I need to get going on All Passion Spent, too.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-70155684836179243592007-12-12T15:50:00.000+00:002007-12-12T15:50:00.000+00:00Simon, have you read All Passion Spent yet?

There is often a financial arrangement that says - for instance - each person will spend £10.<BR/><BR/>OVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-24274509117220737612007-12-11T20:30:00.000+00:002007-12-11T20:30:00.000+00:00Sounds like a good haul for a Secret Santa!

As for OVW's plaintive cry, have you read Margaret Craven's ' I Heard the Owl Call my Name'? One of the most beautiful books i have ever read.
