I can't cook and am often shooed away from the kitchen because I keep burning myself on the oven or burning the chicken (or both, really). So why read about cooking? <BR/><BR/>But when you mention the characters and how lovely a book it would be for a luxurious bubble bath, I found myself intrigued. I have defnitely been craving books that are lighter this past week (and I am sure weeks to come). Thanks for a lovely review. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-79603526051006872792009-01-29T16:25:00.000-08:002009-01-29T16:25:00.000-08:00Great review!
