd. It will be so nice to receive other cards she painted.

As far as I understand the picture on the card is called 'The tower of histories'. Actually feel free to find other her works. They are worth it ;)

This card was stored a long time in my favourites. And finally I received it! :) Thank you, Tatyana.

I like lavender color. And lavender oil as well. Autumn and winter are the great time for using oil burner, with lavender oil, for example :)

Also I like books. This year I have a goal to read 20 books, currently there are 15 books in my read list and I'm working on 16th :) not so much, but better than nothing you know :)

 I like reading. And the sender also likes reading. So she sent me this wonderful card!

If you’re quite attentive person you can see that the author of the books on postcard is Cecelia Ahern. To be honest I’ve not read any book of this author, however I have at least 3 books in my wishlist for reading :)

I wrote 2 Postcard IDs as I received this card twice.

I have preferences like reading and painted cards. The senders met both of them and I received this beautiful card.

The World of Books

Postcard ID: US-2719098
Country: USA

Reading is wonderful. I'm strongly agree with this statement. " Edward McKay Used Books & More" is a favourite book store of the sender. 

In 1974, an ex-Army officer in Fayetteville who loved books and reading realized he couldn’t afford to establish a library, so he did the second-best thing—he started a used bookstore! From modest beginnings that included Canada Dry Ginger Ale crates, buildings originally designed to function as chicken coops, and a building that the founder put together himself, Edward McKay Used Books & More has grown to four stores across North Carolina.

Enjoy your reading!
