  53. What a generous offering! It was a difficult choice, as both lots were great.

    I look forward to following your posts!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Lena,

    What a generous offer for the giveaway. As others have said, it was a difficult choice because both lots were so good.

    I'm afraid that you will find two entries for me because of all things my cat launched a sneak attack at my desk and laptop when I was filling out the form the first time, and an incomplete form was submitted. I'm terribly sorry about that. I love my four-legged, furry monster, but some days he's insane.

    He is a great lover of books though. He regularly lays across mine and looks at me as if to say, read to me.
