Dear Shelley Ernie and All, I made a list before I was approved, too. Since I'm electronically challenged, I took longer than usual to get through the process. Once I got busy digging through the thousands of book titles I was happily pacified and occupied until my membership was in order. Once you are a member, what kinds of books will you be reading? First I read a short kid's book about a leprechaun, then an inspector Banks mystery called, "Playing With Fire," which was terrific and now I'm reading another mystery with Wind in the title and a fabulous book about Ireland. So, go with Shelley's advice and fill your waiting days with book list making. You'll be a member long before you finish your list. In fact, you'll never finish that list because new books are added so fast. Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.
