I just tried putting an interlibrary loan request in for this book, but every listing showed 0 of x available. I’m wondering if many libraries only have reference copies available. Here’s hoping someone relents and sends me a copy!

I still haven’t received the last book I put in on ILL, but it did ship. It’s somewhere in the ether of the postal service.

Oof, Patrick. It happens. I think I may have to buy this one to read it. I’ve stretched my book / Amazon budget this month, so maybe soon.

No one would lend this book to my library, so they decided to purchase it! Last night I read the introduction, and now I’m starting chapter one. The story begins on Christmas Day! How appropriate, since tonight is Christmas Eve.

This was a fun read that can be read in a day. Any fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland should give it a try. I’m glad it was suggested, because before I saw it for this group I had never heard of it.
