I got my BYFIAR Volume 1 (okay, well, dd's) and it looks great! I can't wait to get started...was going to get the first book (The Boxcar Children) from the library but I decided we need to have our own copy. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime--we'll get it tomorrow for $4 shipping! Yay! :D

i was looking at that (for beginners)a while ago. i'll have to take another look.

enjoy!

btw, what is amazon prime? is that like being a gold member?

Yeah, Amazon Prime is really cool. I was feeling flush once last spring and signed up for it (I think I had to pay $50...there was a special IIRC) since we tend to order a lot of books, etc. from Amazon and often dh needs quick shipping. You get free 2-day shipping or $3.99 overnight shipping on things that sell directly fom Amazon and aren't over-sized. You can also invite up to 5 "family members" to enjoy the benefits for free. It'd be great to get people to go in on the cost--which is my hope when I have to renew it! LOL!

As far as FIAR, I have been considering getting it for years (about 3 now) and I'm glad I finally decided to get it. I can't wait to get Before for my youngest and the regular one for my 7yo. :D

We've just started BYFIAR and my DS is LOVING it! He's so into Boxcar children he checked out a dozen more of the books from the library, lol. Hope you guys enjoy it, too!
