That's often where I find mine.<br /><br />Ted: Oh, I know the Big-TBR-pile feeling. Make sure you get to Tigana at some point, though! It's well worth the time. :)Claudie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10726598163986994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759789976253980784.post-62917306645437067372011-01-29T04:15:23.189-05:002011-01-29T04:15:23.189-05:00I have a similar feeling.
