It really is exciting.winning all of these books! Today I went to the Baltimore Book Festival and Reading Group Choices was sponsoring the same give away. One of the people working the booth was the one who mailed out the boxes. Who knows….maybe I will win again. She assured me that if I won I would receive different books! For those in the Baltimore Area, the festival is worth checking out tomorrow. Sunday’s hours are 12-7.
