Carrie Archambault "domestic goddess" (Hotlanta) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Shoe Bird (Hardcover)

LOVE JIM DALE but even he can't make this interesting. It was really a waste of time and money. We listen to books on cd all the time and it was painful to make everyone listen to this all the way through. It's not long at all- just feels like it
