Thank you ApoloniaX for this wonderful book from my wish list! I can hardly wait to read about Mr. Bones and Willy's adventure.
Thanks again to ApoloniaX for this birthday surprise. I read half of it a few months ago and haven't made it back into it. It wasn't that the book was badly written or that the story wasn't interesting. I was simply afraid that it was going to break my heart. That may sound silly, it is fiction, after all; but there it is. I'm going to send this off to another BCer for another birthday surprise. Should I learn later that there is a big, happy ending for Mr. Bones I will regret this, but I'm chicken. :-)
Happy Birthday! I hope all your wishes come true!
thank you for this birthday book
