Easily one of the worst books I've read this year.

From the back cover:

Everyone knows a couple like the Morans. Maggie, with her scatterbrained ways and her just slightly irritaating, but goodhearted attempts to make everything ring for everyone...And Ira, infinitely patient, who's addicted to solitaire and who whistles out popular tunes, the only barometer of his moods. They've learned all there is to know about each other---two ordinary lives in a comfortable routine marriage.

But on the road to a friend's funeral, they make some unexpected detours--and discover how extraordinary their ordinary lives really are...

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I forgot to make the release notes on this. I released this during the Charleston Unconvention at the meet and greet. Enjoy!

I'm making a journal entry on all the books in the "melydia BookCrossing MeetUP BookBox".
Just to let everyone know it made it safe and sound to Mississippi.

The MidSouth BookCrossers will enjoy going through the box
and picking out their favorites and adding books they hope others will enjoy.

The MeetUp BookBox, including this book, arrived in Maine and will journey to the next meeting of the Southern Maine BookCrossing Group to meet some of our Maine BookCrossers.

I took this book out of the MeetUp BookBox that we passed around at the meeting of the Southern Maine BookCrossing Group tonight. Thanks for including us in this fun project. We enjoyed it!
