IMO poorly written fiction, very graphic but fairly well done erotica. I didn't discourage it's selection at all. LOL! I have no idea how we will discuss. <br />FWIW only Derry and I read book and the discussion was short. <br />I loved Dairy Queen. <br /><br />I burned out at the same rate, next year I'll help one day a week 3.5 hours at the HS it was great for staying in touch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91006290466163194582012-04-15T19:42:23.410-04:002012-04-15T19:42:23.410-04:00What a wonderful thing about your daughter saving ...What a wonderful thing about your daughter saving the life of that kitty!!
