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.Moloka'i

From reading the back cover it looks like a novel set in nineteenth-century Hawaii. It follows a young Hawaiian girl who contracts leprosy and is sent to Moloka'i, the leper colony island, and how her life is changed. Looks like a good read!
Wow, what a book! It was a story I'm not familiar with, but Moloka'i was beautifully written with characters that demonstrate a struggle for survival and a desire to live life despite the expectations of others. They were sent to an island to die, and instead lived happy, if not always full, lives. The last chapters blew me away with unexpected explanations and emotional admissions. Wow.
Not sure if I'm the decoy or the winner but I sure appreciate receiving this book. Thank you hawksgirl. It look just like the type of book I love and I'll be reading it soon and will leave my thoughts then.
