And I'm all like "HOW could I not know? I NEED to read it" :) It was much easier when I was small and my parents were making sure that I always read the book first. Sometimes what I read depended on the TV program for the week, because there was no Internet and good movies were not aired that often :)Arenelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646965847129179304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-1844317657363187812014-01-16T07:45:26.229+01:002014-01-16T07:45:26.229+01:00I'm with Emily, time for a reread for me too. ...I'm with Emily, time for a reread for me too.

Maybe this is going to sound weird, but it's one of those books I haven't considered picking up because to me it has a bit silly/not appealing name... (I have a small list of such books - there is no rational reasoning behind the dislike of the title other than... I just don't like them :) )Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822647988376386021.post-23063503371393688452014-01-15T20:53:50.155+01:002014-01-15T20:53:50.155+01:00I read this book years ago and loved it!
