Which one would you like to see win?
I have to say, Margaret, you’ve got such terrific books here! There are at least half a dozen authors whose work I really enjoy, and several I’m interested in reading! I couldn’t even say which I hope you get, because so many are, in my opinion, good ‘uns. Whichever comes up, I hope you enjoy it.
