My sincere apologies to you both and anyone else....
I had not watched the trailer, but went back to remove it just now and cannot. Someone muted it for what it's worth, of it was already like that, but if any mod can delete plz do.

Re: Banished!
I added it to my to-read list on goodreads. If you like those kind of books ILG, I found a list that had some in the same vein of various fundmentalist religious groups:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...moirs#15791137
(And yes, Goodreads is pretty much my favorite website in the whole world, because at 38 yeards old, and reading 200-300 books a year, I would be completely lost without it!)

Well, maybe it's not the right time if it was making you nauseous.  This girl was treated very badly by her family and the church. I was more disgusted by her parents though.

That's a great list, Mich! I am a librarian so I've read a good number of those already but I had not used that type of listing before. Thanks!

If you are a reader, or a Librarian, or anything to do with books, it's a great website to use, as they have great lists, you can make your own personal bookshelves (things you've read or want to read), and even keep track of books that haven't been published yet.
I am good friends with many of the Librarians at the local library. (Particularly the manager), and they always let me know when they are going to be making new purchases, so I can submit my list of suggestions.
I am so jealous though, because the libraries in the state where you live (in case it's secret), are so much better than those down here. I live in a very small county, and for example, our library got a measly $4500 for purchasing new materials this year! If I didn't have access to two e-book libraries (where you live) I would probably go crazy!

We are part of a great system where it's free to order any books from any libraries in the system so you can do a web search and order whatever you want and it is delivered to your library! This is just a great perk for people.

Re: Banished!
My daughter and I were talking about the similarity between the UPC and WBC in that people have to deny their feelings to a certain degree.
