Its just I am one of those people who will stay up the whole night to finish a great book and then when it finally ends I am dissapointed because its over, so this is actually a great way to deliver a story. <br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449237220581999419.post-5222811859063189022011-01-21T10:44:41.097+11:002011-01-21T10:44:41.097+11:00Daniel, love your comment and suggestion -
