Awww just read it :( but I'm eager to hear how everyone likes it :D

[Beth]

Ooo, I hope I can find this one :) I've not read any of hers yest, and I'm eager to!

Hope I can get it. I am losing my big library in a week unless I pay for out of county. My library where I live is so small. My daughter had a library card in the city since she goes to college and would check out books I cannot find at the other, plus kindle. No ebooks in my county either. It is better than nothing, but this small library only has major secular names like Dean Koontz. Yuck.

Karen, that is a bummer! Will they buy books if you request them or do inter-library loan?

They will do the loan, but it takes a month a lot of the time to get the book. buying the books. I do not know.

[Beth]

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be that way for a smaller library. Even my local library takes about 2 - 3 weeks & it's pretty big.

[Rachel]

Yay! I've been looking forward to reading this one :)

Just requested it from my library. They actually have 2 copies - large print and regular.
