You can only lend it once? Huh. That sucks.
Oh, well, at least I can help 1 other person with their reading crack; god knows these won't be the last ones I buy. It's all good. I can see why they would impose a limited lend, from a money standpoint.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aha! I found out how to return it (on the web site). Erin, when I'm done with Mockingjay, which will probably the next or the next book after that I read, I'll lend it to you.

Hey do our theater tech types have a good online resource for basic stage lighting terminology? Our band`s worship leader is trying to learn, since we`re building our own edifice and thus, stage. He`s got a book, but it`s a bit over his head.

This is from Amazon which I know you don't use, but you can find the book elsewhere. It's called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. I know the author. It's a bit out of date, but a good book.
