Sometimes I think some novels are really novellas with lots of filler.Elizabeth Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322056244180901707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-84213269372538165422011-06-25T13:17:09.008-04:002011-06-25T13:17:09.008-04:00I love the idea of this novella!
