An awesome book with an amazing ending you won't see coming.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your final list :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838008635965872830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-20680642792077804532011-09-21T06:43:16.635+01:002011-09-21T06:43:16.635+01:00I also agree with Laura, The Help is just great!I also agree with Laura, The Help is just great!Mari - Escape In A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597584812785465678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-88284640696779593412011-09-21T06:40:48.391+01:002011-09-21T06:40:48.391+01:00Great idea, Viv!
