Annoyingly, a piece of the post I wrote yesterday about Hilary Mckay got lost, which is why things were muddled toward the end. So here it is:
Warning: Don't buy the slim paperback Rose's Flying Feeling, published in 2005 for World Book Day. I did, in bulk so as to get it cheaply, thinking that I could easily dispose of the extra copies to friends and on ebay. I was crushed when I opened it and found it was simply the beginning of Caddy Ever After. And once I knew that, I couldn't in conscience sell it on Ebay without saying that, so the whole thing was a fiasco and if anyone wants a copy at cost ($1.00) or 17 of them for a book discussion group or something, let me know...

ReplyDeleteSounds like you're piled knee high in books, not to mention the fact that you live down the block from the library!
Ever consider a book rental club? I took the leap to
BookSwim and so far I'm very pleased.
I am recently divorced and the boys and I moved a few towns away...to a two room apartment! I work full time, and I barely have a spare moment to myself. Forget about getting to the library. (My old town's was better anyway)
Furthermore, since it is a rental club BookSwim helped me solve my storage issues. I'm really saving a ton of money; reading your blog, I thought you of all people might like to know about it!
Happy reading!

Thank you so much for posting this information!! I recently read Saffy's Angel and wanted to get all the Casson family books but could find absolutely no info on Rose's Flying Feeling until I came across your blog entry. I was ready to buy a used copy from Amazon & couldn't figure out why they were going for 1¢.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the heads-up.
Do you still have copies available?
ReplyDeleteCopies are indeed still available! $1 plus postage! Send an email to charlotteslibrary.gmail.com if you are interested.
