Originally, when you sent out the list of books before the beginning of the semester, you listed the book "Miracle at St. Anna" because that's what I bought. Is this a mistake, or should I borrow this one from a freshman?

Karissa, yes, I had briefly considered a different McBride novel, but I ended up keeping The Color of Water.

Kristen, I've scheduled you to present.

Just a confirmation -- now that it's been established that the bookstore ordered Miracle at St. Anna instead of The Color of Water, we'll switch.

Kristen, do you still want to present on this?

are we doing both books then? I don't have the miracles at st. anna, because I had seen that you or somebody had changed it to color of water, it's to late to get another book now.

We're just doing Miracle at St. Anna, since that's what the bookstore offered.

Sue, it's 2pm, and I'm in my office again until 4. I'll be in and out running errands, but never gone for more than a few minutes.

what am I supposed to do since I don't have miracle at st. anna? I thought you said you were doing both?

what am I supposed to do since I don't have miracle at st. anna? I thought you said you were doing both? Also, the library had both books.

No, we're just doing Miracle at St. Anna. I did order The Color of Water for a different class.

well, I don't have the book, so what am I supposed to do?

You'll need to get a copy of the book.

Perhaps you can borrow a book from someone else in the class. (I just called the local Barnes & Noble, and they said they could get a copy in about a week.)

You said the library had a copy... if you're in luck, maybe you can still get it. Which library did you find it in? I didn't see it in the Reeves catalog.

sorry I ment the bookstore, the library doesn't have it

Sue, I have The Color of Water as well....

...and I just now found out we switched.
