Ever since I've heard of it last week, I've wishlisted it.

Maybe that makes it even sadder having a bomb dropped where kids play. It made me think of Princess Diana and her interest in those injured by land mines.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-28671441610547644272012-07-03T08:32:18.562-04:002012-07-03T08:32:18.562-04:00Yes, so far all the books I have listed have turne...Yes, so far all the books I have listed have turned out to be really good - but then I love historical fiction.
