Only 2 less than February though.
For one of those two votes...I have had a severe lack of time recently which will continue for at least the next month and I can't commit to reading anything at this point. I wasn't even able to check availability this time around. I still hope to read the selection but without being sure I didn't want to sway things in any direction. I should be able to start March's selection this week. It's short so hopefully that means I can finish it too. |

I was able to find the book in my Cloud Library. You might want to try that as an option too. I always try my Overdrive libraries first! This book may not be that easy to locate in the US.

Fortunately, this book is available at a reasonable price at AmazonUK. £2.99
Frankly, I didn't relish paying $10 USD for it. |

Not currently available at my library, Jon. And not likely to be acquired before I need it, though I did make a recommendation for it.

I was lucky enough to get a hardback version from my library today. Plan to start it tonight with the snowy/icy weather outside, chicken soup, and a nice Hop Cakes Imperial IPA for desert.

Waiting for a print copy from the Ottawa Public Library - in transit, so hopefully soon available for pickup at my home branch.

If it weren't so difficult for me to read DT books, I might well do that, bfisher. But being able to get it for $5.34 CAD ($4.15 USD) gets it down to a price I'm willing to pay.

Yes, I'd prefer the ebook version, but it's $CAD 10.99 at amazon.ca vs $15.09 at Kobo. If they had priced it at $5. I might have gone for that.

Not cheap in Australia, either. AUD$14.99 is stretching the friendship for an e-book.

I have a 'hold' on this at my library. Apparently I'm first in line but I think the current person could still have it for a while. If it doesn't get to me before 1st Mar I'll probably buy it.

For everyone waiting to get to the book - it is a quick read. I go through 100 pages in one sitting (and that was with the slowing addition of two 16 oz IPAs).
