Disney!
The Boarder will be pleased to know that the lions have cardboard enrichment activities!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny-
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing to do with studs, but I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Lionel Shriver's writing. I read "Double Fault" a couple of years ago when you recommended it, and found it powerful and thought-provoking.
Last night I finished "We Need to Talk about Kevin." Oh my god! Off the Powerfully thought provoking meter! What an amazing writer!
Thanks again. Keep the recs coming.
