Melissa James, Nikki Logan and you gave me three books that really kept me smiling. I love when authors get together to do a mini-series.

Poor Sapphie - how's a girl supposed to resist?<br /><br />As for winning - very occasionally. The one that makes me smile was years ago when I won a fruit basket in a social club raffle at work. Sounds boring, eh? This basket weighed at least 5 kilos and included all sorts of exotic fruit I'd never seen. I had to ask a friend who'd lived in SE Asia about some of them. We had such fun savouring all the new tastes.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-53768976130460461552011-08-07T11:45:01.461+10:002011-08-07T11:45:01.461+10:00Hi Marlena.
