I bought myself a copy last year during our employee discount days, but have not taken the time to even read the back cover. Now that I know it's set on Bainbridge Island, I'll be sure to read it as soon as I finish Under the Dome! We were just in Bainbridge last month and have been trying to figure out a way to move there! ;) Love that area and love that Island! My dad lives in Kingston, so we got to spend a lot of time touring the area. Even went to their Wooden Boat Festival. Anyhoo, thanks for the reminder!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-66648490609531198242013-07-07T09:01:12.526-04:002013-07-07T09:01:12.526-04:00Harvee - Hope your experience with it just as posi...Harvee - Hope your experience with it just as positive as mine!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-77979223929564181722013-07-07T09:00:15.624-04:002013-07-07T09:00:15.624-04:00Lisa - Me, too... and this was definitely one of t...Lisa - Me, too... and this was definitely one of those times!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-56805581987323108522013-07-07T08:59:45.907-04:002013-07-07T08:59:45.907-04:00Nadia - So she blends past and present in her othe...Nadia - So she blends past and present in her other books, too?
