Just bought this one on Kindle for $1.99 - a good buy!<br />Have you read any of Gail Tsukiyama's wonderful books? "The Samurai's Garden" was the first and is a beautifully written book. Her newest is "One Hundred Blossoms" just out in August - I used our interloan library system to read it and will buy it in time. <br />Have gone on too long, but I really do appreciate your postings so much!<br />A fellow reader,<br />Mary littlemancathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042609230502564280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-32285129131103622862012-09-07T15:26:50.411-04:002012-09-07T15:26:50.411-04:00I've just started reading Grey Whale #1 on my ...I've just started reading Grey Whale #1 on my Kindle and am enjoying it so far.
