My biggest fear was that she was going to rip Dracula to shreds, but I found myself relaxing more and more with each chapter.<BR/><BR/>You've amassed quite an eclectic bunch of books lately! The sound great! I've been hearing a lot about The Lace Reader lately....it sounds like just my kind of book. I'll pick it up one of these days, I have so many other books to read!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.com
