So you pegged it right. It was great to be at BEA-if you get the chance, you should go! Of the books I mentioned, I've read THE DUFF, and it's lots of fun--a bodice-ripper for teens. Can't wait to read the others.Leah Odze Epsteinhttp://www.drinkingdiaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-54958137987154087622010-06-01T07:49:43.807-04:002010-06-01T07:49:43.807-04:00Thanks Ann Marie!
