Unfortunately I didn't get to attend the event we had planned as I was poorly but I've been told it was a huge success with some 70+ students going home with a book.<br /><br />Suko: Sadly I'm not able to offer the book as a giveaway on my blog. All books were allocated to a WBN event held at the college where my husband works.<br /><br />Stephanie: I know just what you mean as I have reservations about reading and reviewing such books. I chose to offer this so that we had a range of different genres to offer the students who participated in our WBN event.<br /><br />Haddock: Nice to have you stop by, its been a while.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-28591287309176530662014-04-24T12:59:32.351+01:002014-04-24T12:59:32.351+01:00If it is hilarious then I am going to have a look ...If it is hilarious then I am going to have a look at it.

I think doing so muddles things. Thus I am glad that this is memoir and not fiction.<br /><br />Without a doubt serious subjects can leave one laughing.
