Sherry – thanks for the mention of ‘Dancing Priest’ – I hope you enjoyed it.
Glynn–Yes, I did , very much. However, I’m technically “not blogging” for the duration of Lent, only posting pre-set posts. So you and the world will have to wait until after Easter for my review.
You have a lot of books waiting for you in April. Enjoy!
I haven’t been here for awhile, and I love your new theme. I’ve also added this theme to several of my blogs. I love the nice big space for the header.
