Default Review of The Word Exchange

I've had the pleasure of reviewing a book I liked very much, one we talked about on this site when it first came out. Here's a link to my review of The Word Exchange.

A fine review, Maryann. You keep an even keel, but tempt the reader to buy what seems like an inspired collection at the same time. I'm going to have to put myself on a book budget, or else hanging around here will bankrupt me.

Enjoyed, multi-talented lady.

Also what Ed said. Bankruptcy is just around the corner.

Maryann,

I've been meaning to get around to reading this, but we've been traveling. Now that we're finally installed in a tiny little beach cottage, with a tenuous and wavering connection to the net, I've at last been granted a little time to read, and this is one of the first things I went to. It was worth the wait. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the book, although it may be a while, given the price...

Thanks,

Bill
