This Book is Currently in the Wild!
5 journalers for this copy...
Picked up at the lutheran church on wilmette road yesterday.
6/10 Update: This book is so exquisitely, beautifully written, it was just such a joy to read. The characters are so real and human, imperfect but compelling.

What a wonderful surprise. I did not even expect to receive this RABCK. Good Karma will be send your way jcm. Thank you. :)
Greatly enjoyed reading this well written book. I love learning about other cultures. For this book about mixing them with the american culture. The theme about how one book affected so many lives is very endearing to my heart (perhaps to many other BCs as well). I will be passing this book along soon for someone else to enjoy.
I am making a controlled release to Guinaveve by means of snail mail. Hope you like it.
Thank you so much for sending this to me. I joined a ring for it, but many of the rings I have left seem to be moving kind of slowly, so it is nice to get this one to read now. In fact, I will start on it this afternoon. It looks very promising from what the previous reviewers had to say about it. I will journal again when I am finished and then find a way to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.
THANKS!!!
THANKS!!!
I just finished this and thought it was very interesting. I was surprised at how upset the main character was by his name though I saw nothing wrong with it. I guess it is like any other hang up that people get about themselves. No one notices your flaws (or percieved ones) as much as you do.
I enjoyed reading about the mixing of cultures. It seems like moving to a new country with different customs would be so hard to adjust to.
I will pass this on soon for someone else to enjoy!

Releasing at the meet up.
I loved this book. It made me think about how our parents live in another country even if we are all born in the same land.
