I'm healthy, thank you, just in the middle of a family crisis.  Thank you for bumping up the thread.

Thank you, Wotan.  We're pretty sad right now, but finally feeling some hope for the future.

Bringing to first page again for you.
I have noticed it is so much easier to remember what posts have been read when part of the plot is in the subject line, rather than the generic (eg. book search, finding a book, lost book, etc.). Everyone is searching for a book! It's a keyword in the subject line that draws many to read the post...

Thanks, Bookel.

That's one of LL2's first tips in the link provided below:

Give your discussion a title more meaningful and distinctive wording than "Looking for a book."  EVERYONE who comes to BookSleuth is either LOOKING for a book or helping to IDENTIFY a book.  For example:  someone who forgot the title of A Christmas Carol by Dickens may use the title "Miser boss visited by 3 ghosts at Christmas" or some such wording relevant to the book being described.  You want people to open your post, so advertise it!

Great minds think alike!
