Hi Rosemarie,
I'm sure you will love Goodbye for now when you are able to get to it. Lol.
I wouldn't dream of telling you who comes to life or who doesn't. I will
tell you this though get your kleenex ready if you are a sensitive person.
A few times throughout this book I needed mine.
I think I've only read manhunt and a christmas story written by janet
Evanovich, but the other books you mentioned sound interesting so I'm going
to keep this message as a reference.
Thanks for your good wishes regarding my iPhone. I'm learning something new
every day and I'm loving it. I use the BARD Mobile App all the time as well
as many others. Whatever choice you make when it comes to getting an I
device you won't go wrong. I decided on a phone because it was time to
upgrade from my Haven since it wasn't cooperating anymore. I knew that I
couldn't afford a cell phone and a separate i device so I figured that
since I would get a discount for upgrading I may as well just get the phone
and be done with it. I think for some people it is the most economical way
to go.
