What fun to have listened to the scoop on new stuff with the APL.

I can't shake this sore throat no matter what I do, and the headaches are not pleasant either. I enjoyed the audio of In a Dark, Dark Wood myself. I hope you did as well. I am glad your group liked The Library Book overall. I look forward to reading that one someday.
