A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I've decided I really do want it. The agency represents a number of really great books, such as: CJ Sansom ( Dissolution, a novel about the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII), Brenda Janowitz ( Scot on the Rocks, which is a chick lit novel; the author teaches the course I'm going to take in the spring), Donna Cross ( Pope Joan, about the 9th Century woman who manged to become Pope), and Karlene Koen ( Dark Angels, about the 17th century court of Charles II).

On Sunday my dad's coming up to visit. I haven't see him in a while, so it'll be good to see him. He's even planning to have an Easter egg hunt in my apartment for me, just like old times.
