This post was a lot of fun. I'm going to answer your question about what book I've read recently that I might read again and that's Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and her daughter. Every author should read this. Here's a little teaser about the book. It's a fairytale told in three POV's. The prince in the story, the prince once the reader closes the book, and the girl reading the story. Peaked your interest yet? This book is fantastic. My new favorite book of all time. It's a YA book but adults will love it too. It even has some really cool illustrations!Allyn Stotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125021589041199877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-22813959296660212972012-08-16T08:37:05.893-04:002012-08-16T08:37:05.893-04:00Ruth, loved this post!
