After reading several of your comments, I did check it out, but haven't had the chance to start it yet as I'm reading a Kay Dacus book. I did read a James Patterson book this last week "Sunday at Tiffany's" by James Patterson. I usually don't read secular books, I honestly don't have a tons of time to read, but am curious about this one.Aspiring Mom2threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823281380825825244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635766407444068698.post-78143763224505862332010-04-27T19:23:37.429-05:002010-04-27T19:23:37.429-05:00I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet....I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet.
