I'm going to have to pass on that one. My library doesn't have it.

I landed a new project so I splurged and bought a new copy of Thus Were Their Faces from Book Depository. Let me know when in June you'd like to start this buddy read.

I'm always willing to give a book that looks interesting a try! And my library has it. So should I order with a pause until next month?
Mod
Sure! :)
