So I joined. And I won!
From the list of 21 books, here are the 3 titles I gave for the ONE book I’ll be winning:

I was quite hesitant to read this book when I was pregnant because it’s about a child who has Down’s Syndrome.
The Chinese are highly superstitious about stuff like this i.e. if you look or think about anything ugly, abnormal etc when you’re pregnant, you may likely get a child like that.

REVIEW: Mighty Queens of Freeville

by KittyCat on May 18, 2009

I received this book for review last week and couldn’t wait to dig into what sounded like “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” and “Calendar Girls”.
A small town girl myself, I was interested to read about “the town that raised them” as Amy Dickinson goes through a divorce and raised her daughter on [...]
