Re: [LM_NET] Advanced Readers Copies

[Heidi Landskroener <h.landskroener@GMAIL.COM>]

Lisa, et al.

I have two ARC that I got from a bookstore that was going out of
business...when I mentioned I worked in a school library, she just handed
them to me and said "here you go".

One of my fourth grade girls 'borrowed' the first one last week and the
second one this week. I'll have to see if she suggested them to her
classmates, a sure sign she liked them.

Thanks,
Heidi
