Welcome, Rosie. You'll fit right in. We have several singers, as well as professional pianists, and, of course, many, many book lovers. Ad lots of college students, both undergraduate and graduate and those who have just finished advanced degrees. If you like grammar books, have you read Eats, Shoots and Leaves? It's in the collection. BTW, folks, the author, Lynne Truss, has written another book, The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why, You Can't Manage without Apostrophes! This is a picture book of 32 pages intended for ages 9 - 12. There's also a picture book version of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for grades 1 - 3 . It's smart of the author and publisher to do that to help kids learn proper punctuation. Cindy --- Rosie <nothingbutlime@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hey guys! My name is Rosie.
