Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Can anybody tell me if there are any books to borrow at the L'etoile hote, or, anywhere else I could borrow some, I always take a couple with me to read on the beach , but this year due to the wieght restrictions I was hoping to borrow a couple.All the hotels I have stayed in in other countries have some in the foyer, and I always leave mine anyway, so I was wondering about L'eoile? Thank you.

There was chat on the forum about members leaving books at the ICR office for members to borrow due to weight restrictions. Not sure if it happened or not but I am sure someone on here will be able to say if that idea went ahead.

Most hotel and apartments I have visited have a book section were people can borrow,exchange or leave their books for other guests.

Thank you Gene, that's what I was hoping.

could get yourself an e-reader - thats what ive got currently has around 800 books on it and weighs about 3grams - so will be taking that next year..

They do cost a bit to buy though mine was £189 in argos

Good idea this as I read alot. Is it expensive for each book that you download onto it.

Thanks Donna, that's just what I was hoping for!

my one came with I think 300 free books mainly classiscs - but you can download from waterstones for the same price as a paperback book - and if you search the night there is some places that have free ebooks on them..

You can now download free from our local library and you can transfer to your MP3 player. I would imagine that would apply to most libraries now

Stayed there sept 2008 and the L,etoile had books to read on a table in the computer room past the shop in reception.Rog.

I got a book called .... Birds Without Wings from my local library the other day , and so far it's been good reading.
I've only read the first few pages ( I'm not the greatest reader ) but I think it's about people who have suffered ( all walks of life) through the years in Turkey .

I will try and give a better review once I have got into it more.

Has any one else read this book ? and what did you think of it .

Cheers

I read Bird Wihtout Wings after my first visit to Turkey and have read it twice since, brilliant book but for those concerned with weight be careful, it's a thick book. I will be in the office exchanging books this year, it'll be my first trip to Icmeler as we have always gone to Hisaronu for the last eight years. We're really looking forward to it and avidly reading the posts for tips etc.

Hi there

I read Birds Without Wings at the end of last year. Found it a bit hard going in places but on the whole a good read. I will be taking my copy when we go in June and leaving it at the ICR office for folks to borrow.
