All I Have

Miss Shosho, we aim to please. Some modifications have been added to the categories. In addition, some hyperlinks to listopia and other threads have been posted. I hope this helps...and there is always Spell-It-Out.

It sure does make one wonder why listopia has a "Headless Women" list, but not one for men, doesn't it? Not that I'm trying to ruffle any female feathers.

maybe you should start one,mr. Elf!

I am in for spell it out

Great, Sonny Daze! I've had my eye on that one for awhile.

Thanks Susan. I've heard such great things about it and I loved the Wallflowers!

Yes, love the Wallflowers series - and the Hathaways. I recently listened to that one as a "re-read" on audio, Lauren. LOVE that blue dress.

I haven't read the Wallflowers yet. I've got all the books, just need to make time for them.

None that I know of, Jennifer. Like you, I thought that one was going to be a piece of cake. Seems like I see covers with phones and cells phones all the time, but I can recall them now. Except...

There is also - but I never read it.

My profound apologies, Miss Jenny! **tips hat** I'd be much obliged if you'd forgive my oversight.
