ReplyDeleteMy eye was repeatedly drawn to the Douglas Adams title. Have you read Hitchhikers or is it new to you? I heart Douglas Adams.
bookfool - I read Hitchhikers last year for the first time from the library, but thought I'd like to own it. I saw it at the second hand bookstore so picked it up. That's really sad isn't it - I've already read but I want to own it as well.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing awesome on all your challenges. Good for you!
