Tierney loves to read and goes to the library quite frequently. Linda loves to read and buys her books at the thrift store. Now, they are both going to be thinking twice before the bring the used/old books into the house. A Denver Public Library had to quarantine and fumigate 4 areas of their branch because a man kept returning books filled with BED BUGS! Yuck. I guess if you have bed bugs in your bed and you read in the said bed, those bugs are going to jump into the books. When Tier was little, she would have loved this book.
