Hi, Lisa! I loved reading your Sevens. Yours are totally unique, hardly any crossover with mine, but I found myself thinking, "Wish I'd thought of that!" Not the running, though. If I ran a marathon, I would die. I really did enjoy the Blue Shoes book. I was, of course, expecting a murder that didn't happen, but that was very courageous of the author. Every day life seems to be the thing with him. I'll definitely be reading more of these. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Julia
