I think I should. <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed this one! <br /><br />To answer your question on Born a Crime on my blog - I did read it yes, and listened to the Audio as well which was excellent. His voice and nuances added just that little bit extra. It was popular here in SA, but not as popular as you would have guessed. Many people thought it was a bit too one-sided. Still worth the read though!<br /><br /><a href="https://elzareads.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-sunday-post-45.html" rel="nofollow">Elza Reads</a>Elza Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147340976876251074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-69620579267822624482021-08-08T08:06:34.957-04:002021-08-08T08:06:34.957-04:00Sounds good--don't we all enjoy hearing about ...Sounds good--don't we all enjoy hearing about other families and their weird dysfunctions?
