I shall have to shortlist it for next year's challenge. :-)Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-40128184437992715572012-07-18T10:12:29.181-07:002012-07-18T10:12:29.181-07:00Carin: This is a book I will proselytize for.
