I'm glad you kept at it, Franki!<BR/><BR/>Amy -- one of those three Hikaru readers I wrote about earlier this week has finished the series through book eleven and jumped right into The Mysterious Benedict Society!

I'm a fast reader so the idea of slowing down is HARD. I'm glad you could take the lesson to heart and enjoy one of Those Books. I'm still working on it myself.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.com
