    We are Richard’s neighbors.
    Richard was a really great guy. He went out of his way to welcome us to the neighborhood and congratulate us on the recent birth of our daughter.
    He will be missed.

    Hi Mari – I would definitely remmecond it, but I would probably wait until you don’t have a lot of other stuff on or you might get distracted!Hi Andi, I’m actually quite surprised by how well stocked my library is – I had stayed away from so long thinking it wouldn’t be that good so I’m glad I’ve found it now.Hi Amanda, I completely understand where your husband is coming from – I might need to get my partner to hide the book somewhere today so it doesn’t distract me from my work! I’m looking forward to reading The Likeness when I finish this one.
