Never the less, if you want a suggestion of which one to start first, pick up You Are My Only. I also have that book and I read a bit past the opening lines. I can tell you it's very good.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-83181500547961079712011-09-27T13:29:20.747-04:002011-09-27T13:29:20.747-04:00Tough question, but I vote for You Are My Only.Tough question, but I vote for You Are My Only.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-47787606350688684332011-09-27T12:49:36.522-04:002011-09-27T12:49:36.522-04:00All very good, but I'm especially fond of the ...All very good, but I'm especially fond of the lines from Let's Take the Long Way Home and You Are My Only.
