I think I would love to take a crack at it for fun but it seems like something creative and slightly insane people do which is probably why I love books and authors so much (;<br />Have fun reading!<br />Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-5830850742944306272016-05-20T20:37:53.046-07:002016-05-20T20:37:53.046-07:00I like the sound of this - great beginning advice....I like the sound of this - great beginning advice.
