Have decided to give in and do this thing-ie. something to do with book-week happening somewhere. who decides when book-week will happen anyway? and where are my books?1. One that changed my life:
Dolphin Sunrise by Elizabeth Webster, i was 10 and it was part of the Readers Digest Condensed Book project (thinigie).

5. One that made me cry:
