At least she started standing up for herself at the halfway mark. Sorry to hear this wasn't a total win, but happy that you at least enjoyed some of it. <br /><br />Does your library not lend digital copies, Lark? I got a message that even people who didn't have a library card could get a temporary card without coming in to check out digital copies, audio books included. Hope you find some gems on your shelf in the meantime! :)Rachel @Waves of Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008473307411943476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-37857864088705636232020-04-12T17:05:04.592-07:002020-04-12T17:05:04.592-07:00Hopefully the libraries will reopen soon.
