I was lucky to snag this copy of A Single Light from my local library; there were lots of people on the wait list. Right around the time I checked it out, I had to go out of town for work. I thought the book got lost in my car, but after days of searching for it, I couldn’t find it. In a panic, I called the library yesterday to see how much of a fine I’d accrued. She said it was 20-cents per day, and I was up to about $1.20. Luckily I found the book stashed on a shelf that evening. I figured….it’s worth the fine. So sorry to the person who has it on hold after me, but I just had to read it before turning it in!
