I made it, but I was beginning to have my doubts.

Looks good, Phyllis! Oh, dear! Two "U's"!

I think I've got it covered with free books on my Nook. Hope I like them. They sound like I will.

Will The Quakers of New Garden qualify for the Q in Aquarius?

@Phyllis - you can always take out "the", "an", "a" etc. from the front of the title when doing a challenge so yes The Quakers of New Garden would qualify for Q because "The" can be removed.

Thank you. I am glad because I just finished reading it.
