Great books to read anytime
Hi
My name is Alana and I am new to this site. I just read a great book called the sisterhood of the traveling pants, I know the title may sound a bit funny but it is a great read. Sorry all you guys it might not be your kind of reading material. It is basically about a group of 4 girls: Carmen, Bridget, Lena, and Tibby. This summer they are all going is different directions: Greece,and Baja California are a couple of examples. They share a pair of pants and document their travel in the pants. This is a very interesting book that I think is worth the reading time. Talk to you later. |

The maps are printed on very sturdy paper, though, and can be used to block the ultra-cosmic radiation from coming in and stunting your growth.

I'm going to make this perfectly clear as nicely as possible. Terry Pratchett is one of about a hundred pseudonyms I invented since I was a child. If you think that the person in the picture of the back cover is the actual author, then that's quite expected. HIS real name is David, and at random moments he is still a very friendly accquaintance.
Thanks for reading one of our books, hope you enjoyed it; ) |

I do have private messaging, for your convenience. I really don't wish to embarass anybody and I will continue to tell the truth about everything and anything I have actually penned and sung. I am not obligated to keep my mouth shut about any of this.
