Am I lucky or what?! I was one of the first to find a copy of What the Thunder Said! When I saw it lying on a table in the Dugan Library, I was tickled pink! I had been following the clues, hoping find it, and there it was! I was almost afraid the library alarm would activate as I walked it right out of the building, and I couldn't wait to get started on it. I'll be reading this all weekend, hurrying to get it back so some other interested person can enjoy it. Thank you, Operation Book Drop!

 

Congrats, Linda! Now you'll go down in history! Our first "finder"!

 

I've found book #11! I was in the Alumni area of the libray and what do you know, just like the clue said, there was a copy of "What the Thunder Said." This will be a great book to read over my holiday weeked!

I'll keep you updated!

 

How fun! I had the opportunity to drop "What the Thunder Said" at the beautiful Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park in early October 2008. I left it on the beautiful veranda. Sure enough - the next morning -- it was gone! I was there for a friend's wedding and truly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the interesting people from all over the world! So. . .where did this book go?! Regardless, reader, I hope you enjoy this delightful work of art.
