    I'll be posting questions at different times. We will be doing it over a period of about 5 weeks.

    Each thread I start will have something to the effect "don't read if you haven't finished chapter _____". Not sure the exact words yet, however you'll know not to look at that thread unless your that far in the book.

    Unfortunately, my library does not carry any of these titles either

    I'll look into getting an inexpensive second-hand copy online...

    I've got The Sugar Camp Quilt on order at a different library to our local three, someone's got it out at the moment but I'm next in line so hope they hurry up and take it back!

    For those of you whose library doesn't own these, ask them for an inter-library loan. That means they can order the book from another library outside your system. Sometimes there is a small fee for this, but not as a rule.
