That’s the same copy I got from the library. 😃

Hooray for me! though it's been long enough since I read the book that I don't remember many specific scenes or what characters were in them.

Ruth | 1794 comments None of my local libraries has a copy, so audiobook it is! I need to hurry up and finish listening to my current book first to make sure I can get through the twenty hours of Snow Queen before the end of November.

I'm disabled, so getting to, and navigating around a used bookstore is not feasible for me. Also, my nerve pain is so bad right now that I have to use an e-reader, as manipulating a physical book is too taxing for me. That's what makes me so furious about the Macmillan garbage -- because it hurts people who need the access to e-books the most. For some using e-books is a choice, for others, it's a necessity.


David Newhall | 41 comments There is only a single copy in all the DC area libraries and no e-book in any of their Overdrive collections. Good thing I have Audible credits.

As we are now a few days into the month, I'm going to lock the kickoff thread. Feel free to make new threads to discuss the book. Please make sure to indicate if your thread contains spoilers.
