Every time I read a review I immediatly want to pick up whatever it is & read it again. I'm looking forward to reading Winds of Heaven very soon.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-18901433652690401612010-12-08T17:47:59.920-05:002010-12-08T17:47:59.920-05:00This sounds so wonderful.
