@AnotherMissBennet thanks for the tag!
1. I don't remember if I have ever bought a book after borrowing it, but my sister bought me both the tagged one and The Picnic after I kept, as she put ir, coveting them when I went to her house, LOL!
2. Yes! I am now in the habit of reading a little from each book I am currently working on each day (or nearly) due to the readalongs.
