I wish they'd get creative and try harder at connecting us with more obscure titles and authors.Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-3957354785030324592010-10-25T10:00:10.302-05:002010-10-25T10:00:10.302-05:00I've enjoyed reading your blog for some time n...I've enjoyed reading your blog for some time now, I lived in Lenexa for a couple years which is in your general neck of the woods. <br /><br />I've always found local writers to be more easily found at used books stores.
