Tell me that you'll be hanging out there and discussing NbtT next month!<BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out that ALAN book group. I really liked Sandpiper. That and Blind Faith are my favorite Wittlinger novels. I see that A Room on Lorelei Street is their pick for April, and I highly recommend that book.Little Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.com
