I guess I'll hang my head in shame because I went to Borders. However, Megan's dad works for a publishing company that normally only sells to independent bookstores, and even they conduct business with Borders. I'm trying to somehow construe that I have indirectly helped the independent stores, but I know I'm merely blowing smoke.

Anyway, I do have the book, and I can't wait to buy our next book club book from Watermark Books!
