They publish only a small number of books each season, so they can give each book the attention it deserves. They've done a good job publicizing this title, but it just didn't live up to it in my opinion.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-29033435215111478562019-05-19T16:21:23.100-04:002019-05-19T16:21:23.100-04:00Patty - This was very readable...
