I should read that book. Thanks for the reminder. :)

His mommy has the copy you are thinking of, since he thinks she should read it. And yeah, it has the slip in the back (I discovered it over there while I was house sitting at Christmas).

Sure. I'm shipping his book to him with his present next time I visit the post office.

The Mists of Avalon is one of those books for me, the first one that springs to mind this morning. I'll have to check out McKinley!

my go-to-can-read-over-and-over-again book is Good Omens by Neil Gaimen
