The list I attached to Misswings was bounced back to
me again, so please forgive me, but I'm trying to send
this list to both lists so she and anyone else who
doesn't get the emails I send can see how hard Claire
has been working. There were also 5 books added on
Saturday and one on Sunday. I haven't checked Jake's
list, whence I get the additions, yet today. I usually
wait until at least after 6 p.m. Pacific time, because
Claire, and her predecessors, sometimes work late
approving books.
Generally I won't clutter these lists with books
added, but apparently when the list gets too long some
people have trouble receiving it.
I hope this works.
