Barbara Ewing -I read The Trespass before I blogged so I don't think I've ever posted about her. I think you would like The Trespass, and the subject matter of a few of her other books sound interesting too. Check her out!<BR/><BR/>Carrie K, I'd never heard of it either. What is the deal with the rest of Lost - everyone says the same thing!<BR/><BR/>Kay, I'm so glad you're writing again. I'll be by soon.<BR/><BR/>Ti, thanks!<BR/><BR/>Red lady-Bonnie, you're going to love the catalog - I was so overwhelmed when it first arrived. I love when my girl loves books!<BR/><BR/>J.Danger, well, you did get your own present! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Eva, Yep, that's what I'm hearing about Lost. I don't know if it'll help that I'm watching them so close together.<BR/><BR/>JoAnn, to his credit, in the past my husband has made great selections of books that I already owned!
