I'm a big book nerd, and your reading tastes are often similar to mine. This is sort of random, but I actually linked to your Maurader's Map post from my blog, luggageandliterature.com. If you have a moment, I'd love for you to check it out. Anyway, thanks again for all of the fantastic book recommendations.Rachel // Maybe Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737624506695244343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567751852999123789.post-17667172695301557922015-01-02T08:43:47.764-07:002015-01-02T08:43:47.764-07:00I like your taste! :-)I like your taste! :-)Rachel // Maybe Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737624506695244343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567751852999123789.post-14994411869152494762014-12-31T12:37:40.885-07:002014-12-31T12:37:40.885-07:00Wow - we like a lot of the same books!

I was able to use my old Salt Lake City library card for almost a year before they figured out I'd moved and shut me down . . . but it was a nice year. The SLC library system is FAR superior to my current one.
