Susie | 76 comments This book is completely new to me so I'm excited to read it!


Irene | 909 comments Ordered it on Amazon yesterday. Used it as an excuse to buy another book I have been wanting. I needed to get my amount up so I qualified for free shipping. But that second book is temporarily out of stock. I am guessing that this one will be held and the two shipped together since I want free shipping. Wonder when it will arrive.

I bought it and it's on my Kindle. I don't prefer the Kindle reading experience but it does save me money here and there.

Yikes, I almost lost my kindle at the airport yesterday. I went to pick up my brother and thought I would read our current selection, The Noonday Devil. I had been reading while waiting for his his flight but as he came in I put the book down on one of those luggage carts I had been holding for him, thinking he might need it. But he didn't have luggage, so when he came by we walked away leaving the cart. When we were about to leave the airport, I gasped in realization I didn't have my Kindle. So I ran back, and that luggage cart was gone. I asked the guy, I looked in all the carts but nothing. I had given up and was going to report it to lost and found when a woman at the money exchange desk called my brother over and asked him if I was looking for a Kindle. Someone had turned it over to her. Thank you Lord. for that person and the woman at the desk. What a relief.

Yes it is!
I've read the first segment so far, and am enjoying it immensely.

I've read the entire first chapter, and it is interesting. It's held my attention. No acedia yet. :-P
