It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.
"L" is for Lawless (A Kinsey Millhone Mystery)(Hardcover)
7 journalers for this copy...
FROM OUR EDITORS
Private eye Kinsey Millhone is back with her one-liners on tap, romping with a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde through an Our Gang-style comedy that takes her halfway across the country and ends up leaving her not only with a major headache but with an empty bank balance to boot! In Sue Grafton's twelfth foray into the alphabet of crime, Kinsey meets her duplicitous match in a couple of world-class prevaricators who quite literally take her for the ride of her life. Some of the scenes Ms. Grafton most enjoys writing are about the imperfections of her heroine. "I work to keep her flawed and inconsistent," she says. The flaws are, for many readers, a major part of Kinsey's charm. After all, who can resist a character who sometimes lies "just to keep up my skills"?

This lovely book received today; its been on my wish list for a while, so thanks so much for sending.
On loan to Hawkette - Enjoy!
Ohhh, another Kinsey on loan from AnglersRest - thanks heaps!
Kinsey gets herself into all sorts here, and doesn't even collect a payment for it all - just a wack to the head!!
Slowly building a little more on the long lost family story, although very slowly!!

Thanks they arrived home safely!
Picked up at uncon from anglersrest. Have now got A-P of this series to read... hope I enjoy them! (Thanks Anglersrest)
Oh my goodness - for once noone got killed (apart from Johnny Lee, who had died of old age prior to the beginning of the book.)
The number of Kinsey Millhone books on my shelf is really starting to go down now - and this was the odd one out as a hardback.
Reserving for CaterinaAnna, who from journal entries seems to be on J.

Journal Entry 11 by Caterinaanna from Coventry, West Midlands United Kingdom on Saturday, October 21, 2006
You said to wait 'til tomorrow, but was sending a PM & up these popped in the sidebar.
Started this one while waiting in the Chinese takeaway on my way home, so status should actually read 'being read'.
Will journal the others when have finished eating the purchases (currently pausing between courses).
And yet again, I race through the book to find Kinsey is battered and bruised by the end. Well, I couldn't leave an investigation half way through could I?

Journal Entry 16 by dogsapples from Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria United Kingdom on Friday, December 15, 2006
I didn't particularly like Kinsey as a "bad girl" and was worried that it would turn out wrong for her (of course I knew it wouldn't because there is the rest of the series - but you know what I mean!)Perhaps it was the 3 generally unpleasant characters that kept her company throughout the book that annoyed me. Whatever, I'll be saving this for Necroscope and Amarula40 and will be having a short break from Sue Grafton before reading M.
Journal Entry 17 by dogsapples from Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria United Kingdom on Saturday, December 30, 2006
Sending to Amarula40 in the next few days. Thought she might need extra reading material whilst recuperating from her op. Get well soon.
This book was kindly released to me by another BC member - dogsapples. I am eager to read it, but will need to speed up my reading pace as I have a few to go before reaching this one!
Duplicate book so available for anyone who wishes to read it.
