I'm a romance lover too, even if it's just as a secondary plot line.

I am glad my library card allows me to borrow from Hoopla, because it's transaction based - no waiting. I find that the audiobook selection is better than the ebook selection, but they do get some good titles, and Disney titles are readily available.Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-80413703772854327112017-04-19T19:05:05.547-04:002017-04-19T19:05:05.547-04:00Exactly.
