The Wedding People is massively popular at library with all forms in use, more on order and 361 holds! I'm #362.

Currently reading Up on the Woof Top by Spencer Quinn, with my old friend Chet up to mischief again. "Chet discovers that he is not fond of reindeer. But the case turns out to be about much more than reindeer after Dame Ariadne's personal assistant takes a long fall into Devil's Purse, a deep mountain gorge."
