Stella Stella said: "I think I lost this book! Which is lame because it is a library book and I didn't get to finish it!
UPDATE
I found it under the seat of my car and finished it. I liked it overall, but the beginning was better than the end I think.

573509 Hi Stella--I sent you an email to your .org address about the book group. Sorry for the delay.

573509 I think they're planning on releasing a second printing of Good Masters in another week or so. I got my copy at the Children's Bookshop in downtown Kent. Do you know that store? I'm going to buy my books from them for now on as they're an independent store AND they give a 20% discount on all their books. That's a great deal. Plus, while they don't have a huge selection, they tend to have some of the quirkier titles and what they have is is pretty good. I didn't watch the live webcast of the awards ceremony as it was too early in the morning for me. I did watch the video though later that day. First time for me.
