  4. This looks like an interesting idea! I recently read The Blue Castle by L.M.Montgomery and that's a great fit for the blue coded reviews. I hope I can still join up! :)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
