I got hardcovers of Four-Story Mistake and Gone-Away Lake. The cover of Gone-Away is the one I remember reading. Glee!! And the paperback re-issues have the same illustrations.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I read the sample chapters of The Chocolatier's Wife and I do like it very much so far, so I bought it (still at $.99 today). Thanks for the rec, Connie.

Thanks for the rec, Connie.
I should find a way to contact her and congratulate her for getting it out to a wider audience.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Strix, I read it, and it's great fun, and light enough for a sick day read.
