That's great because I have a book that I've been meaning to read....of course I gotta' find it first, but it meets at least 5 or 6 requirements, if I remember correctly. Thanks for the info. I will go for it.

Definitely! I have a Brother's Grimm Complete Fairy Tales collectible book, I was thinking about reading a story or two from there.


These Violent Delights (Robin) | 1236 comments Mod
I got mine from B&N as well!


These Violent Delights (Robin) | 1236 comments Mod
Here's a listopia of Domestic Violence books: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

I'm going to read A Community of Butterflies Chrysalis by Barbara Shoff for that one.

I'm still trying to find a book with a celebration in it. Even if it is a book with a holiday in it and the characters aknowledge the holiday.

I'll pick a book for you! That's if you'd like me to.
