Woo hoo! The prodigal daughter is finally back on American soil.
Unfortunately, someone in the baggage department in London removed several books from her luggage and she's up in Boston right now, before the final leg of her journey home, fuming over their loss (one was a textbook that cost more than $100), as anyone who'd purchased 35 new books over the summer would be.

It's for things like the book theft I resent not being able to lock luggage anymore. I hope she's able to be reimbursed for the loss.

Which one did you get????

ReplyDeleteThat's Chinatown, the one I have. I need to get Blue Horse.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that! I hope she's able to get reimbursed for the books.
ReplyDeleteI've heard she's likely to get only half of what she requested. And weeks from now on top of that. :(
