A few years ago (before BookCrossing existed), I was on my way to a bar downtown and I walked through the nearby Republic Square Park to throw away some trash. On the park bench, I saw a tattered copy of "Robber Bride". My first instinct was to grab it and after a few minutes of rationalizing that the person who left it there did it on purpose, I did take it. When I got home, I started reading it and devoured it in just a few days.

This isn't *that* copy (I released it long ago), but I bought another copy to release.

Even if you're not looking for a "thinking" book, this is a good novel to just breeze through. The characters are vivid and you'll probably see a little of yourself in every one of them. One of the characters is rather loathsome, so maybe you won't see even a little of yourself in her. Or will you?

RELEASE NOTES:

I'll leave this on a park bench around 9:30 am.

Found it at Halcyon, 4th and Lavaca, on a wet, chilly Sunday morning. Funny, I was just thinking about what I would read next (I recently finished "Brave New World.") I'd heard about services like these before and was pretty excited to finally be a part of it. Meanwhile, many of my friends have enjoyed Margaret Atwood and have highly recommended her to me. This is my first chance to read her and I'm enjoying the book thoroughly. I'll release it, for sure, when done. Just don't know where...
