So exciting! Will be watching for it.
Thank you!
Hi Susan. Do you remember the book list that Louisa wrote about the books she was planning to read? Do you know which site I could find it. Thanks 😊
Hi Niina, nice to hear from you! I don’t remember, but I will ask and get back to you.
I have the list and have decided to post it on the blog since many will be interested in that. I hope to get it up tomorrow.
Oh that would be wonderful, I have been looking for it!
Hopefully I’ll get it up today – waiting on updated copy.
