Well, I have it on my TBR list, too. I found it when I was unpacking some other boxes.

My husband has read it, and he really like it. I'm going to put it on my priority list.

My Book Family

Oh, I surely do! And I often get really down when I finish a great read. IT's like I can't read enough to zip through it. And then when it's over, I'm really sad.

Italian and Latin

Does anyone know if the online translators that are "hooked" to my word program are reliable?
