And, I'm equally pleased she's back working in a public library, where she belongs. <br /><br />You and I keep hitting the same places, although I don't go to Changing Hands very often. Poisoned Pen and Scottsdale is an easier drive for me. One of these days, we'll both be there at the same time!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-71179945210348227252010-04-17T14:25:03.863-05:002010-04-17T14:25:03.863-05:00I had not heard of this book until today, but it s...I had not heard of this book until today, but it sounds like something the neighbor girl would gobble up, so I will have to get if for her upcoming birthday.

Isn't it fun to truly get lost in a new author and place? Even more fun, that great recommend from a friend is now sweeter and you have another friendship link!Inside A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962025550367558251noreply@blogger.com
