[BHE 380] Library Books, Book Depository Buys, and Review Copies

Myra here.

If things go as they should, we would have been in the United Arab Emirates by now, ready to begin our new life adventure. Some of the books I am sharing here are borrowed from the Singapore libraries, a few weeks ago. One of my first tasks now that we have moved is to find the local libraries here in Al Ain. At any rate, here are some of the books that managed to find us over the past weeks or so.
