ooh - two new books - love the ideas you write about for Where Rivers Change Directions" - lovely wording!
Read The Lovely Bones while flying home yesterday - that's a nice book too if you haven't read it.
Please tell Mousie thank you for her visit. I missed her. Grayum was pleased to see she is ok.
I did a post full of lists recently, and she was on my list of favourite girls ;@}
