It's 10/10 from me:)Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-27031931048273678612010-10-26T20:05:43.999+11:002010-10-26T20:05:43.999+11:00Feed the addiction, JT.

I've got it on my shelf, and will be giving it a go after reading a certain other book first :)garyhttp://www.gary-davison.comnoreply@blogger.com
