A great prequel to the famous LOR trilogy. Here you encounter much of the hobbit history and a well-written tale.

RELEASE NOTES:

this is not the STarubcks Cafe in Barnes and Nobel, but the Starbucks by the Chili's entrance.

this is still at Clackamas Town Center Starbucks, to my knowledge.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left on a Table at Starbucks, not the one inside Barnes and Nobel, but the one near the Chili's entrance.

It seems unlikely to me that the book would have stayed in Starbucks long. I didn't recall seeing it before. I knew I had it a long time before registering my catch. It doesn't feel like a year. How would I know? I think this has been the busiest year of my life.
I find it interesting and amazing that it came from someone in West Virginia. That Starbucks is the same one where I played Cashflow, the board game, by the author of _Rich_Dad,_Poor_Dad_, with someone from out of town.
I saw the book on the table between the two stuffed chairs. I was interested because it had a note on it that read, "I'm not lost. Take me home." I already liked Tolkien's writing. I wondered if it was a book I no longer had. I took it home to check, knowing that I could return it to where I found it. My daughter, married and mother of two, heard that I had it. Now that I'm registering my catch, I intend to offer to give it to her. If she declines, I will release it.
When I reviewed this entry, I noticed the date, and recalled that I wanted to celebrate today. It's been one year today since I bought a cute little red house! My first real estate investment! What a cool way to celebrate! Thank you for joining me.
Now I'm noticing the first journal entry was made on my husband's birthday.
