Hi Kellie, Thanks for yoour message. I won't give up validating books. I am validating one right now called "Twelve Times Blessed" by Jacqueline Mitchard. Thanks again, Kellie.

Without volunteers to validate the books there would be fewer in the collection, which would then be less attractive to members. So I hope you won't give up validating books. Kellie
