    IHB Book Club: "Transition" by Meghana Joshi

    LOL! I hope you find it Tmare:-) Happens to me a lot of times too. I try to put it in the car and read while waiting to pick up kid, or put it next to the bed to read before I sleep. Sometimes they just get lost! And someday when I forget all about them, they surface. Socal, let me know if...
