I was lucky enough to win an ARC from someone's blog and did a happy dance all over my house when I received it. Then it took me months to convince my son to read it because, you know - I'm mom, so what could I possibly know about cool books? He is so funny because he's loved every book I've recommended but it takes him forever to give in. Makes me look forward to the teen years. ;)Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-51504927544521134782011-12-28T19:47:07.609-05:002011-12-28T19:47:07.609-05:00Thanks for another great review, Sandy!
