And while my library doesn't have all of the ones I remember, we've got Ballet, Theatre, and Dancing Shoes in print and CD, and Ballet as a downloadable audio as well.

My second was to reflect on which of my collection of English boarding school books to suggest you try first--I will recommend Eveyln Finds Herself, which is a Very Good Book with a smart heroine who actually does school work. <br /><br />I don't like paying actual real money for books I haven't read or haven't heard enough about to be pretty sure, but I don't mind the fifty cents at the library book sales...or the one that really set me back, when a library was moving and sold off the bulk of their older childrens and YA books for ten cents each...I went home with well over 100 from that...<br /><br />Is anyone actually reading Ballet Shoes?

And if you ever need a house sitter for a week or two, I think i would happily live with your books. I have a habit of only buying books I have already read, and since I've read all the books in my achool library, I sometimes miss having piles of things I might like to read readily at hand!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.com
