Glad you are joining Deb!! Now that you've mentioned it you should find "log" in your next book...hopefully.

Thanks Jan. :)
I think I remember reading "log" in my current book - but that was before I posted so I can't use it. :\
That's just me and my no cheating rule - probably not against yours but you know how it is, quirks are quirks. :D

But it is an easy word to find - and I JUST got around to downloading and using Overdrive.
O.o
So many books!!!
So I'm sure I'll be getting through a lot more books now.
I don't know why I never used it before.

A whole new world just opened up to you Deb! Have fun!!
