We’re on the same wave length then, Veronica. Me too.

I took my grandson to buy a book and let him choose. The first book he chose is one we have at home. I’m told this is common for children as they like the familiarity. I tried to steer him towards someone I liked until he saw this book and no way could I get him to change his mind.
Today this There's A Zoo in My Poo so we are going to have lots of poo talking and giggles.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! Happy reading Veronica :)

[Marianne]

I got a notice my reserve of Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know was ready to collect. I turned up at the library without ringing for a slot, and I got id because there weren't too many people inside already.
