Nenia Campbell Hi, L.M.! Thanks for the friend request! I look forward to some mutually shelf stalkage. ;)


Angela After Tolkein you'll need something easy to read! 'Salem's Lot is good, I read that a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Angela Hi, thank you for the friend request. Your challenge answer is exactly how I would have answered it as well!
