>3 alcottacre: Hope you find some great reads!

I love that topper, Amanda. Very clever.

January I will be in familiar (for me) Priestley country as I plan to read The Good Companions.

>5 PaulCranswick: Thanks! I couldn't find any pictures I thought suited, so I played around with a word cloud generator until I got something I liked.

>6 amanda4242: Well it looks great.
