I really enjoyed <I>The Hunger Games</I> -- just wish there'd been more of it!<br /><br />Last night I sat up till one o'clock in the morning, even though I was already tired, even though my husband was begging me to come to bed, because I was reading <I>Agnes and the Hitman</I> by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer. I've wanted to read this for ages, ever since I read some of their He Said/She Said writing workshops online. Yesterday I was at a school fete and found it at the secondhand book stall. It was so much fun I just couldn't stop!Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231656540175892601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-49131957697267751932009-05-17T16:30:00.000-04:002009-05-17T16:30:00.000-04:00Can I have it when you are finished?
